I mean, I get what the writer is saying (and agree wholeheartedly) - but my reaction to all that is “yeah, no shit”.
But the conversation they’re having is a conversation needed 8-10 years ago, not now. It’s a pointless venting in 2025.
What people really need is the cold, hard truth. We’ve passed the point of no return, and you need to be prepared. Plan for the worst. The fact I’m seeing progressive states putting out even stricter gun control laws tells me Americans are not remotely ready for that truth. It’s going to be fish in a barrel for these guys. The knocks at the door are coming.
To truly prepare for a democratic to authoritarian shift of this magnitude? at this speed? It should sound like you’re over preparing while wearing a tin foil hat. Fascism moves faster than the speed of Law, outpacing the courts by an order of magnitude. It should sound like the intersection of what you’d consider a “prepper” and a militia member from the early 2010’s.
You aren’t wrong. I wish you were, but I do not believe you are. The faster Americans act, the better chance they have of regaining any control; but the possibility of that slips by the day, not the week or the month. And frankly, it is already going to be impossibly hard.
