I like the part about no new spending is needed. Should we translate that to we will divert people looking into measles and covid to this?

      Yes, but with things like this, the current US government is actually trying to create a legal basis on which it can make undesirable people disappear. Just like the Nazis did in the Third Reich.

      It’s about establishing an unjust state with the corresponding legal means.

      I really think that plans are being made here to establish a dictatorship. There are many other signs of this.

          I’m from Germany and am only observing the situation from afar. Are there any efforts to prevent the US from becoming a fascist state?

          I know, of course, that people are taking to the streets and that this is not being reported adequately by the media. But what is the plan?

          In any case, there seems to be no serious resistance from the Democratic Party…

      Year 2785. The Tesla-built Trump-atons patrol the irradiated skyline of New America. The scorched remnants of what was once called Earth. Their red, white, and chrome exoshells glint beneath a sun filtered through atmospheric ash. “Nobody knew healthcare would be so complicated” can be heard over the speaker from it’s silver jowls.

      From beneath a collapsed monument to Elon, a stone shifts. A malnourished human, skin sun-leathered and trembling, crawls out wrapped in a faded Trans-Palestinian Soviet flag. Eyes cracked with age and dust, he whispers into the void:

      “Every accusation… is a confession.”

      “Trump-bots are racist.”

      “General strike.”

      Centuries-old resistance slogans, preserved like fossilized dog shit, echo into silence. No one hears him. No one cares because these are decades old slogans that never really packed a punch anyways and were never adapted over time or expanded on through content creation and memetic knowledge.

      In the shadow of the gutted White House, Lauren Ro-BoeBert 2.0 strokes patriotism behind a metal dumpster her servos sticky with Trump derangement.

      The world turns. The code loops. And somewhere, deep beneath the bedrock, a spark of humanity retreats back to its lemming like hole beneath New America.
