I’m here for the scraps
This is the most key sentence of your whole post. I find myself yelling this point at so many people. "It doesn't happen to me so why should I care?". That indifference led to some 60-80 million people dying in combat from 1939-45 because it allowed his regime to seize power in the first place. This man has talked about banning muslims from entering the country and forcing the ones already here onto a registry while he publishes a regular announcement of crimes committed by immigrants (To give precedent, the nazis published a newsletter called the criminal Jew every weekwhere they "announced crimes committed by them"). He talked about weakening the first amendment on the campaign trail so he could prosecute people who don't speak kindly of him, demanded his supporters attack protestors, and openly calling for his supporters to keep "certain people" from voting. He is openly employing a commission to use openly racist tactics to keep people from voting against him in the future. He's appointed a secretary of education opposed to the separation of church and state. He's gutted the state department, whose job is to resolve disputes through diplomacy instead of war while he threatens to destroy an entire nation that the Chinese will defend if we attack, which means war with a nation of over 1 billion people. He's consistently tried to take healthcare from tens of millions of people so he can cut taxes on his own tax bracket. He's left millions to die in Puerto Rico, and gives pardons to sheriffs who describe their jails as concentration camps where inmates are denied water, food, and basic medical attention while being left in the 140 degree heat of the Arizona desert outdoors in his camps while he violates court orders to stop terrorizing the Latino community. He appoints an oil executive who has spent his life attacking the environmental protection agency to be in charge of it so they can destroy our clean air and water for corporate profits. He's appointed an attorney general opposed to the voting rights act and the civil rights act so flagrantly racist that he referred to a white civil rights lawyer as a disgrace to his race who has accelerated the transfer of military weapons to the police, including bayonets and grenade launchers. He attacks peaceful protestors who call for justice when cops kill unarmed men frequently of color while defending the nazis, klansmen, and confederate sympathizers as very fine people. His election is without question, the greatest danger humanity has faced since the end of the Second World War. There is no room to sit on the sidelines for this. He is actively working to turn this nation into the white supremacist dictatorship he wishes it to be. To be indifferent is to be complicit.The man is undermining the fabric of democracy in the US. You claim it isn't affecting you, but it is. Your former international allies are actively moving forward without consulting you.
White supremacists and evangelical hacks are climbing out of the woodwork to put black people back in their 'place' in your country and "******" has become a popular word for cacs to use again.
People are fighting tooth and nail to stop the US becoming the next authoritarian regime and because you don't see that tree falling in the forest, it never fell in your eyes? That's really fukking obtuse. People with your attitude allowed hitler to do what he did.
i fukked up
