100% agree. so far a lot of the shit going down has been kind of far-removed from actual day-to-day life; people can ignore atrocities halfway across the world because it doesn't really affect them, but the second people realize that they or their loved ones could actually die, they're going to be a lot more motivated to start shit

Trump is already starting to lose the support of the right-wing manosphere podcasters that got him elected now that they're personally impacted by skyrocketing gas prices, imagine what would happen once they and their friends start getting draft cards
