Jesus H. Christ. A Very American Autocracy is careening towards us in broad daylight and we’re just going to let it happen. If Trump doesn’t implement “Schedule F,” then it will be a President DeSantis. (Or name a would-be Republican autocrat.)
I suppose the reason why Schedule F weighs on my mind so much is it’s a concrete fascist move on Trump’s (or whomever) part. It’s something I can point to and say, “Yep, that’s fascism. That’s A Very American Autocracy right there.”
Fascism in the United States is no longer an abstract. We now know what it will look like and how, specifically, Trump or someone like Trump will implement it. And, as I keep saying, this is not an abstract to me!
I’m a loudmouth crank who could very well easily cross the autocrat at some point in the future when I get drunk and rant about how much President DeSantis can suck my cock. The shift into autocracy will be so abrupt, so without notice that I’ll just be going about my business being a drunk crank then someone will turn me in and that will be that.
I’ll good poof! and, at best, I might hope to have my name etched in a monument to the disappeared at some point in the future. This is all very concrete for me. At the moment, at least, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have the funds to just leave the country like all the fucking Twitter liberals will do.
Ugh.
And, to think, we all will know about Schedule F waiting to be implemented and we’re not going to do a fucking thing to stop it happening.
