   Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

     Disengagement and demoralization are fascist gold.

     @kaffando @GhostOnTheHalfShell I don't think that will happen, it could negatively affect the Stock Market, and arresting Biden and Obama, would mean opens himself up to arrest

     My fear is he dies and Vance becomes president

     I hope that I am completely and entirely wrong, but I'm not fully sure that I am. They will do everything and anything, including (& I do think this will happen) arresting Biden, Harris, Walz, Obama and many others within minutes of being inaugurated.

     I keep saying this.

     People talking about how to get through the next four years.

     It won't be four years.

     It won't be trump - it will be Vance and possibly De Santis after that.

     I’m torn about that even that. I don’t expect they’ll be able to hold the US together as an entity and I don’t think they really care.

     These are a bunch of libertarians running around screaming smash the state. The semantic content of that screaming is they want to smash up the nation and rule on its ashes.

     Billionaires are a transnational ruling class. There is they have no loyalty to any nation.

     With all due respect, we won’t have to vote anymore. That was a promise from Trump, backed by the wealthiest economic strata of the US.

     The GOP is an avatar of US plutocracy. Billionaires are taking up some of the most prominent positions in the next administration.

     I would say that the transition to totalitarian rule by wealth is complete.

     How could it open himself up to arrest? He will own the Justice dept, SCOTUS - all of it.
