As an Austrian, let me tell you: This is a Machtergreifung happening right now.

I implore my American friends to do something before they lose their democracy. It happens much faster than you think, believe me.

> I implore my American friends to do something

What the hell am I supposed to do at this point? I've been doing everything I can for years to try to prevent this type of outcome. At this point it's happening, and vague "do something" comments aren't helping.

it's already lost.
We were warning people for years. We tried telling people to vote. They just couldn't be bothered, and a third of the country have been radicalized to the point they only wish they could shoot "undesirables" in broad daylight.

It's too late now. They control every branch of the government, they've totally removed the mask and have begun unabashed purges and passing laws making voting against them illegal (see Tennessee this week).
