       I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that. It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #BrazilWhat the Rioters in Brazil Learned From Americans-https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/brasilia-riot-bolsonaro-lula-trump/672677/

       @TonyStark Well said Tony. We definitely need to push for more organization at all levels. People seem to forget that local elections, even at the school board level, impacts everyone. Besides organizing and all doing our part, the ‘adults in the room’ (like Garland et al.) need to hurry it up! I understand they need to have all their i’s dotted and t’s crossed, but I’m really frustrated and concerned about the amount of time trump and his co-conspirators have had to do more damage!

       @TonyStark It would help if our media would stop referring to McCarthy’s House members as “Moderates”. A huge chunk of their caucus voted against certifying the election. Even before that, for decades they have been engaged in extreme racial gerrymandering. I am sick of hearing Nancy Mace complain about the extremists in her party when she owes her seat to an antidemocratic seizure of power via racial gerrymandering as recently proven in court. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/01/06/South-Carolina-Congress-District-gerrymandered/9931673029886/

       @TonyStark What a bunch of faggotry, "democracy" is just mob rule and has nothing to do with "freedom" and/or "liberty".

       @TonyStark  Part of that organizing should include studying the Fascism that DeSantis brought to FL.  Media matters. We need to effectively convey DeSantis’ hateful, freedom-killing deeds to Floridians and all Americans. Plaster the awfulness everywhere. Too many people don’t yet grasp how dangerously close we are to losing democracy.

       @DidiQ @TonyStark Thing is do we do this on here where rational discussion,  statements backed by actual evidence is welcome.  If you post ideas to mainstream social media you end up being trolled by those who just want to spread their hate.If you want to educate the majority how do we do this?, as it needs a change of mindset where you watch news from different sources, read different websites / newspapers, magazines, journals and understand how clickbait, algorithms are used to manipulate people.

       it's a variant of "right makes might" based on volume rather than margin
