(8 posts)Kamala Harris warned us about all of it. 75,000,000+ of us listened and voted accordingly.
77M voted based on 24/7 radical right propaganda spewed by fascists, and either ignored P2025 or embraced it.
89M people didn't seem to care at all, and didn't vote.
So, we have a majority ignorant / uninformed electorate who have chosen a regime that seeks to turn us into a technofascist dictatorship, or at the very least, an oligarchy. We have seen this before. With Coolidge and then Hoover, we had the same ingredients: pandemic, economy hurting, blaming of immigrants for economic issues, tariffs implemented, and the robber-barons of the time turned it all into the "Gilded Age" of the Great Gatsby era.
Once wealth inequality and speculation reached a point where almost no one could afford to buy anything, it all fell apart in the Great Depression.
We will have to fight our way out of this current attempt to repeat that ugly history, and the sooner we do, the better for all of us.
