      Yeah this is not going to result in anything good. I keep thinking about what’s happened after Robert Fico got shot, basically how it’s being used as a confirmation of everything bad his supporters believe about his opponents and as a justification for further sliding into authoritarianism

        Yeah, this is my real fear with all of this. Trump is definitely going to feed on his new victimhood to further rally his supporters and make them more extreme.

      Yep.

      I fully expect at least several “retaliatory” attacks against democrats in the next week by rabid MAGAts.

      What happens next was going to happen eventually anyways. It’s been too late for a long time.

        I’m finding it so bizarre to witness this mass cognitive dissonance where people can make the connection to Hitler’s rise to power, but not to the heroic act so many claim they would perform themselves if they had a time machine…

        It’s almost like they need a few million marginalised people to die first, just to be sure
