Chris Hedges "Fascism in the Age of Trump"
Sorry but I cannot but believe that he is completely correct and if this isn't depressing then I don't know what is. I can only hope that I don't live to see it.

And as he points out, so have the democrats.
@rogerbenham Of course, all the bastards have their own debts to process through. What do we do, a revolution will not work as no one has a clear idea of what needs to be done or how to get there. To just start shooting would cause a blood bath and no one would be better off afterward. Thoughts?
@dalefvictor exodus the 2 party establishment and unite behind one of two good 3rd parties.
And please spare me the empty rhetoric of these parties can't win. They can win with support. We will never win with the establishment parties. The only way for us to win is to boot them out by taking over their system with new blood that has an ideology to advance us towards a new era and away from a failing agenda built for the oligarchs.
@dalefvictor I don't think that Hedges is advocating shooting. He seemed to me to be pressing for formations of groups demanding change and I agree with William_Mary that people should ditch the two main existing parties and create one that is diametrically opposed to neo-liberalism and the controlling oligarchs.
@rogerbenham I know he does not advocate shooting, I did not mean to say he did. It is just that with the mental state of some conservatives their second amendment rights come to the front. We have more guns than good sense to use them. Thoughts?

That is indeed the fear and the likelyhood.
