This is partially right but really the issue is non voters. There are a lot of sexist and racist people that won't vote for a black woman but will vote for a white man.
I really don't have any hope for humanity. Whether we kill ourselves from global warming or nuclear war it ends with the same result. It's too depressing to actively worry about. Better to live in the moment and ignore things I can't control.
Hopefully we will have another election but somehow I think the military and policing agencies will be turned against the general population. The first step will be removing Congress, both senate and house, and using violence to enforce it while restricting free speech and freedom of the press. Then the imprisonment of political dissenters in modern day concentration camps. After the consolidation of power is complete and free speech is truly restricted America as it was will be gone. I expect a civil war during this transition, and while that happens China, Russia, and India will all make moves to expand, with wars erupting throughout the world.
Our only hope is if the military truly believes the oaths they swore, to serve the us constitution. But really I'm not holding out to hope for that.
- waiting for a chance to elect the least shitty candidate every 4 years is how you got into this mess.
  If we don't organize and start taking direct action then nothing will change.
  People need to join organizations in their community or labor unions and begin to directly sabotage the conservative agenda. General strikes should be something that the American left are actively planning right now.
  Don't sit down, stand up
  
  Right. If we’re organized we can cripple this shit in week. Don’t need guns. All we would need to do is withhold our labor. Put our hands in our pockets, call in sick. If nothing is functioning all of a sudden we have our power back.
