They don’t need any additional motivation at this point, generations of mainland Chinese have been brainwashed into believing that Taiwan is their land, despite that not being the case for centuries.

All they need is an opportunity to open up, where western militaries are occupied elsewhere, such as Europe after a Russian attack on NATO, the US gets pulled in to the Middle East again or the South American war crimes that Trump is doing becomes a much larger war. As soon as they think nobody will come to Taiwan’s aid they will invade.

At this point there is no voting your way back to normal anymore. As others have pointed out, the Democrats will ratchet their way further to the right in order to take office again, and the surveillance state will continue to expand under their authority (albeit somewhat less rapidly)

The lower classes must wake up to this reality and take meaningful steps to remove the ownership class from power once and for all. Holding signs and chanting in a public square during a weekend won’t be enough, the rich and powerful must be in fear of losing their wealth and their lives.

If us Kiwis had any class consciousness whatsoever we’d have an armed mob waiting for these parasites at the airport to “deport” them (from life ideally)
