The Threat of Being in a Fascist, Authoritarian Dictatorship
Over the past few months, I've seen these three words constantly spewed out from things that have been going on in the United States: fascism, authoritarianism, and dictatorship. Even though all three words have different meanings, they all have one thing in common: a failing country.
I honestly don't know what will happen in the coming months. Elections are being held next week, and even if victories were to happen, it ultimately wouldn't matter in the long run. There's also the real threat of not having any elections at all for the midterm elections next year. Trump also just said that he would love to run for a 3rd term, and even though the 22nd amendment of the Constitution says a president can only run for two terms, I can guarantee you they'll find some way to reverse it.
I'm really trying my best to stay away from news outlets and on social media. I've been trying to hard not to go on Reddit because it's been a detriment to my mental health, and I sadly keep going back because I'm worried some big event is going to happen and I won't be aware of it.
I'm scared if something were to happen, I would be arrested or even killed just because I'm autistic; that sadly seems like a real possibility. All of this crap is just scary, whether left or right, religious or not, it's a scary thought to see that our country will devolve into something like Nazi Germany or North Korea.
I apologize for making a political-themed post. I'll probably delete this in a day or two so I wouldn't get any death threats.
