First a convicted felon as President, the way lgbtq people are treated, the rich controlling the media, constant warfare "for the good", and also taking advantage of third-world counties, ie nestle
Edit
It really does seem like it's turning into fascism
I don't believe that we'll ever know precisely why and how this happened. However, my best guess is that the general public is uneducated and brainwashed by the media.
This one depends on which state you live in.
This one has been going on for a long time. My best guess is that the rich and powerful want to become more rich and powerful.
The billionaire oligarchs that are profiting from this have to paint it as such to get all the young people to participate.
The oligarchs are diseased dragons lying atop mountains of gold (see J.R. Tolkien). They don't care about the earth or any life on it. The bottom line for them is power/money.
So, why aren't more citizens trying to change this?
For a non-violent option: Go to a rally or protest or something, yell for actual change. Talk your voice hoarse about injustice.
In the good ending, you sat there for a week, maybe were given weak platitudes from your target, and dispersed, went back to work, and were forgotten.
In the bad ending, you were called a disrupter, a terrorist, forced under militarized police order to disperse or have your life fucked up. Maybe you break under the pressure, maybe the situation devolves into a riot. You’ll never be taken seriously again.
For a violent option, look at the recent CEO thing. But even then, look at how disproportionately “justice” is dispensed. Because the victim was one of the elite, the case is being handled very differently than if a lowly serf killed another. An example must be made, of course.
