I’m perplexed and terrified that so many US Americans are still expecting democratic structures to fix this. If (and that’s a big IF) the world makes it to the US mid-terms, do you really think it will go down as usual? What makes you think that? What makes you think you can wait for two years and then this will be suddenly better it over? The likelihood of successfully stopping this will only shrink from now on. Fast.
Okay, what do you suggest? If by "democratic structures" you mean the voting system, I do expect it to fix this because that's how it works.
If you're saying everything's over, it's all bullets and bombs from here (or whatever it is you're saying - I don't know what that is) then what's the plan?
The longer people remain in denial about the reality of the situation, the harder it gets to fight it.
I may or may not be in denial about the "reality fo the situation" - could you kind of spell it out for me?
