Cracks me the fuck up the rest of the world thinks this now.
This has been the case since Bush passed Citizens United and it was even happening before that. RIP Rosenbergs.
There are still people here who still make the excuse that Harris is just as bad as Trump, you guys are fucked as a country
denial isn't something you can "fix" for people. they have to make that decision themselves. and people are very attached to their own "fascism 100% impossible in america" fantasy
For some it'll probably take til his fourth
What may have been the largest organized protests in American history were just a few days back, the president has record-breakingly low approval, even his own party's talking heads are turning against him. If you're not going to be satisfied by anything short of armed uprising then at least be brave enough to say as much, but pretending that Americans just don't see anything wrong and aren't doing anything is an act of wilful and blatant ignorance.
I wouldn't rest on your laurels just yet. You'll know when you've begun to turn the tide because the beast will lash out. The restraint we are seeing right now just means they've got a whole lot more in the tank.
You dont have to look further than last October to see this same type of hubris play out. Kamala had momentum and there was 100% a point where if the vote happend then she would have won. For what ever reason they backed off on the "weird" stuff and started rolling out the neocons. The DNC is going to fuck you and you wont even see it coming.
You're only proving that you don't actually have any idea what's going on here, acting like we're resting on our laurels because there was a big protest. Nobody here is thinking "Yeah we made ourselves heard, job's done!" Nobody here says the fight is won, but you're out here acting like nothing is being done at all.
Now? You think this happens at the drop of a hat? The entire system is built that way since decades.
It's a little funny that the Dumpies will ask "What rights did ICE ignore?" like due process isn't the rule of law. Those people are online everyday threatening death and violence to just about anything. Their own internet post history is going to lead to them to the same fate if the coup is successful.
We did just have the largest protest in the history of the nation... I think some of us are aware.
