Can you participate in a thought experiment with me? The posts warning about fascism are good, but I’m wondering what you think fascism actually looks like. Give a thought, and list what it looks like. Don’t just say “the end of democracy.” List what the concrete changes will be and make it local. “In my town/city/county/state the following will happen…” Think about it before replying. Not just for #BlackMastodon .
@fulanigirl@blacktwitter.io @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe I’ll focus on some of the smaller stuff: Environmental and land use laws will be gutted to allow unregulated development. Coastal access laws will be gutted to allow exclusive beachfront mansions. No cops will wear cameras, ever, but Ring doorbells will be mandatory. Masking in public will be prohibited, even for health reasons. Court filing fees will soar, and all trials will be bench, not jury. Only country music concerts will be allowed in public venues (really).

It will be a question of how quickly #Project2025 can be operationalized.
@paninid@mastodon.world @msbellows@c.im @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe And how would that affect you specifically, where you live?

I’ve described #SanDiego as a militarized border town and I think that would become much more pronounced and obvious.
The thin blue line crew, which is already an under-current, would morph into vigilantes, terrorizing the liberal coastal neighborhoods, and disenfranchised communities, without fear of repercussions.
