1. Resist how? What do you mean by "normal people"?

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. But the other side of that argument is to buy and stockpile because

the value of the dollar is going to plummet and inflation is going to explode.

3. Canned food and non-perishables at today's prices instead of next years....

and OMG, Toilet Paper! What if we can't get toilet paper??

I have a stack of Trump campaign literature which I stole off of people's front doors,
but that won't last long....



(never quite understood the panic over toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic,
which actually CAUSED the shortage... which caused ME to buy more than I would have.
I bought mine at Dollar Tree, which had no shortage....)

4. I love, love, love my bidet.

5. I'm not seeing any signs they are pissed

but I wouldn't include Governors in the category "normal people". To me that is the person going through the line at the grocery store with me.

6. Good point

I'm starting to see, post-grief, on my FB groups, anger and resolve forming. Esp among women.

[Johonny]

7. I think a lot of people are just numb

And planned to enjoy the final normal few months we will have . . . Maybe ever.

8. I hope to see more Dem govs

Warn Trump not on my watch.

[Initech]

9. My mourning phase is over. I'm now in the "extremely pissed off" phase.

And no, I will never accept it.

10. They won't be until it is too late

And then they will find a way to blame those they already hate.

11. I meant non-MAGAS

As this new horrifying reality sinks in, will growing anger galvanize Americans to fight the regime? I don't know frankly.

[misanthrope]

16. I consider non-voters to be complicit too

Of the 245 million eligible voters, only 58 percent chose to cast ballots. Regardless of the cause/excuses/rationalizations, that is 102 million who didn't care enough to save democracy or make a small effort to help those around them. Combined with the 73 million who actively cast votes for brazen insanity and criminality, that makes 175 million Americans who are in opposition to democracy.

Our species hasn't changed at all since the Roman Empire. Provide enough distraction, enough bread and circuses, suppress information and critical thought, and it won't be a challenge for the ruling order to remain in place until the bedlam from the increasingly chaotic and deadly ecosphere wipes away civilization altogether.

14. No, I mean non-magas

15. What makes you think those folks are MAGA?

a good portion pay lip service to Harris.

[Amishman]

17. Not seeing any sign of discontent outside of those I know to be politically active Democats

Coworkers for example don't talk politics and are acting like it's just another week.

18. My op was dumb

Shutting down
