At least in Margaret Atwood’s novel the radical religious terrorists used guns to overthrow our government.

In the real version we’re literally electing them to office. I feel that not enough folks read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

They’re taking over state and local legislatures, councils and boards.

Christian Nationalists and Dominionists are absolutely a threat to our democracy.

They’ve had this plan for decades and now they’re enacting it. This is a clear and present danger.

@bleakfuture I feel we are on a crash course for a dictatorship

@gavinisdie if we aren’t I’m not super sure how we end up avoiding it. 74 million people went out of their way to fully embrace it in 2020 and are showing zero signs of knowing better now.

That’s the scariest part. A whole hell of a lot of us are leaning into it. In the early days of the Nazi party I get it. Germany had been shoved around, disarmed and was grounded due to bad behavior. It’s natural to lash out.

Here things are honestly pretty damn good - and still they gnash their teeth.
