Most people have no clue. I went to the dentists office today. my technician was so confused of why I wanted to leave Idaho.
I was confused why she was confused.

Yes, it is. It’s an actual fascist takeover by the right, of the most powerful nation on earth. The heart of democracy is being stopped. People keep going about their lives like this is another fucking Tuesday.

And the alternate party is seemingly 1/3 facist as well.

Seriously. Trump is not some random disease that came out of nowhere. He is a symptom of a system that is fundamentally and severely ill and whose past power holders and power brokers have been reinforcing the system to become like this.
Even if you get rid of Trump now. Unless the system is fundamentally changed, which included removing all current elites from power and permanently barring them from it, another guy like Trump or maybe even worse will come to power.
Why could Trump sweep back in for a second presidency after four years of DNC rule? Because the DNC was ultimately happy with where Trump lead the country and they were happy to continue many of his policies, rather than giving Fascism the boot.

No heart of democracy has a two party system where both parties represent one side of the political spectrum and people have been conditioned to yell at anyone even suggesting to vote third party 😂
