  • because America is so far right it’s reshaped the Overton window

    You’re definitely spot on about that! Overton window has been dragged completely off of the right side deep end in USA. Democrat politics are in fact considered conservative in most other parts of the world.

    Conservatives in the US (eg, far right extremists) have tried to subvert the term “progressive,” similarly to what they did with “socialist,” and pin it on Dems as if it’s some kind of pejorative admonishment. I don’t think Dems are very progressive at all, they couldn’t even be bothered to do things like increase the minimum wage, pass paid family leave, or codify roe, during the times they had power to do so.

    imho progressive = leftist, dem = center right, and repug = authoritarian fascist, to align more fully with global political spectra. However, many of my fellow Americans might disagree with that characterization.









  • Sure, here is a way forward:

    1. Recall all democratic congressmen where state laws permit it, and replace them with those who are poised to act.
    2. primary the rest to set the stage in ‘26
    3. impeach, and dig into the myriad financial crimes and ties to Russian money this time.
    4. convict

    This is the proper democratic means, if that even matters anymore.

    I think a far more effective method would be several million of us marching on the capitol in DC. Trump obviously senses this threat is drawing nearer, which is why he has given bondi and hegseth powers to stage the military against civilians in partnership with the police. In this scenario I believe it will be over for the Trump regime, whether or not the military decides to act on these unconstitutional orders.
