   @platypus @Are0h A significant additional danger, it seems to me, is the group of (primarily) evangelicals who honestly and truly are trying to bring about the literal apocalypse and are getting frighteningly close to it.

     @Are0h as a librarian, I've been particularly aware of the targeted attacks on public libraries, on materials that even vaguely tackle racism and white supremacy, on programming and materials to support queer community members, on workers themselves...

     I do feel joy in the sparks of success, in seeing where communities come together or resist it and overcome harms.

     And no, I'm not saying this to be doom and gloom because frankly it's always been like this. Social media has just made it undeniable.
     
     I'm saying this because the enemies of progress have committed to a completely unsustainable methodology and that creates even more opportunities for us to create communities and alliances that further invalidate what they are doing.
     
     Our challenge is figuring out how to work together to mitigate the harm they are causing until it all collapses under it's own weight.

     Between the DEI backlash, massive layoffs, giving police virtually unlimited budgets, and the repeal of Roe vs Wade, it's pretty clear white America is determined to destroy any semblance of progress in the States.
     
     And at this point, it cannot be denied that the US would rather not exist than not adhere to white supremacy.
