It's just a matter of time. Fascists are not kind to their neighbours.

Correlation vs causation.
You could say "we became the most powerful nation in the world with leaded gasoline and asbestos". They were around at the same time too.
The fury has reached finger waggling and strongly worded letter writing levels again.
how are they winning?
Because the American people haven't stood up to stop them yet.
Dear American people. Please stand up and stop them. It's your democracy at stake.
The first step to any of these things is explaining to me how we break Americans out of their complacent stupor. And honestly, the only way I can think to do that, is to wait for things to get much much much worse. Not until people are literally fighting for their survival will they be willing to do much of these things.
I think this is true too. People are too fat and comfortable and lazy to bother. It's going to get so much worse to get them to wake up. Hopefully it won't be a loved one getting dragged off by the gestapo to convince them to resist.
Defeatism has never changed a thing.
Well enjoy your death camps then since there's clearly nothing to be done.
I always thought Americans would at least TRY to save their democracy. But making excuses is easier.
Tell us how to fight back against one of the most highly militarized police forces in the world and the most powerful army in the world?
Afghani peasants did it. The Iraqis did it. The Vietnamese did it.
You never fight an enemy on their terms. The military control the guns. American civilians control EVERYTHING ELSE. Authorities can only be in one location. Citizens are everywhere.
Organize.
Block roads. Obstruct government and commerce. Hit infrastructure. Dump manure in the streets like the French. Stop garbage pickup. Bring society to its knees.
If those nations I mentioned can do it then surely the "home of the brave" can too.
The most vocal anti-LGBT+ try to convince others, but mostly they're trying to convince themselves.
