Like I get :astronaut-1: but woooooooof we're really going for it now.
i understand where all the :astronaut-1: guys are coming from, US has always been a genocidal white supremacist project, but some people really really underestimate how much worse this will get.
We joke about "haha mask off" but they're actually taking the mask off and no longer bothering with even the pretense of democracy, here we fucking go :doomer:
things can always get worse. This life has taught me again and again.

for upper class white people
This is a country with a long rich history of chattel slavery, death marches, concentration camps, and genocide-by-aerial-bombardment.
I don't think I'll live to see anything even remotely as bad as what an average Iraq endured by 2013. Even then, I won't have been subjected to a lifetime of humiliation and abuse like George Floyd.

See, this is my worry, how easily all of that could happen again.
Acceleration goes brrrr
And as predicted, there's much less pushback since Sundowning Joe is at the helm
I love how Biden/Kamala are going to be pointed to by pundits as an example of how "we tried fixing the nation with radical left policies! it didn't work!" so when Trump careens back into the white house he can just resurrect the old "there is no alternative!" mantra for dissolving any remaining public institutions.
I love it.

They'll be screaming it at the rabid 4chan clowns piling in through their windows to lynch them as Leftist Communist China Sponsored Race Traitors. That's assuming they don't get flooded out in the next big hurricane or roasted by the next big fire.
Not enough life rafts on the Titanic to get them all to safety. They will all start knifing each other while in line for the boats.
Yep. These are interesting times. Can't stress this enough: join an org, be friendly and nice to your comrades, and start recruiting.
Kind of nuts that's the fucking thing. You alright? We gotta have solidarity emotionally too.
Hopefully the fascist side will overplay their hand when met with 0 resistance, and thereby engender a backlash that stops them. But probably not.
Ah, yes, the Zap Brannigan approach of winning by throwing soldiers at the kill-bots until their kill counters break.
Only instead of soldiers, it's POCs, LGBTQ+ folk, and anyone with a uterus.
It’s not the preferred strategy, just the only one that has even a sliver of hope still, considering the left is totally destroyed in the US. But it probably won’t work out because the fash will be smart enough to organize enough defenses before overplaying their hand.
We need hypersonic missiles tech from Russia to win this new civil war, please :putin-wink: don't judge us all by the actions of :biden-fall:
I prefer to think of it as "Constitutional crisis and chill"
Yeah, I like to act jaded and tell thr libs this was always gonna happen, but secretly I'm freaking out because this was faster than I expected, and I thought I was out of any hope for the states
We've been doing Fascism for 240 years and counting. Why stop now?
