You’re literally describing the United States post-9/11, the only difference is that they’ve gone mask off. We’ve been in a christofascist techno hellhole sprinkled with North Korea dictatorship this entire time. We effectively have one party with two (slightly different) wings (both right wing, though), and did you really think it was normal to pledge allegiance to the flag of your country every single day while slurping down Department of Education approved propaganda?
The military junta would not be a better set of circumstances. It would be exactly like right now only more extreme, considering all of the top military brass is also a bunch of christofascists
Um, yes? Have you read the Patriot Act? Are you aware of the PRISM program from NSA? What about our immigration policy which is just a passed-down-the-line version of the Bush era immigration policy? This stuff didn’t start with Trump. It’s been ramping up for a while.
The parties are not even remotely the same. One sucks. The other wants to fucking kill Americans on american soil with American troops to crush any and all opposition.
One hand washes the other. Remember this: no good, decent, kind person wants to be in charge of their people. There is no thing as a good politician.
You’re right, it’s much much worse now. But this has always been where we have been heading. Probably since Reagan. Maybe longer. The difference is that you started paying attention.
I think it can and will become really more extreme as soon as all the peon are in place. Think automatic drone kill in US city, target choosen by an AI when you write or say anything they don’t like a really automatic killing factory and i’m not from the US but they will come for us up north when everything they consider “left” fall.
And yes i know most military brass are fascist too but i do hope (naively i guess ) that some of them still love the USA enough to fight for it

Oh it’s gonna get more extreme no matter what. We are fully passed the tipping point now. No where to go but through, I fear.
