There is a reckoning coming for all of this. The reaction is stalling out; they have utterly failed to seize the moment of their ascendancy, have achieved nothing but to terrorise the populace as a spectacle for their supporters while falling short of the wholesale terror needed to silence dissent, and as a result with every passing day now the administration becomes more visibly futile in its efforts to reshape society as it would like. The vast majority of people are disgusted by what these pigs are doing, and by the fecklessness of those rats who called themselves "The Resistance", and as soon as the moment of historical opportunity arrives, there will be a furious vengeance exacted, the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes.

While I for one will always be first to follow Stalins line on believing the heresy of American exceptionalism, I wouldn't hold my breath necessarily for the American people to have their own Red Sunday or February Revolution currently.

That said if something does happen it's most likely gonna be hell let loose in a vicious cycle of escalation that'll actually tear apart the fabric of society and truly be a crossroad for barbarism or socialism

Could have interesting worldwide ripple effects as the US import economy collapses and its hegemonic grip on the global south evaporates. Groups of all kinds would surely seize on the opportunity caused by such an immense power vacuum.

Sometimes it seems like it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is the end of American hegemony
