I ran out of outrage about two months ago.
- That was likely the plan. Gl
  
  you have to find balance. the holocaust survivors who taught me how to resist an authoritarian taught me you absolutely must rest, take time to take care of yourself and your family, and mourn your losses. but that period of rest must never be forever. you can't survive if you simply choose to wait it out. but you also can't survive if you break yourself fighting back early in the fight
  
  This message should be sent to every US resident each morning.
  
  everyone everymorning everywhere, tbh. even if your world does not feel authoritarian today, it can tomorrow with just one charismatic power hungry sicko. they export their allies when their form of fascism dies off in a place. the nazis survived via operation paperclip. the neoliberal fascists that defined the last era of the century in our country were sent to Ukraine to "help" them. when the era of MAGA ends, their mid ranking terrorists will go to some other humanitarian disaster inflicted by one of the imperial powers that exists as their neighbor. always the host country welcomes them gladly because they're on the brink of total devastation, but always these exports are snakes waiting to bite.
  when we the people are finally free, it will be because our inheritors figured out what we could not: there is no useful nazi. war is how they survive. they convince you you must give them some amount of power to thwart their allies at your gates. the only true cure for nazism comes from rejecting them from society entirely and never allowing them to form their own elsewhere.
  nazism is too dangerous to let survive.
  
  You're right. Scarily. I can't forget that despite a recent (relative) win I can't stay complacent even as Canadian.
  
  Letters at the beginning of a sentence get capitalized and this makes it easier to read. You must have missed that day in school; it is like the fucking plague with you.
  
  If semi-poor grammar in an interlocutor's message is enough to distract you from said message's meaning, then you are a miserable person, both alone and around others.
  Let's not be grammar Nazis when conversing about real Nazis, maybe?
  
  it's my personal style. i'm not going to change it. i do it to honor someone
  
  I'm a stickler but jfc
  
  who cares
  
  of all the issues with how people type online, this is the one you take enough issue with to comment?
  
  Not cool man. It's the Internet
  
  Nah, the problem with the residents of the US is most think they can rest forever and someone else will do thework.
  
  i call it sleepwalking. the worst part is the most dangerous sleepwalkers think they're awake
  
  It’s like running an engine at redline forever. It’s not sustainable. Something’s gotta give.
  
  That's his exact plan. At some point you have to tune out and focus on your own life, and he'll still be there, just less visible and thus more dangerous.
  
  As if there’s any way to escape his stupid ass. The least political things in the world are talking about him. He’s unavoidable and he likes it that way.
  It’s more like the earpieces in Harrison Bergeron that keep you from having a complete thought.
- Okay, now that you're past the initial outrage stage and able to think with a clear, focused head about this emergency, what action are you going to take?
  (Unless you're not from the USA in which case my apologies)
