    I mean even people who were screaming didn’t think American democracy would start falling this quickly. I mean did you expect him to start arresting dissenters within a month and a half of his inauguration?

      Actually, yes. Absolutely. I read portions of P2025. I expected the insurrection act and martial law to happen by now, though. Not sure why it didn’t occur after the Hands Off demonstrations, except perhaps it would have meant more publicity and lent credibility to the opposition, which seems to have been intentionally ignored and marginalized by major media so far.

      The timeline of the Nazi takeover is public and very clear. The project 2025 details were public and very clear. It was more of a “I didn’t want to believe it” and not “who could have known” thing. Which is understandable but clearly not the same.

      Yeah straight up assumed this was going to happen pretty much as it has been, I’m not even a yank and this was so so very obviously going to be the outcome…
