Instant death or continue the slow descent. I, of course, will be voting for slow descent but what the fuck ever. This country is fucked this planet is fucked let's just get high and play video games while we still have electricity.
It's the same argument against the death penalty: you can stop imprisonment/slow descent and turn it around. You can never come back from death/fascism.
To be fair, that's not really true for fascism. It doesn't usually end peacefully and almost never easily, but historically it certainly has come to an end in various places in various ways. I'm not saying this to say that it's somehow okay, but rather that should it come to pass, people should not give up trying to thwart it.
I don't know of any fascist countries that escaped fascism by themselves. They all had to be beaten. That's what I was referring to in part, and the rest being that a fascist takeover is the death of the government and country. Whatever comes after Mayt not be recognizable from before.
Hm, I think South Africa might be a contender. Apartheid was ended by a white prime minister and then Nelson Mandela was peacefully allowed to be elected.
Spain did. Though only when Franco died of heart failure
Same with Portugal.
But the ditador also had to basically become physically incapable before that happened but it was a different time than before. That being said idk if being a different time is better or not in that sense.

OR America's hat!
North America's hat, the arctic ice cap?
"ice cap" 😂🙏
I meant Canada but that was perfect
Canada doesn't look like clothing though!
America is Canada's shorts. Florida's the dong.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I predict that Europeans will look upon the drawn-out and comedic campaign with smug disdain and self-satisfaction... and proceed to explain away their own increased support for right-wing nationalism and fascism. One day, we will all wake up and realize that we dun goofed but it's too late.
Hey, don’t forget about Canada!
Canadans are honorary Europeans
Honorary Europeans but also honorary Americans. Our labour rights are more in line with the US than with Europe.
But where does Canada stand on kinder surprise eggs?
Since we have a partially socialized healthcare system, there's no concern about going broke due to choking on kinder eggs.

More than one trump supporter will die in a snow drift.
Trump will win Iowa, but lose the nomination to Haley (as his legal peril grows), who will lose to Biden.
Trump supporters will react violently to the loss and eventual conviction of Trump in multiple spasms of bloodshed.
They too will end up in prison, alongside J6 convicts.
The rich still won't be taxed, and the climate will continue to warm and destabilize.
The sea will become too warm to support normal ocean currents like the gulf stream, destabilizing the entire food chain as aquaculture collapses.
Someone will invent a new kind of food called a quantum chalupa, and it will be glorious.
HP will increase prices for ink.
Someone will invent a new kind of food called a quantum chalupa, and it will be glorious
Surely it's commonly called a qualupa
only when measured in qualupa bits
It's fucked up that this is the best case scenario
It's made of people!!!!
Kinda wishing I could just go into a coma for the next 11 months ngl
why not forever? /lh
Yeah don't wake me up until after WWIII, but early enough that I can still witness the invention of warp drive and first contact with the Vulcans. #bozeman2063 hell yeah baby
Forever it is!
Trump will win the nomination. But he will have to campaign from prison for the general. And will lose.
I think there’s a good chance he won’t make it on enough state ballots to have a chance to win.
You only need 12 states

I don't need to open this link to know he can't win most of the most populous.
That's far more likely to be a map for Biden's win than Trump. It's not a likely map, but it is more likely.
That it’ll remain a hellhole devoid of intelligent life
A shitshow
I predict nonsense
!remindme idk a couple of months?
Riots and mass hysteria, also extreme tax fraud
Dogs sleeping with cats!
The old demented dude is going to win
NO NO NO NO NO
Thanks for reminding me to set up some extra filters to block out all the hyperventilating yank headlines.
Haha I had already done so but I have added “presidential” to the list.
