It's not maga that allowed American Fascism to gain power. It was the self-appointed virtuous and genetically dimwitted who refused to vote. The former would jettison lifeboats on a sinking ship if they didn't like the co. that built them & the latter would deny drowning bc they've never done it.

I've been coming across more people who are placing increasing confidence in a Congress that's observably not doing anything. Few yelling justice into to wind, correcly, but the wind doesn't prosecute criminals. Change will only come through confrontation against injustice and a general strike.
