    no graceful transition is opted for

    transition to what, exactly? i think people might have vastly different opinions about this, so it’s not easy to just go to a new thing

    Instead they follow the same route as all the empires of old, increasing violence and desperation practically guaranteeing hatred and reprisal when they are crippled and broken.

    When you are about to die yourself, do you just let it happen or do you struggle and try to fight against it?

      Fighting back against fascism is great, but fighting for a slightly more benevolent form of fascism won’t get you anywhere. You really think the Dems will abolish ice if they get Trump out if office?

        The only problem Dems see with ICE is their lack of training. If they ever get back in control, they’d increase ICE funding under the guise of getting them better trained.
