A coup is underway in the United States, and we must stop pretending otherwise. The signs are unmistakable and accelerating: in just the past 48 hours, Elon Musk’s DOGE commission has seized …
Part of the issue is that elites have already bought into the coup. You don’t eviscerate the US government without making sure the rich are on side first.
That’s why so many CEOs publicly made gestures of support for trump just before and after the election.
The only way to stop the fascists who already have control of the courts, the government and the rich would be mass mobilization of a significant % of the population, or a military counter-coup.
People voted for the coup. People were warned, they were told it would happen, it was all documented in writing, they had a fucking website with the “we are going to do a coup” plan. People had a beta version 4 years ago. People still voted for the coup. And if you look at the world outside of lemmy, people don’t care about the coup.
Less than 35% of the country voted for republicans in an election where PACs alone spent 5.6 billion dollars to lie and buy votes, and that doesn’t include the amount spent on election interference by us and foreign oligarchs.
The 30% who didn’t vote made a conscious decision, so I don’t buy the 35% argument. You could also say that less than 33% of the country expressed their disagreement when asked.
