I find this comment very interesting and I couldn’t agree more with it:

Stevens rues that “Trump didn’t hijack the (Republican) party. He revealed it. And the reason that Trump is popular in the Republican Party is because he’s what Republicans want.” Even if Trump loses, “it’s not going to be the end of Trumpism.”

I remember reading Alan Bullock's “ A study in tyranny” it’s really one of the best Hitler biographies

He ends the book with John Donnes poem devotions: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main”


Fuck everyone of these Republicans that tell you, “Oh, I know he’s got a bad personality, but I am all about his policies”


Nah, every person that is voting for Trump is about his racism, his misogyny his hate. They can’t tell you one fucking policy actually going to help them. The women voting for Trump are sacrificing personal rights and replacing them with their lust for racism.


Trump exists because the Republican party wants him to exist. They want his racism they want his hatred. They are the worst part of America, and Trump has never been an island. He’s always been a part of the main. He’s the spokesman for all the garbage in America and hatred in America. He exist because they want him to exist, and they need him to exist

I gave this some thought after Trump tried to use fake electors and forged certifications to steal the 2020 election. I wouldn’t sit silently and let that happen. Too many people have sacrificed too much for this country, and I have benefited from their sacrifices. I don’t know what I would have to do or what would happen to me, but I’m not sitting on my couch watching a crook steal my country.

Edit: I should probably make clear that I wouldn’t initiate violence, but I would be part of the protest if unconstitutional methods were used to overturn the election results.

Dropping this here because IMO civil unrest on a scale worth thinking about is unlikely and this thread needs to be lightned up.
