Trump seizing D.C. when crime is at a 30-year low isnโt about safety โ itโs about the Epstein files.

I am begging y'all to stop calling the militarization of a major city a "distraction".
If *YOU* would rather think about Epstein--- and not about the forced mass displacement of human beings--- then just say that.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic or a doomer. I'm just describing reality as I see it compared to similar countries that have gone through this process. We missed our window to get out of this and democracy is gone and won't be back under the current system.
11.08.2025 13:29 โ ๐ 198 ๐ 13 ๐ฌ 12 ๐ 0I don't see any way back from this. They're winning at consolidating all the levers of power under Trump and then using it to bend the culture and media to his will. It's succeeding and no one is putting up enough of a meaningful fight. Current efforts are arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
11.08.2025 13:29 โ ๐ 196 ๐ 15 ๐ฌ 4 ๐ 2Between the redistricting and new census plans, it's clear they are stacking the deck in such a way that Democrats can no longer win control of congress or the presidency. That's not even taking into account the coming attacks on Dem campaign finance infrastructure such as ActBlue.
11.08.2025 13:29 โ ๐ 157 ๐ 20 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0I know it's unpopular to say but Trump's authoritarian consolidation is succeeding, mostly because of cowardly institutions. We're effectively past the point of no return and life will increasingly become dictated by Trump and the federal government. Democracy is lost for at least a generation.
