    Nothing gonna happen while people have food in their bellies and TV to watch.

    Americans don’t care enough about their rights or their democracy to put a stop to rising fascism. They’re gonna have to suffer more first. Sucks that it had to come to this, but that’s what happens when a nation doesn’t take education seriously enough.

      and TV to watch.

      I think the internet, and social media in particular, play the bigger part here. People talk online and feel like they’ve done something about it. In most cases, they have not, but now they’re not going to go out and protest and be angry somewhere in most cases.

      That’s true for most places during a fascist take over. Most humans just want to be left alone to live their life.
