Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?

  No. The judiciary’s acting to counter it, as it is designed to do.

  Also, fascism is and has been a fact of life in America for decades. The Patriot Act is two decades old. Open torture in America is two decades old. Ferguson was ten years ago, and nothing changed. (except militarization of police got worse and now we have cop cities) Despite vast opposition to the genocide in Gaza, Biden made sure Israel got their WMD’s. Most people in America are working 2-3 jobs at upwards of 100 hours a week for the privilege of barely surviving in a roach-infested studio. School shootings are not only a more regular phenomenon, but now people want it to be legal for people to 3-D print their guns and have them be completely untraceable. Abortion is criminalized in Idaho and soon it will be in the majority of the US states due to Biden’s failure to act.

  It’s hard for me to pretend that things have suddenly gotten worse when they’ve already been bad decades and it’s just that half of the population is always willing to ignore it because their guy is in charge.

    Might be out of the loop on this, but what is a “cop city”?

      I think the best way to describe it is a dedicated militarization complex for cops. Here is the wikipedia on the one in Atlanta.
