Everyday I wake up and realize that we are going to go full fascist in America. Not with Trump but in 20-30 years we will be full-throated black-booted fascist and dipshit dems will mostly support it.
All liberals support fascism in some way
The difference is between scratched and unscratched, which isn’t much at all.
full-throated black-booted fascism is already here, just not evenly distributed. And it'll stay unevenly distributed even after you're enveloped in it
I don't when/how it will happen but I do know the dems will be flummoxed that nobody wanted FascismLite.
Arguing in committees about how the skulls on the Brownshirts' uniforms are a bit too overt
Way out in 20-30 years? I love me me an optimist.
I mean, it's going to get worse, but we're already there.
Look at the laws and the crackdowns on people who protested police murdering black people. Or look at the recent ongoing blackballing of everyone they can touch who supports Palestinians.
The only thing left that makes us all feel like we aren't living in a fascist state is that we have "free speech" to openly criticize, verbally, the government and officials, but you can NEVER act on that criticism. And honestly that may remain forever (hard to tell) because it's a very useful control mechanism. Liberals LOVE peaceful protests and typing essays on Twitter, but if you go out and (I do not condone!) firebomb or break into an arms manufacturers' warehouse, then, "holy shit shoot to kill! GODDAMN TANKIES!"
To liberals, words are the ultimate tool. Actions, material conditions, etc. none of that shit matters. You just gotta "own the Orange Man" and then he will be defeated and we can move on to doing literally everything he was doing anyway but nicely or never spoken about at all. Status Quo Joe is their savior. Genocide Joe. Jim Crow Joe. He's just the same, and in many ways worse than, Trump.
