Americans have been told there is a crisis every fucking presidency for decades. Every election is the most important. Everything is a cultural fight. The president declares some form of emergency every fucking year to disallow certain laws to trigger since the early 90s. And we’ve seen how the electoral college steals elections.
We’ve been staving off fascism for
decades, so yes, every election has been a crisis. If you’ve only been paying cursory attention, it may have sounded like we’ve been crying wolf, but if you actually looked up from your daily tasks and paid attention, you’d have seen the actual wolves circling the village.
Now their plotting has paid off and they’ve breached our perimeter. Unfortunately, it’s harder to do something now the wolves are savaging the villagers. Instead of being annoyed with the people who called this and still saying we shouldn’t have raised the alarm, maybe finally join the efforts to do something about it.

Benjamin Franklin was asked what type of government the Constitutional Convention adopted, and he said: ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’
