Literal Fascists: *literal coup*
Dems: *do nothing*
Non-dems who give a fuck: “wtf are you doing? Nothing? I guess we have to protest and riot”
Polls: “everyone hates fascists and wants them stopped”
Dems: “we did it! Donate now or else.”

Being a good soldier who avoided public criticism of Democrats appears to have brought us to a fascist takeover of the USA. I desperately need the Democrats to be better so we actually survive this.
