Hey America. Like what the fuck is going on?
Exactly what it looks like.
A violent, racist, fascist movement has risen to power and controls the world's largest economy and military and stockpile of nuclear weapons.
Our (Im fucking trapped here) government is actively threatening external invasions, actively enacting economic warfare against other nations, and actively repressing its own people.
4th Reich, with American characteristics.
Which were borrowed from Nazi characteristics, which were borrowed from Confederate army characteristics, which were borrowed from the KKK movement, etc.
It's a big circle jerk of fascism for hundreds of years that won't fucking die, because we keep taking the fucking high road against fascists instead of lining them up against walls.
If its any consolation, the last time I encountered a guy with a MAGA hat, the following happened:
MAGA bro decides to pick a fight with what I can only describe as the most Rasta man I've ever seen.
MAGA bro has 2 bros with him... the Rasta man has the entirety of the Capitol Hill District of Seattle.
This doesn't go well for MAGA bro, Rasta man ends up flipping his hat off into the middle of the street as basically 30 other people are ready to throw down with the MAGA bros, chasing them down the block.
Rasta man is furious, picks up the hat and walks across the street toward me, who happens to be smoking a cigarette, gets to me and a few others, 'Can you believe this shit? You saw all that yeah?'
... I have a zippo, and was outside of the smoke shop... to purchase lighter fluid.
I show the zippo and the fluid to the Rasta man, he smiles ear to ear, 'You know what to do!', throws down the hat, and I burn it to nothing inside of a plot of dirt that used to have a sidewalk tree.
... One of the couple of times in my life random people unironically called me (and Rasta man too of course) a hero.
