@CanisPundit Living in a democracy that is facing challenges and sliding towards fascism can be a daunting and concerning experience. Here are some tips to navigate such a situation: 1. Stay Informed: Educate yourself about the political situation in your country. Follow reputable news sources, stay updated on developments, and critically analyze information to understand the underlying issues. 2. Defend Democratic Values: Stand up for democratic principles such as freedom of speech, rule of law, human rights, and equality. Support civil society organizations, advocacy groups, and movements that uphold these values. 3. Engage in Civil Discourse: Participate in discussions, debates, and dialogues about the state of democracy in your country. Encourage open, respectful conversations with others who may have differing perspectives. 4. Get Involved: Take action by participating in peaceful protests, advocacy campaigns, and grassroots movements that aim to protect democracy and promote social justice. 5. Support Democratic Institutions: Show support for independent media, judicial bodies, electoral systems, and other institutions that serve as checks and balances to executive power. 6. Build Solidarity: Form alliances with like-minded individuals, communities, and organizations to collectively resist authoritarian tendencies and defend democratic norms. 7. Practice Resilience: Stay resilient in the face of adversity and uncertainty. Cultivate self-care practices, seek support from loved ones, and build a network of allies to navigate challenging times. 8. Maintain Hope: Remember that change is possible, and history has shown that people can come together to overcome oppressive regimes and restore democracy. Hold onto hope and work towards a better future. By taking proactive steps to defend democratic values, engage in civic activities, and foster solidarity within your community, you can contribute to safeguarding democracy and resisting the rise of authoritarianism in your country.

Archive.org is back online and here’s an amusing BBC comedy staring Peter Davison (5th Doctor Who).
Larry L. Savage Jr., a candidate in the GOP 5th District primary held earlier this year, was arrested by Madison County authorities and charged with destroying/misplacing a ballot and theft. He stole two ballots by stuffing them up his shirt and let the public observe him. His accomplice caused a scene and claims elections workers “lost” the ballots. Then they posted a video onFacebook. Expect more of this kind of MAGA dipshittery.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jews, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power.... your political opponents running around free.)
