Yea... uhhh. I have no happy thoughts on any of this, to be frank. We kind of need a miracle? Historically speaking, though - we are looking at what any other population saw as they went from democracy to dictatorship. Not much comfort in that. All I have been doing is building curated news sources in RSS and getting to know friendly decentralized communities. The sooner I can get off the Meta based socials, the better. Also, I have been reading about past dictatorships. I'm learning about the Nicaraguan one right now. Lot's of parallels. The one silver lining, I guess, is - after a while most dictatorships turn thier own supporters.... violently. Yay?
