⧖ @christineburns@mastodon.greenThe "slowly at first" slide was the last 35-40 years in the US -- possibly even longer. But, as the fascists now feel empowered to run around in public and drag away dissenters at their rallies, the "all at once" stage is definitely now in full swing. Don't make the mistake of relying on the old order -- liberal laws and politicians and the fourth estate -- to put the genie back in the bottle. There will be no term limits. There will be no free elections. No 'checks and balances'.

The biggest mistake ever
Right after World War II, The USA started the internationalization and outsourcing of its production. At first, this development was slow, but after 20 years it resulted in the stagnation of the USA's middle class.(from 1970 and onward) Resulting in the upper class becoming richer and richer and "blue collar" workers sinking toward survival level. The USA remained the role model of international business, and politicians followed suit. It is/was a mistake that repeats the collapse of both classic Greece and the Roman Empire!
