    As I intentionally filter out as much US politics as I can, this has come out of nowhere for me.

    Australia has a couple of really simple things baked into its electoral system to resist something wildly unpopular like this from getting in power:

    1. Compulsory voting. These MAGA crazies are not and will never be the majority. If everyone had to vote, they’d never get in.
    2. Proportional voting. We vote for multiple candidates. If our first choice doesn’t get in, our vote goes to our second choice. Then third etc. we aren’t forced to vote for a lizard just to prevent the worse lizard getting in (it still almost always comes down to two parties, though).

    I know these are total non-starters for our American friends. “You can’t make me vote, that’s against the constitution or something”.

      As an American, I think I’d support compulsory voting… But the right would fight that with everything they had, because if everyone had to vote, they’d never win with their current stances.

      Good thing that USA is spending as much on their military as during the height of WW2, so they can come and help. Wait a moment…

          It is part of what 2A was actually meant for.

          Would be interesting to see who comes out on top in a battle. A Gravy SEAL or a yoga instructor. One has gun accuracy, the other has everything else.

          But I’m sure by day 30 everyone’s over it after another country swoops in to annex during the instability. It’s not like allies can do anything until that point, and then there’ll be that whole rule of engagement where they can’t involve or engage with any Gravy SEALs or yoga instructors unless fired upon first. Which I imagine would happen a lot since the militias have never been “well regulated” and are in no way ready for combat, let alone identifying what’s friendly or foe.

          “Whoah! Stop shooting! We’re England!”

          “The hell you boys doin’ 'ere?”

          “The annexation.”

          “The wha?”

          “You’re losing your country to Russia and China for like eight months now.”

          “We are?”

          “Yeah, most of the west coast is already their’s. We’re trying to hold them off-”

          “California too?”

          “Yes. That’s where they landed.”

          “Buddy, that is great news! I gotta report this to HQ.” crosses street to Taco Bell “Captain Grand Wizard, we fuckin’ did it!”

    I think bullet point 5, about stealing social security, is better cited by page 710, where it is explicitly stated as an “area of concern”
