I’m in australia and even I see signs of what happened when Europe became overrun by fascism happening in America. The election of Barack was the activation point to just come out into the open. All those nutjob groups like the Tea Party all coalesced into more coherent movements. The Kochs, Scaifes, deVos’ and others are funneling millions to far right extremists to weaken government power, sow instability and set up a plutocracy they’ll oversee. Boundaries are being pushed month on month with relatively little done about overt measures to subvert basic democracy. One man is sonning the whole Republican Party and is clearly a wannabe strongman. If he won again, he could clean house of impartial senior figures and replace them with yes men.
America is looking like it’ll just become Gilead from those Handmaid’s Tale books.
Not saying it will happen but the conditions are there.
