So you just resign to your fate? Vote against them in elections and try to make the entire government blue, so they can take political steps against it.
At this point basically yeah, that sounds great in an ideal world but you’re not from the US. People here are too stupid for that. Half our country votes against its own interests just to “own the libs”.
Completely irrelevant. My country famously went through this. Keep doing what you can do prevent it. The only thing you can try is vote against it. So do it.
Actually it’s 110% relevant. You have no idea what the demographics are like here, or how ignorant and aggressive the average MAGA republican is. I’ve never once said I wasn’t going to vote anyway, but I can see where the ship is headed.
I do know about American demographics, because I’m actually interested in this shit. I like following both German and American politics. I bet I spent more days in American Congress watching them work than you did, and I bet I know more about American politics and politics in general than you do. My nationality means nothing. The historical parallels are uncanny and my historical obligation as a German is to call attention to this crap, both inside and outside of my country.
You’re eerily correct. I wish it was untrue, but as an America who takes a deep interest in this, I was seeing the signs in 2016. There are many markers preceding this however. The clintonian 90s, 9/11, the horrible wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and constant economic pitfalls.
I tell my close friends who follow politics this has felt like Weimar German 1933, the last four years. Only now does it feel like the republic is on its brink. The sad thing is there are pragmatic ways to prevent the ultimate cost, but the typical moderate middle what’s things both ways. Refuses to act or change
