Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.
Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.
Do you mean authoritarianism or fascism specifically? I mean look at Orban’s Hungary for a mostly non-violent way out.
Then you don’t understand what is actually happening. Just getting trump out of office is not enough. There need to be expedited, quick trials and immediate punishment for the pedophilia and treason that has been livestreamed in 4k for the last decade.
Viktor orban is free. There are some more show trials but even his rival that “defeated” him says “the courts must decide”.
What do you think will happen in our country?
Everyone has been primed for quick and happy acceptance of fascism. We were given an illusion of choice. Descend into techno fascism through physical violence, or administrative means. Either way, the people behind all of the issues here will not face time and are already funding Democrats (Thiel).
People will be so happy that trump is gone and they won’t even remember about flock cameras, employers monitoring your own body heat and emf frequencies to “know your mood”. We will not get any money back from the tarriffs. Prices will not go back down to anything substantial. They will be so distracted by the judge Judy like committee hearings and “special prosecutors” that will be “so close” to convicting anyone meaningful
And you will all cheer
Who are you talking to? You’re making a fictional strawman then arguing against them. I agree with you mostly. Trump will never face a day of justice, and he’s not leaving office alive.
I typed this whole other response but lemmy didn’t save it for some reason…
I’m disagreeing with your claim that Hungary found a non violent way out of fascism…
I then explained why.
That sounds like a good first step.
Not by anyone else’s doing other than his own
Only because of the EU actually punishing Orban for democratic backsliding by withholding funds. It is also hard to do authoritarian things when part of a confederated organisation. Meanwhile, the US has a more centralised government and a single culture, so it regulatory capture is much easier for any authoritarian figures to sneak in.
