    It kinda can… This brand of incompetent fascism at least

    Fascism is always incompetent, and it always (when it gets to the state America is in now) succeeds despite its incompetence.

    They still need Congress.

    They won’t by the midterms. I’d like to remind you that Trump was inaugurated only three and a half months ago. He still has almost 7 times as much time as has passed between Jan 20th and today before the midterms to pass his agenda, and project 2025 is 42% done. They’re trying to pass the SAVE act, striking a deal with Rwanda to ramp up deportations and now intimidating the judiciary. This is a lot farther along than you seem to be thinking. By the midterms, Trump will have the infrastructure in place to claim the election is stolen and declare martial law if he doesn’t get his way.

      So… Have you given up on all bloodless paths? In that case, why worry about the Democratic party at all?

      We’re too late to avoid mass suffering. We’re to late to go back to normal. We’re not too late to ride the wave to somewhere better.

      There’s no giving up. That’s just letting the fascists win. Things look bad, things are going to get worse… But it’s far from over

      We have to pursue all paths, all the time. We have to look for the cracks. The midterms are way too late to save us… But the pressure of the upcoming midterms are felt today, they can force resistance today
