Trump’s prosecution of Rep. LaMonica McIver may be the most anti-democratic thing he’s done since January 6.

    Well, if we talk about it here we get banned. I also think a lot of people just assume it’s all going to blow over.

      “here” as in !news@lemmy.world ? I don’t know, I often say it out loud and haven’t been banned yet. But I rarely look back at which community I commented in.

            So what’s your solution? More protesting?

            If you haven’t noticed, ZERO efforts to curb fascism have worked in 2025.

            My guess is that you’re not all that upset about it.

                So if you don’t have suggestions, just stay out of it. Sit back and let whatever happens happen.

      Really? This is exactly what we should all be talking about especially after that last anti-1A, anti-Bill of Rights executive order.
