I was being lighthearted about watching my country fall to a fascist coup. I agree with your point.

It's rather surreal to watch this all happen -- the gaslighting, the racists crawling out from under their rocks, the blatant corruption, and the fomenting of hate amongst the populace. I think things are going to get a lot uglier before November, and after the election to get even worse.

We live in perilous times.
