    This is the moment we can lose our republic. Nuts that it could be to MAGA morons.

      And nothing of value would be lost. In it’s ashes we could get an actual democracy built for the people, by the people.

        You seriously think it will lead to a rebuilt democracy, rather than a bloodthirsty fascist hellscape, followed by a multi-polar civil war and then periodic cycles of warlord rule, culminating with invasions by foreign adversaries? That’s cute.

        We’re about to get fucked like the countries we spent centuries fucking to get here.

          At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.

        Or something worse. Don’t assume that what you prefer would be built up as a replacement.

          It also completely ignores the millions of people that are going to be victimized, even if we rebuild a perfect society from the ashes (highly unlikely). I will never understand accelerationsts. They completely ignore some of the most basic values that progressives should have.
