I am so sorry for what is happening to the US from Australia. Those of us who are politically aware are absolutely horrified although we have our share of right wing crazy.
It must be awful waking up thinking you are on earth 2.0. When the other half of your country just blissfully carry on thinking it will be all ok.

It sounds like the handmaids tale except it's less the Christian nationalists and more power hungry dangerous tech rich people.
Surely at some point buyers remorse will kick in for those trump voting everyday citizens.... betrayal even?
Nope....after watching the J6th attack on Congress and the Law all of them were reprogrammed. In the end very few Republicans stayed home or voted for Kamala Harris. They are more interested in demolishing the Democrat enemy. I believe the US is headed to a "cold" civil war like Northern Ireland had in the Troubles 1960's through 1990's only we are a nation with 10's of millions of military style weapons in private possession.
The Christian nationalists are playing a big part in the purges and impounding of funds, the sabotaging of medical & scientific research, the performative deportations, the efforts to bring the media to heel, and the obsessive hostility to LGBT people. Their numbers are greater than the tech bros, and they've got more of the MAGA base with them, but the tech billionaires have other advantages. If the two factions start squabbling, that will be good for the rest of us.
