Yeah, America is in the midst of a fascist coup .... the question is not if or when it is happening (it's already started) .... the question is when the people will react to it to stop it or let it all just fester and go on until it's way too late to do anything about it all.

The latter. They think they can still vote their way out of fascism in 2026 and 2028. Until they experience a famine caused by the GOP and oligarchs running the economy into the ground, people are not going to be pissed off enough to do anything of consequence.

The bread and circuses is still going strong in the US.

(Un)fortunately not enough people across the country have personally experienced severe negative consequences yet. I give it like 6 more months (optimistically) until it gets bad enough for everyone to start mobilizing.
