“left”… or maybe not autocratic enough?

It’s kind of ridiculous, like it’s a troll factory of some sorts… Against… Everything. Haha.

*american “politics” (or rather late stage capitalism).

but I feel you, for my own sanity, i would probably also try to disconnect a little bit of the politics in the USA, it’s also a bit demotivating/depressing in europe (Not as bad as in the USA yet, but we are on the track of that), with the rise of right-wing parties, like, why don’t those people see what they are actually trying to elect, how don’t they see how much they are propaganda-ized by fossil-fueled companies and capitalists, voting against their own interests??

What are you doing on lemmy then? It’s probably the most political forum I know of.

I think that a (for Trump) failed midterms might avoid bloodshed, in case of secession, although that itself gets more unlikely then. But since a lot of powerful supporters of Trump are in California I also think it’s fairly unlikely anyway …

… which in my understanding is a requirement for fascism.

so the army is probably still in power of trump but let’s say the midterms are very obvious in favor for the democrats. i doubt that the army is very much interested in supporting this fascism further, Trump has already disgraced himself in front of all the leaders in the army, they’re not very keen of Trump.

attempts

right, it’s obvious that they want to be fascists, and so far they are succeeding…

That’s not what I meant though. I meant that the whole system is not yet in a state that I would call fascism yet, or well, at least until this next election which I think is a very good test for the “democracy” there…

And my hope is, that Trump is that unpopular that they will indeed fail to continue with this…

Unlike smarter authoritarians/dictators, he’s not very good so far at this (although ~1/3 of the population is already brain dead, which is in his favor, but probably not enough…). But I don’t know, americans have already disappointed me twice, so it stays hope…

As I said, it certainly does have a lot of fascist tendencies, but I wouldn’t declare it fascist (yet) as long as elections are still somewhat proper, that’s why i said November is an interesting date. I think for this to be actual fascism (also do not devalue the actual fascisms we have/had so far), democracy needs to be almost entirely oppressed. We’ve seen in New York that there’s still at least a little bit of hope, for this to be turned around.

But I agree, it needs a lot of cult deprogramming, and I’m very much concerned about the mental health of the average american…

My last hope for this to be not true will be tested in November, depending on the result, I’ll finally declare USA as Fascism. But even if not, the next presidential election needs to be an entire (progressive/socialistic) turnaround, to stop this continuous degeneration of “democracy”, and there’s a lot of damage of this administration, that needs repair over the next decades.

There’s vaultwarden, I don’t think it’s difficult to migrate to that.
