Idk, if your political project is that fragile, maybe it isn't particularly good. This is trying to do the ur fascism thing of painting the opposition as simultaneously too strong and too weak thing, except in a single tweet, so it just comes off stupid.

    BFF's with fascism in the name of Marxism

    The amount of political illiteracy among the general population is staggering. Words have no meaning any more.

      It's actually so bad sometimes I wonder if we're just weirdo elitists but then I read John Locke and I'm like "What the fuck this is literally just the USA" but people out here unironically think Biden is a Marxist

      I see the BFF's with fascism get thrown around occasionally as some mystical, ill-defined red-brown alliance that...somehow has a lot of power and presence, yet is also a very loud fringe segment entirely populated by teenagers.

      Also yes, most Americans have completely incoherent discrete political stances that have little connection with their daily experiences. I think that was the point. Politics can't be about your daily lives because most people would vote to arrest their bosses and landlords. Most Americans have no structured political identity at all and the ones who do largely do so out of a media aesthetic. We're the freaks because we're coherent and we've become brain-poisoned internet goobers as the price of entry.
