just a reminder, the fascists don’t actually have the power they are projecting yet. they also do not have the means to control every American if they were to try and enact some form of policestate. They cannot control this country and they cannot kill enough of us to stop them from losing control - ThreadSky

There's a handful of billionaires and if they started biting it and could prove it was because they were fascist collaborators the rest of them would change their tune REAL fast.

Important to remember that Goering himself admitted that the Nazi state could not have functioned without support from the public and that the state would not be able to function if it had to fight the people

"We chose the way of a so-called plebiscite. We also took the point of view that even a government founded on the Leadership Principle could maintain itself only if it was based in some way on the confidence of the people..."

"If it no longer had such confidence, then we would have to rule with bayonets, and the Fuehrer was always of the opinion that that was impossible in the long run-to rule against the will of the people."

If anyone doubts this, think about China. Xi (and Chinese leadership going back decades) desperately desires total control over the third largest country in the world and a population of 1.4 billion.

They can't. It's impossible. They pretend they can and hope everyone buys it.

This is where their interpretation of 2A will contribute to their own undoing.

When they do try to exert control over the population they are going to find that there's a lot of guns out there.

You'll know it's coming when they change their tune about gun control.

Totally agree.
The US is so vast and virtually uncontrollable.
Think of every city and town being micromanaged by American Stasi.
Impossible.
They don't have the people, the intelligence, or even the power.

Just look at the failure of control in any Middle East country.

The fascist Weaponized unreality is brittle as hell and the more they push the more likely it is that it fractures in fundamental ways that leave them completely powerless to command what they need to actually hold this country at the barrel of a rifle. they are thoroughly outnumbered

The thing with propaganda states is once they start to collapse and people start to think outside of the information silo that the propaganda state tries to rigidly enforce It’s very hard to continue the group think required to keep it structurally together

I’m going to clarify here as well when I say power. They have political power, and they have the power of the government what they don’t have is enough social powered overcome the destruction they are doing in their other positions of power. You need all three to solidify completely.

This is the thing I keep telling myself. The culture isn’t there. They’re trying to force it via state power

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 hours ago

The culture is there, but it’s very much a fraction of the Republican base. The fascists have over estimated their power so far on the social side of it it's wild. They have been isolated in their own ecosystem so long they believe that a majority of the party and the country are on their side.

insortediaboli.bsky.social•12 hours ago

yeah sorry, meant the broader culture. the diehards are convinced they have won a new cultural revolution

and finally, I’m just gonna say this from the social-historical perspective America takes a long time to move as a population, but once it does, God help you if you are in the way of us because we are a sledgehammer.

Trump always reminds us, if you hit him he hits you back 10 times harder. At some point, it’s necessary to hit him so hard - politically - that he can’t hit back at all.
