Good. Fine. So HOW do we stop it? What can regular Americans actually DO?

We can't file for impeachment.
We can't enact the 25th amendment.

So what do We really DO besides using our vote in midterms next flippin' year when the country would have already turned into a total no-point-of-return-authoritarian-absolute-crap-hole-country?

How screwed are we and is the advice just virtual lip service?

I'm open to ideas over here.

Throw the kitchen sink? (I think everything else has been tried)

Add this to the list. Will they say it is fascist to stop crime? Maybe if they say it is so super duper so fascist that will make a difference this time.

Did you ever play Civ2? One of the few games I ever played; a classic. Remember what happens when you get crime down to 1% in your cities?

Never did. What should I know about it?

Depends. If you empty an entire building and boot everyone outside - detaining all of them and zip-tying small children without apparent cause - while randomly searching for criminals, is that fascist-y?

While it's not original (already been done in Portland), maybe a naked bike ride would work.

Or you could make idiotic jokes and ignore your part in the country's demise, like some damned morons do.

Or you could make idiotic jokes....

How about this one?

A Democrat and a Republican are walking along the beach when they spot a bottle.
They picked it up and a genie popped out.

"I will grant you each one wish, whatever you desire", said the genie.

The Democrat said, "I would like for my fellow liberals and I to live the life and exist under the form of government we believe in!"
POOF! All the Democrats in America were whisked away to Venezuela.

The genie turns to the Republican and said, "And what is your wish?"

The Republican paused for a second and said, "You mean to tell me that all the Democrats in America are gone?"

The genie answered, "Yes!"

The Republican goes, "In that case, I'll take a beer."

Those Antifa folks are such brutal hooligans.

I imagine this would make any addled idiot laugh. I'm sure it would make people laugh who think it's ok to separate kids from their families, or enjoy burning insects with a magnifying glass. Cruelty is just hilarious, isn't it?

damned Christians these days. Assholes.
