History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

It seems like we're plunging into fascism, but maybe this upcoming midterms will (not be rigged and) prove to be an effective backlash to the US' reactionary coup. What do you figure the odds are we pull out of this and say, "huh actually let's try that FDR thing instead of this Nazi shit"?

Considering the overwhelming support among Democratic politicians and party insiders for fascist collaboration, the odds are probably low.
