I worry that too many people assume the US is special and will successfully reject fascist rule. I think there's a good chance that we're stuck with this for a couple generations.

Fair.

I'm hopeful that it can't get exponentially worse forever.

Cities are not functionally free market. You could have control of layout, zoning, regulations, infrastructure design and allocation, tax incentives, etc.

Not sure how well this would model a real city where the "freehand" is guided by countless individual decisions.

I've noticed the opposite with Seek. It's way better now, especially with insects and fungi.

Partially, it's also that average nobodies are abusive shit heads too, we just don't write articles about them.

To avoid armed targets, they have been calling people into court hearings, then they drop charges which allows people to leave. On the way out of the courthouse feds will abduct them.

It's pretty brilliant. If people become too scared to show up to court, then they get a real judicial warrant which allows them forcibly go into homes.

Trump clearly demonstrated over decades that he is unable to not break laws, and he was arguably elected because of that. Therefore, the most democratic thing would be to let him be a dictator. 🤷
