Imagine explaining today's politics to someone 15-20 years ago. "Yeah Donald Trump got reelected after trying to overthrow the government and is working with the former PayPal CEO, who is a Nazi, to dismantle the federal government."
I’m old enough to remember Trump promised to end the Ukraine war within 48 hours of being elected, but all he’s done so far is break everything with no clue how to fix what he’s broken, embrace cryptobros, let them steal our data, and set the stage for the worst financial collapse in a century.
Re Biden's support for Israel, that did lose him support among Democrats and contribute Harris's loss. Regarding Trump's power grab, that is only possible because Congressional Republicans have abdicated their responsibility to check and balance his power.
The key thing is realising that the event has already happened. And start making plans. Think France 1940. Before most realised what was happening the collapse was complete.
I tried last night (with my Fox News watching father)
It didn't go well, though by the end he did say "well, I hope you're wrong", which is the best result I've ever gotten trying break him from the MAGA cult.

It's challenging.
Most people can't relate, or don't have the attention span.

What that means though is they are capable of much more destruction and will act with more careless disregard for democracy.
And a lot of people were ok with that because they sounded cool on Joe Rogan.
That was the defining criteria for the death of democracy in America.

Biden ended the right to Asylum - that's a Nazi policy.
He increased deportations.
He further militarised the police.
He presided over more police killings.
And there's the genocide of course...
But, yes, blaming Biden for Trump's power grab will help.
The promise to continue 70% funding and arming a live-streamed genocide didn't help at the polls either but you can't admit it, can you?

Being Nazi-lite is not the way to defeat Nazis at the polls.

Unfortunately I agree
