       @statmonkey This feels like the logical progression of federalism, whose only purpose seems to have been to allow states to be fascist if they wanted. I’ve never understood why a citizen’s rights were allowed to be different depending on where in the country they are located. It defeats the purpose of being a nation, and allows a ridiculous level of chicanery.

       @arpcomics I really would like to argue with you but you are correct. It really is hard for me to see real change coming to this country with out , you know, real revolution.

       @statmonkey I can't say I'm pleased to be correct :/ I just don't know how we're really going to enact change when the structural hurdles (like the Electoral College, federalism, etc) are immense AND so much of our governing seemed to have been wholly dependent on the people being nice & cooperative with minimal accounting for bad faith actors.And while I am all for an active citizenship, the fascists know that it's highly improbably that we can vote in sufficient numbers to kick them to the curb. I'm worried that we're in slow motion death spiral.

       @arpcomics There's a lot here to unpack. I agree with you to some extent. I disagree that we can't enact change. I think a lot about Jefferson's tree of liberty needs pruning quote. The right has managed to maintain the status quo for 250 years without real change. Change will come, it always does. My concern would be that their greed and selfishness is out of control and when it does come it's going to be disastrous. It will not be a whimper but a roar most likely.
