It seemed to me that pausing as much of a fascist takeover as we can would be a good thing. Why continue the takeover if the services shutdown effects are going to be cut permanently?

Nahhh I'm not messing up my opportunity. Im going back in time and giving John Brown kamakazi drones just before he gets to Harpers Ferry.

Dems wouldn't dare stand in the way of fascism I suppose.

When you can get convicted of scores of felonies and still receive no punishment I don't think you'd care about any laws. All levels of the system have proven themselves unwilling to impose any kind of consequences to him, hes in effect a monarch.

I agree I think someone should sue him right between the eyes.

This is true and wont change when Trumps gone either to be honest. The right wing of the US is closer to Russia's right wing than any european party and also far divorced from the rest of Americas wants. So long as Fox news keeps pushing them toward fascism they'll vote for the next fascist weather its Trump or not. Dealing with the US right now is like a Jeckle and Hyde situation where each personality lasts for two to four years at a time. Too unreliable for anything productive.

You could do more damage as fifth column resistance from the inside, but enlisting on the opposite side would be easier.

Speaking of, If you don't watch American Dad I'd highly recommend. Been my favorite show from MacFarlane for a while now.

So once again instead of providing choice the market is simply phasing out things with smaller profit margins as if they planned it together in some kind of cartel.

may prevent developing real-world resilience skills

I'm sorry but every corner of the world is battling rising authoritarianism at least on one front, sometimes multiple. Wealth gaps continue to widen and the environment is increasingly being made less hospitable to us, by us, with no end in sight. Are we supposed to be able to just ignore all that? Maybe the maladaptive trait IS avoiding and ignoring all that in what this article seems to mistake for resilience.

Isn't one of the point of the phenom of enshifitication that it's near ubiquitous? The reason it can continue is because it reached a critical mass, leaving us few workable alternatives, like a symptom of monopolization. I'd wager some companies feel like they won't survive if they don't keep up, not sure if that assessment is true but I bet many think it is.

Then I suppose the pardon did some good for the world. Shame it did more bad though.
