Fellow US folks, I sure hope you’re taking notes — because I guarantee you our domestic fascists are.
@inthehands I had been thinking that the 25th Amendment on succession and competence was getting sandbagged by the Cabinet appointees being picked for loyalty first.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io Honestly, if you ask me... Yoon is gonna get impeached and be removed from office. Even the leadership his own party (the PPP) doesn't support his martial law declaration.
@inthehands the US doesn't need to do that against an opposition anymore. It'll just happen and everyone* will say "sure, let's go"
