Fascism isn't sustainable, at least not how Trump and Elon are doing it. I'm not saying this in a Pollyanna toxic positivity way, that's just looking at facts. It's ugly, and it will be uglier. We have a bunch of people who have no idea run a government facing a food crisis, a recession, several possible epidemics, and, of course, the undeniable climate crisis. That's the short list. The question is how do we stop as much suffering as possible. Not will Trump be stopped, but how quickly can it be done.
@RickiTarr it can't be emphasized enough that the idea of ruthlessly efficient fascists as depicted in fiction is just repeating their own propaganda
historically these guys have been very destructive but not actually good policy makers
@waitworry @RickiTarr It helps to have a look at Hitlers highest priority megalomania pet projects.
@waitworry @RickiTarr Sadly, the phrase “At least Mussolini made the trains run on time” was written before we invented “/s”
