I refuse to let cynicism make me bitter..
I will continue to do what I can to make the world better, even if it is in tiny steps. Cynicism improves nothing. I will not let a quest for perfection sour my optimism. I will recognize that incremental positive changes are preferable to negative changes.
Then get away from the DUmp.

There's only one way a DUmmy can make the world better.
Die.

Life will grind you up and make you bitter, like old coffee grounds...if you let it.
Or, life can polish you up and make you better, like pebbles in a rock polisher...if you let it.

157. You are correct actually but not precisely for the reasons you think
we already have the markers of a police state. The words "we are in a police state" were actually used by a lawyer last Thursday, in a local San Diego Court, during his arguments during a local case involving California criminal code 182.5
Large media in San Diego, for the most part, has not gone in utter detail on how this criminal code works, but the DA has decided not to refile after the Court handed it to her again. Why? Well, large and small media are covering this, and the community became really united.
Anyhoo, this lawyer was talking about how increasingly people are getting quite a bit of liability for exercising their freedom of association and speech. Granted, right now it is the people none pays attention to, but this is how shit like this is tested. At the edges of society.
Gets better. have you ever read Democracy Inc? If you have not, I recommend you do. You are correct, this is not classic fascism, but it is a form of totalitarianism. I know some folks like to taught it up, but it started to take form in the 1980s, and it has not turned around yet.
This is also why this morning I had the exclusive for a news story involving the effects of NAFTA, in front of the Mexican consulate. You might have heard of San Quintin and strawberries, or perhaps more likely, you have not. I posted an article here but I simply do not expect most people in DU, even those who are about 170 miles from those fields to care. Last Saturday it got even worst, when police assaulted people for daring to demand better wages, living conditions, and chiefly respect. Though I did get clarification on where the three dead came from. None died, but three were unconscious and bloody after they were hit by rubber bullets on the side of their heads. For some reason they were unconscious and not moving. It happens. 70 others were injured as well though.
Don't worry, you will not see that on CNN, though if that assault by police forces had occurred in Caracas, CNN would have gone full on breaking news. (They kind of trailed in Mexico, but they tend to do that anyhoo)
That is also a marker of a Totalitarian state.
Will Bernie, let's dream big for a second, be able to reverse it? I don't believe so, but at least he is willing to try, The rest, well the past is prologue. Why I achieved that state of zen a while ago... it really does not matter who you vote for. As long as you do it to remain in practice that is. Because right now it really does not matter in the large picture. When I was 18 and voting for the first time in Mexico City, we knew that. Well, I am back to that state of zen.
Yeah, voting for republicans means that road to hell is going on the the fast lane, but the others, it is the slow lane.
But you are right to chuckle, this is not classic fascism. You are very correct on that one.

Dirt-poor Mexican berry pickers are apparently our responsibility now.

When libs like nadin complain about policies that their idols pass(like NAFTA by Clinnochio) I disregard everything all after.
Come to think of it if it's a lib I disregard all after.
