    All this is moot. There is no party that will be able to wrest power away from the GOP come January. Yet still there will be fools putting all their hopes in the effectively powerless DNC.

      Consider the possibility that resistance against fascism (and other totalitarians) never happens through established parties. The fascists are like termites: the edifice already has to be rotten before they can get established. Where dictators and illegitimate regimes are forced out, it has involved people getting out in the street. Established parties never lead, they only follow.

      Yeah, we’re coming into a pretty horrible timeline. I’d have preferred the one where the Brooks Brothers Riot failed. But that ship has long sailed.

      This timeline is going to be an authoritarian nightmare with random high points where some rich asshole is murked by an Adjustor copycat.
