Thought to ask this after a pointless and exhausting argument with liberals who are convinced that Trump being voted out proves that liberal democracy works and that Bernie and AOC are going to fix capitalism.

Surely as capitalism continues to decay and it becomes clear that the only possible futures are socialism or barbarism, there's going to come a point where nobody is going to believe that the Bidens and Pelosis are going to save us. I fully expect most liberals to embrace fascism when that time comes, but I've still gotta wonder... what's it going to take? What will be the tipping point?

    Going to second the inevitable collapse of the US will kill neoliberal dreams world wide for a long time. I'm an optimist, so I think even the descent will begin to wear at even the libbiest libs minds when all their idols fail to save them and even begin to say 'mean things' to them.

      Genuinely can't wait for Obama to yell "This is why you have to vote!" in response to the 2nd American Civil War breaking out.

      I hope that the fall of the United States will do the reverse of what the fall of the Soviet Union did to the rest of the world :)
