"SNIP.....

Janan Ganesh: “The trend of events is not towards strongmen but towards ungovernability.”

......SNIP"

Applegrove: The right doesn't have any legislation or anything they want to make better. If we all become ungovernable the rich right wing elites win.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Exactly, because what do patriots do when Oklahoma puts a Woman in prison for

10 years for obtaining healthcare, as they just promised to do?

Nothing is not an answer.

[harumph]

2. Nobody wins in a failed state. We're all fucked.

It's just that the rich can pull up stakes and leave.

[Ocelot II]

3. Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.

It's gotten to the point where the slave states are trying to prevent women from traveling outside the state to get abortions, and the free states are telling them to fuck right off - refusing to provide information, extradite anybody, or otherwise cooperate in any way.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

4. Of which the right will use as an excuse for tyranny

[SheltieLover]

5. We need an enormous midtrrm turnout! Senate seats

[Solly Mack]

7. We definitely need to vote and I hope people do.

I'm angry and disgusted and I don't know that things will work out, but we can't give up. We must be vote.

[SheltieLover]

9. Same here, Solly!

[MustLoveBeagles]

10. +1

[MOMFUDSKI]

6. Must be

a numbers game.

[usonian]

8. It's exactly the Nazi Germany playbook

Normalize hate and violence.
Stochastic terrorism.
Bring down elected government.



Time shifted to the present day:

Read all 8 to get the "plan" in detail.

11. No, the "rich elites" want fascism not anarchy. n/t

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

12. Yes, but they will get anarchy first.

[PoliticAverse]

15. They would promote anarchy so the people call for and accept fascism. n/t

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

17. Do you think they NEED to promote it or is

anarchy the natural conclusion to people being pushed to the brink ? I find that as more and more good people feel that they are being marginalized, trivialized, intimidated and bullied, and excluded or dismissed that they will respond - eventually - with so much pent up frustration and fury that they can no longer contain the rage. At that point, they feel that there is nothing left to lose. How much insanity can one person tolerate before they find like-minded bretheren and plan to rebel ?

I feel like I am living in a powder keg any more. And I've developed a strong aversion to matches.

[PoliticAverse]

18. More so than anarchy actually, we seem to be breaking apart into 2 separate countries right now. n/t

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

20. It does feel that way.

Even where I live, in the Great Pacific Northwest, we have people so delusional, it boggles the mind.

I have a small Ukrainian flag attached to my sunvisor (on the passenger side). Some man, sitting next to me at the stop light lost his mind over this and verbally harassed me, then followed me for 15 miles, trying to intimidate me and run me off the road. It was terrifying. I don't want to live in fear, but this incident has stayed with me for weeks, jacking my anxiety into the stratosphere. I have tried to put the event out of my mind, but I find myself looking in the rearview mirror far more than I ever did before.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Anarchy is a stage in the development of tyranny...

Historically speaking, that is. A period of stress and uncertainty is generally followed by some form of strong man government.

Our emergence from the Revolution and creating a Republic is a historical anomaly.

[roamer65]

14. It's all riding on the midterm election now.

[GoodRaisin]

16. The rich right wing elites are legislating from the bench

and they are just getting started. They will undo a century of progress before they get done.

[dalton99a]

19. +1

21. Something law professor Barbara McQuade said the other day on MSNBC

She said that when a minority seizes power to dominate the majority, it’s something that simply cannot stand for long.

I agree, with the lawlessness of Trump and hypocrisy of the Supreme Court, this country is on it’s way to become ungovernable.
