One image released Friday shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face; the bowl has a sign saying, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears an image of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

    Sadly. I disagree. I think the issue is that people view history as a collection of sudden moments. Mostly because of how history is taught that way. But the reality of living through them is much different.

    The dam does not break. There is no dam. The sea level slowly rises and consumes the shoreline. Those on the edge are the first to go to the streets and demand justice. But most people will not be effected enough to be forced into action.

      Generally you are right, but now and then there is a historical spasm that makes a relatively quick historical change - the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Fall of the Iron Curtain, etc.

      I think the fall of MAGA could be like that. If they rig the 2028 election for him to win again, then America normality has ended and it’s time to get to some serious revolution.
