  • This is a huge reach and false equivalency. There is a difference between being a pop culture focus of a moment where you’re mom was compelled to volunteer at his local election office and wear a button versus the maga bullshit that OP describes.

    No. It’s never been to this level, or close for that matter. Not because a candidate didn’t want it, but because society maintained a basic level of decency and civil education that made today’s depths impossible at scale really. Of course a huge focus of the last 50 years for Republicans has been denying access to and attacking public education to help form the undereducated and easily frightened mass that they now use to support trump. And then social media feeds and predatory news algorithms were probably the nail in the coffin to break that once held floor of civility.

    Not on the same scale as trump, but there was an American Nazi party and there’s the kkk. Those are probably your closest analogies in this country.









  • Initiate special prosecution to investigate all of the former leader’s administrative state, changes made to law and the country’s oligarch class. Maybe based on Nuremburg trials structure, likely world experts on this type of investigation/prosecution brought in from outside of the country.

    Negotiate immediate ceasefire with Ukraine, establish a council to fund and return Ukrainian children to Ukraine, restore land borders to pre-Russian invasion (at least), establish restitution to rebuild cities and support the people.

    Demolish all levels of media censorship and open access to all information.

    Tell China and North Korea that were no longer friends and publicly announce to donald that his last resort hidey hole is now closed, unless he wants the underground hitler suite complete with loaded gun, gas can and matches.

    When all this is done, or far enough along to feel like it can complete, New democratic elections held for every seat of government, including my own. In strategic waves to preserve stability.
