the speed at which the US is falling apart is astounding
complete subversion of the organs of government by corporate forces
the almost immediate erasure of anything trans-related
families being ripped apart, people being deported and dehumanized in general
it feels like a prelude to the violence
the tech freak fascists have the reins now
the thiels, musks, and yarvins of the world get to see their vision carried out in amerikkka
the world burns

This is the violence. It can escalate, but dehumanizing immigrants and trans people (on top of and extending anti-blackness) is already violence as embodied by ICE raids and deportations, bans on participation and forced detransitioning.
I understand that you would not intend to undermine or disagree with what I just said. I just want to emphasize that violence has already started and has been here.
Does “if America sneezes, the world catches a cold” still apply? Or are we way past that?
I don’t think falling apart is right. It’s evolving. Into something less refined but more stochastic
Breaking stuff is easy. If you’ve ever broken a room down to the studs, that’s the easy part. Large room for error, you’re already breaking things.
Building it back though. That takes a good long while. Requires layering, time, small margin of error.
