Yeah one thing I've observed is Americans constantly complaining that Democrats aren't doing anything. There's a belief that the opposition party can somehow stop a party that controls all branches of government.

They can't. They no longer have power. Anything they do is completely performative. You're complaining about a performance in a meaningless play while the people in power are dismantling your country and destroying people's lives.

This is what Americans voted for. Didn't think their vote mattered but it really did.

'Relatively' doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Don't worry, one responsible billionaire will step in and put things right.

Anyone else have fantasies where aliens hover over the whitehouse?

If you pretend for a second this is a HoI4-like historical simulation, it'd be really interesting to see what the american dictatorship is going be like. Are we talking populist murder-happy forever-revolution? Shut-the-fuck-up-or-else secret police state? A digital surveillance state with never seen before levels of control? The suspense!

Alas, we live on this planet. Bummer.

Just because fascism was depicted in a video game doesn't mean it wasn't real.

If there's anything to fault games like HoI4 for, it would be that it doesn't really depict how bad fascism is, it's basically just choosing which team you're on and which buffs you'll get. I think the devs just expected people to know how bad it is from understanding history, but maybe people really do think of it like choosing a team.
