The US has always been fascist, since Manifest Destiny up to and after WWII. Fascism is just now turning inward towards the people who never thought they'd see this end of the stick.
Still, despite all the hatred and forces pushing us apart and pinning us down, this is our opportunity to restructure the country and make reparations to those we've wronged.
Have radical optimism in the face of radical hatred.

ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ the best time to flip out about fascism is ten years ago.
Second best time is today.This is what we need to hear. Not condescension for inaction, but a call to continuously move forward with protest, unification, and unwaveringly loud "fuck you"s to the administration that's trying to kill us.

It didnt create meaningful change. A person was killed. The opinions of his fans are only stronger now. So what did it accomplish, really.
Also, the moment people split into two sides and wont listen to eachother, and starts fighting eachother, you have the setup needed for much more meaningless violence. This is where America is now. Because you have been manipulated into it.
You can watch this video that actually explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azE7nqqQMmo
Please actually watch it. This is 100% what is happening.
Oh nah, I moved away a long time ago because I saw what would happen over a decade ago.

Most disappointing line in the sand ever.
Ten years ago was the time to flip out about fascism. I can't believe some people are still telling us "wait for it...!"
Did you flip out yet? What, exactly, did you do?

Heh, that would've been my guess. Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your joke worked. It was just weird to see all those concepts put together in a way they wouldn't go in an actual game. (DND doesn't have action points, for starters)
But Baldurs does right? I played it for like 2 minutes

wasn't there news he got his italian passport for this exact reason ?

If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone's entertainment and they'll get pissed real fast.
You mean like when there was a writer's strike and basically nothing happened and basically nothing changed?

One of them dies and the rest of us are dealing with the consequences.

Look up 'pyrrhic victory.'Oh no, don't give the nazi regime pretense for the things they already did and already were planning to do! That would be horrible!

Very incisive question, thanks for asking. I left the country.

Not in America. In France, yes. Still humans in France.

Most of his supporters are okay with the things he's doing.
Epstein is what sickens them
Trump supporters donโt care that he is a pedo or fascist. The only folk who can be influenced are the non-voting undecideds. Getting folk out to vote is the only way we have a chance out of this. Thatโs why the MAGATs are trying to reduce voting participation. They know that is their Achilles heel. If more people vote, they lose, and they know it.

Initiative determines the order of action. Usually in combat, but it could theoretically be applied elsewhere, a debate for example, or if a Bard challenges someone to a rap-battle (I guess those are both kinda just verbal combat though).
Action points are how many actions you can perform per turn of initiative. Usually a movement, an action, and possibly a bonus action.
Slipping on a banana peel could be done if you rolled acrobatics to leap over the banana peel but failed the skill check. Say you're a Gnome whose lost their legs, taking a -6 modifier to Dexterity. This could cause an acrobatics roll of 12 to fall to 6, which could below the 7 you might contextually need to succeed at leaving over the banana peel.
"Using your powerful gnome arms you make a mad gorilla dash and leap with all your might, Unfortunately the loose dirt under your right hand gives way and you slip. You manage to catch yourself with your left hand, but before the squelch of the banana peel registers to your ear your arm slips out from under you and you strike your head upon the ground"
Take 1 Damage and Roll a Con save to see if you're concussed.Edit: I brainfarted and described a potential DnD or PF situation, this cannot occur in BG

Not in the sense people usually use the phrase "action points".
In D&D, on your turn, you get one action. That might be hitting someone with a sword, casting a spell, or whatever. You can also move, but that's not typically an "action". Some classes also get what are confusingly called "bonus actions", which are extra things you can do on your turn. Rogues, for example, can try to hide as a bonus action even after they did a normal action like shoot someone. A regular fighter who shot someone with a bow wouldn't be allowed to try to hide on the same turn, but the rogue could.
Because you only get one action (and bonus actions), no one calls them action points. You might say "you already took your action" or something.
Compare with a game like the original Fallout. You get a number of action points based on your stats. For an average character, it's 7. Shooting someone typically takes 2, a called shot takes 3. I think movement also takes action points. So on your turn you might shoot someone 3 times (six action points) and move a little (1 action point). Or take a called shot (3 AP) and move a lot (4 AP). Lots of options. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 also use action points in a similar way.
This is way more explanation than you probably needed. The key thing is on D&D you typically do one thing on your turn (eg: attack, cast a spell). Pretty much every action has the same "cost" in this sense. You can't really mix and match, and there's not as much tactical depth on your turn. (Pathfinder 2e gives you three actions per turn, but I don't think anyone calls them points there, either.)

And when that canary croaks, it'll be another. And another and another, so long as we don't have to get up off our asses and stamp out these evil fuckers and undo their shit
It's not that easy though. We are at the conclusion of a decades long campaign to poison not just our government and politics, but our society as well. Take out every fascist tonight, and we still have to contend with the fact that, as a people, we are no longer capable of operating a democracy. Healing the divides and fixing generations of indoctrination takes time we don't have.
I'm not saying there is no hope, but we have to sober about the tasks ahead of us if this country is ever going to heal.
