Solutions

The only solutions to fascism
Will be found through suffering.

When the trumpers find out they didn’t get what they thought they were voting for and when theyl can’t afford to live, thier wife has a hard pregnancy and dies and they are stuck with 4 kids and no job , when they are living in fear of retribution… when they get abused by the system they voted for and they suffer personally and severely in large enough numbers then there may be a desire growing for a good society.

But not until the so called magats suffer personally for thier own choices and when they realize they can’t make your own reality because of the reality they live in. When thier lives are ruined…. When the status they thought they had is ripped away by becoming
Homeless, poor, living in fear, their kid gets taken away for suspect of being gay, a neighbor lies and says they are anti trump and they get beaten up on the way home.Thier wife has pregnancy complications and is charged with murder. Until they get hurt and are actually seeing people they know rounded up put in a camp or killed…they will come around when the reality they voted for kicks thier sorry asses to the curb .

They will be desperate for solutions then. Solutions that will stop the suffering but they will realize they have to fight together with other people they once scapegoated . ( if they are not true narcissists)They’ll be beaten down and humble by then and then they will dream of a good society.

The part that pisses me off the most is those of us who understand a good society is the only one worth having will also suffer at the hands of the people who thought they wanted a fascist society.
Until they suffer enough we have to suffer them.

And that is fucked up.

1. That's right. They never can empathize with others.

It has to happen to them before they understand the pain. There will be plenty of it going around.

Trump is busy consolidating his power.
Installing loyalists throughout the government.
Degrading and threatening the US military.

Gathering billionaires from around the world to bow down to him.
And fund him.

Yes our fellow Americans royally screwed us over.

4. But, as is their character, they'll blame the "others" for their own failings.

Not sure they really want "solutions" that meet the "others" needs. Just their own.
