They won’t stop unless someone makes them stop. That’s how movements like this work, every single time. They never wind down on their own. They have to constantly keep increasing the cruelty and extremism, or else their base will see weakness and abandon them. However bad you think it is now, it’s only going to get worse, unless someone puts an end to it. Historically, there are only a few ways a fascist movement has ever been stopped, and none of them are pretty.
Yea, I have always thought about the future scenario. When they get tired of picking on the immigrant, they’ll turn to citizens. Really crazy and scary thought to even have to consider.
Generally, things chug along getting worse and worse, until suddenly we reach a tipping point. Then something happens, often small and innocuous, and it tips. Then there’s no stopping it.
The Berlin Wall came down when a single guard decided on his own that he wasn’t going to stop the growing crowd that appeared after an East German government official accidentally declared at a press conference that they would finally allow emigration, following increasingly large protests. When the world woke up that morning, NOBODY knew this would happen that day. Not a single intelligence agency anywhere on the planet predicted it. It totally surprised the entire world.
Its likely that protests and outrage in America will grow, even among disgruntled MAGAs, and one day, its just going explode, probably over something fairly small. The fuse has already been lit.
I guess its a good thing the police havent been militarizing, and filling their roster full of violent trigger happy assholes who radicalized themselves into thinking they’re the thin blue line between civilization and savagery,
No, Im saying things are so far gone that violence is looking inevitable. and that the men of power are already well prepared to commit mass violence to protest their way of life by way of bloodthirsty “police” and private security on the payroll.
There should never and will never be a point at which the police and military actually have control over the American population. Our population is one of the most violent on earth. We birthed those psychotic police officers. We made them. There’s no reason for them to scare us more than anyone else does.
They only pretend to have control. Anyone with half an iota of brainpower and understanding of numbers and revolt knows there’s only one thing to fear in this country and it’s the general population.
The cleanest way this can possibly end now is with the cult leader being removed…one way or another. Assuming the cult collapses afterward and doesn’t just attach itself to some other scumfuck that immediately steps up to fill the void.

Hopefully someone will choose one of those methods sooner than later.

We don’t have 28 years for things to boil over. Could you even imagine what would be left of the country by then?
This is the outcome I hope for. The other possibilities are a lot more messy.
when you put it like that
I guess its a good thing the police havent been militarizing, and filling their roster full of violent trigger happy assholes who radicalized themselves into thinking they’re the thin blue line between civilization and savagery,
Are you suggesting that people just lie down and take it?
