1. Unlimited government surveillance

  2. Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits

  3. Banning leftist social media

  4. Sicing cops on students all over the country

  5. Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

        R/politicalhumor unironically had thisnpist today where it was the trolley problem but the democratic side was one person labeled Palestine and the republican side had like 4 or 5 people.

        At least they've moved on from trying to say they aren't genocidal maniacs and are just tryng to brow beat other people into agreeing to also support genocide.

          at this point Reddit is just various private influence campaigns plus the CIA influence campaign that is Reddit management sort of smashing up against each other

            Anybody who views that picture and doesn't arrive at the conclusion of "we have to violently stop that train" is a literal self avowed genocide supporter.

            That is not being hyperbolic that's just a very literal statement.

          "Vote for our genocide or the other team will genocide even more people you care about" literally just a threat to frame it like that

        "Because he doesn't limit himself with the rules we invented as excuses for why we can't do anything, and if we also stopped making excuses for why we can't do good things we'd be no different from people who do bad things."

          "Even that being the case, wouldn't he need massive support from the military and upper echelons of the intelligence community? Which he doesn't have. Also I think the ruling class of this country are pretty happy with the current neoliberal order and wouldn't support Trump going full dictator."

      What happened to the parliamentarian that pinned every Biden promise to the left against the backboard?
