"The MAGA court made their decision to gut voting rights just in the nick of time for Louisiana Republicans to postpone the scheduled primaries to slice and dice voting maps."
I’m openly wondering why, in a country with a law that was designed to literally protect the people from tyranny (which I think cancelling elections counts) nobody is doing anything.
Exactly, everyone is still too comfortable to take such drastic action. That’s fortunate because it means society hasn’t broken down to the point of people starving and what not (which I don’t think it’ll ever get to that point in the near term). But it’s unfortunate that everyone is still too comfortable to take action.
Actually, millions of people are taking action in protests, petitions, local referendums, etc. but not many people want to take the most drastic action as they have too much to lose (e.g. their life). I want the regime to fall and face real justice without violence, but the regime is pushing everyone to get violence so they can crack down even harder against any dissent. We’re speedrunning to Putin’s playbook.
I’m not directing people to go do something.

Because the people who worship guns the most support the tyrants.
The hierarchy of needs is being met sufficiently that going against the system providing them is scary, especially when you’re likely to die doing it.
Same reason the bear runs when the cat chases it. Not worth the fight.
I’m not saying this is how I believe, just this is what I believe the general reason is.
