@pixelpusher220 There's people in my life that fell into MAGA that totally surprised and shocked me. Some I did a mental recount in my head to see if it was on me to have missed the signs of who they really were. I am truly baffled at some.
I'm glad I was always a skeptic in what I was reading and seeing because I always delved one or two levels in on about everything. If something shocked my conscious, I delved deeper.
E RosalieTrump is suing Ann Selzer, the Iowan pollster whose poll was inaccurate. He has no legal standing to do so, but the point isn't to win. This is a concrete example of the types of lawfare that are part of autocratic decline, and it is only one of many examples from the past few weeks.

Three things commonly precede decline into a totalitarian state. 1) Crack down on journalists, researchers, civil society orgs. 2) Oligarchs align with and became synonymous with the government. Contracts are a reward for loyalty. 3) Capture of the courts and law enforcement Given enough time and complacency, thereâs a clear destination for this path. Itâs weird how many of your grandparents nearly died trying to escape what youâre looking dead in the eyes like âhow bad could it be?â

I think we have a true bipartisanship moment in the country. Many people across all political spectrums, all walks of life, all economic statuses, seem to agree that healthcare CEO's get what they deserve with all the dark and #gallowsHumor and stories about their horrible health insurance experiences.
Those reactions are now being analyzed by the same people that made a cottage industry of analyzing American elections in a manner to keep the analyzation of American politics a thriving business, and once again, with all their judgement on their holier than thou soapbox's.
