    You don’t understand! The dems would have made everything better if we hadn’t stabbed them in the back! Republicans didn’t win a single seat on blue-state soil!

    STABBED IN THE BACK BY COMMUNISTS!

    No we don’t want to do anything about the fascism. Thanks.

      My favorite part is how dems judiciously avoid discussing the elephant in the room which is that it is their own policies that disenfranchise the public.

        The fascism was here all along, it just wasn’t equally distrubuted. The camps were already full, the tent cities were already growing, the war machine was already churning, the secret police were already snatching people to blacksites, the fascists were already supported and the genocide already ongoing. Trump just doesn’t bother with the mask, and liberals mistake that for a qualitative change. He says the quiet part so loud that willful ignorance becomes impossible, and you mistake that change in your awareness for a change in the real conditions. The building has been burning for a long time, he’s just the noxious smoke that wakes you up from your sleep.

          Literally, no. Trump is a substantial change. Yes, the usa historically has had a massive amount of problems. Trump is not same old but said allowed, he’s a new level of psychotic and demented fascism. The previous stuff was what laid the foundation for a full on fascist to come to power.

          the genocide already ongoing.

          There was no genocide perpetrated by the states prior to trump in the last 20 years. Gaza, if that’s what you mean, while supported far too much by the states is done by Israel.

          The degree is different.

            The Gaza genocide has been actively going on for over 70 years my man, Octobe 7th just showed the world what a mask off Israel looked like.

            Yes, the usa historically has had a massive amount of problems.

            Fascism for the poor and minorities, yes

            he’s a new level of psychotic and demented fascism.

            The same actions minus the sheen of reluctant professionalism, yes. We killed a million people in Iraq when I was a child. The only difference now is that white people aren’t insulated, so now it’s fascism.

            The previous stuff was what laid the foundation for a full on fascist to come to power.

            The previous stuff being full of fascist actions such as imperial war, police blacksites and indefinite detention without trial

            Gaza, if that’s what you mean, while supported far too much by the states is done by Israel.

            Israel is a US puppet state that literally cannot exist without a constant flow of money and weapons from us. Their genocide is our genocide. The Democratic governor of my state sent riot cops to shoot college kids with rubber bullets for being against genocide.

            The degree is different.

            The mask is off.

      i wish there was something that can be said when democrats are in control of the congress and the presidency (again) because of trump, but still aren’t able to do anything because of a few holdouts (also again).

      we’ve seen this story play out so many times in the last half century that you’d think people would learn from it; but we don’t so the only conclusion you can draw is that not enough americans pay attention.

      i pity future generations that will have to pay the price for this mass negligence and glad that i will be gone before the brunt of it hits.
