Don’t worry, when @Mascot opens up the post election thread upon final confirmation of the result, @cynicaloldgit will be the first in there with a 200,000 word summary of the last three fucking days.

This was amazing to read. You lose faith initially reading it, but then regain it in spades. The depravity has been laid bare, but through covid and the election, so too has the courage and love of healthcare workers, grocery workers, volunteers, and so many others. It’s bad out there, but not all bad. And we have to hold on to to that with all our mights.
Thanks for the post, @Arminius.
YNWA seems important right about now.

Read it before. Read it again now. It is a decent article, much like this except written by someone with maybe a bit less expertise on Totalitarian and Authoritarian movements. I am actually about to begin to read his newest book on the Spanish Civil War. It has collected a bit dust the last few months.
Sadly this article is a super short version of Hagtvet’s lecture.
But again, no one with great expertise is calling him a fascist. He isn’t a fascist. Fascism is something else. You should also note that there is a major difference between being an authoritarian and actually establishing authoritarianism. The US is far from authoritarianism because the courts are not controlled by the government and it still has a constitution that makes establishing such a reign, impossible for now. No one has really argued that the US is authoritarian. Many have however argued that Trump is an authoritarian leader, and that is very different and not at all the same. Donald Trump clearly has an authoritarian mindset, but he isn’t the leader (soon to be thankfully gone) in an authoritarian state. The phrase enemy of the people is quite authoritarian indeed. Attacks on the press likewise.
Anyway, you can feel free to have another opinion if you so wish.
That is simultaneously the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen!

Trumpist GOP are the biggest snowflakes in history, which is hilarious given that their attack line tends to be to call liberals and others snowflakes.

Full ARBC treatment ! Initially, it will be hard to know if it is biological or chemical after all. And who knows about the radiological ? One can never be too safe…
Awesome

Yes, we have been. Like so often, you are correct, you grumpy conservative principled uncle that more Americans should listen to.
