    Fascism is a weed and power is a vacuum. It’s always going to crop back up and we stop it with any means necessary.

    Unfortunately for the US, we’re kinda fucked and being pushed towards the more extreme removal methods.

      At some point one has to wonder why that weed finds such fertile ground to grow instead of spending all their time weeding.

        Wouldn’t them losing the election handedly in this case imply the ground is less fertile than polling numbers and online content would have you believe?

        The US ruling class always collectively benefits from being right-wing. It’s why we no longer have a true leftist party in the US and instead are stuck with hard-right and center-right. I always ask people to give me a valid reason as to why the ruling class would willingly divide itself when they all benefit from the same things and are ultimately from the same realm. It’s why you see things like AOC marching with pro-Palestine marches, followed up by candid photo ops with Joe Biden—the current figurehead pushing the genocide. It’s all theatrics.

        It’s like George Carlin always said:

        It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
