I just posted a 20-post thread that is not about sematics. It's about the practical changes you'd have to make if America were fascist RIGHT NOW.
It does not have footnotes. I appeal to myself as authority like the overbearing professor I once was.

This will be very painful to hear but all the grifters who enabled Trump, supported him, and elevated him for sake of personal gain will fail up.
Nothing will happen to any of them.
It's just how the town works, folks. They all fail up down here. They all protect each other and their own.

President Trump issued pardons to two people convicted of crimes stemming from the events of Jan. 6, 2021, but not directly tied to the attack on the Capitol, expanding the scope of the broad clemency he had already granted to those caught up in the prosecutions related to the riot.
Trump Pardons Two for Crimes Related to Jan. 6

By surrendering so utterly and completely at a moment of their maximum leverage and momentum, Senate Democrats taught Trump and his cadre an important lesson: Do enough damage and your opponents will buckle. Because of this surrender, our democracy is more imperiled now than it was before.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
