What a weird fulcrum moment we are in. Tyranny looms but at the same time we have a presidential candidate speaking up for gay people to a degree I don't think we've seen before.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say the next administration could bring us a few steps closer to liberal utopia or could bring us actual concentration camps. It's a little hard for me to even process.

@mkb Yes, it is hyperbolic to say that.

And we've seen those claims made over and over, and they aren't any more true now than they were before.

It's just not how the US government works, how it can work. Neither option is on the table, and it cannot be on the table, and basic civics shows us that.

So the people running around making these hyperbolic claims before have been proven wrong. How many times are we going to keep repeating them until we dismiss them as the propaganda that they are?

Maybe the reason it's hard for you to even process is because you know in your heart that these claims are falsehoods promoted by people looking to profit off of spreading sensationalized claims.
