My country [View all]

I can’t believe how fast a country has become pro-fascist. I know about the polls, but tRump and Miller don’t give a shit. When the mustache got elevated he had only 40% or less.
We have armed militias kidnapping people, the Fourth Amendment is dead, SCOTUS said it’s alright to randomly stop and frisk people.
I’m of the belief that martial law will be called and elections cancelled.
All the big money corporations still back him 100%.

But what gets me is we have no way out if he just goes full fascist and declare himself above the law.
