Hoping to help lead a congressional panel that could be in a position to hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable to the American public in the coming years, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday notified her colleagues that she is officially seeking the top Democratic seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
It’s adorable she thinks the government apparatus will still exist after the fascist takeover.
Maybe not, but wouldn’t it be worse to not try? I’m as pessimistic as they come but I don’t think giving up is an option either.
I 100% agree. It’ll suck to be her, but we need her to ask the questions and take notes. There will be more elections, and if/when Dems are back in power, it sure would be nice to have a record of the immoral, unethical, and illegal shit that the GOP did while in power.
I don’t tend to temper my online pessimism, if it’s enough to discourage anyone it was going to happen with or without me.
Obeying in advance is a sure way it will happen.

It actually depends on us. If we accept it in advance it will indeed be over.
The book titled On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century by Prof. Snyder is a must read for today’s times.
