So are we living in a repeat of Weimar Germany at this point? President asleep at the wheel. Fascism at the door. Brownshirts in the streets beating up LGBTQ and pro-Palestine supporters? And now the court is laying down the framework to give the prez unlimited power?
This all feels like a blurb kids would be reading in a school book in Star Trek in the lead up to World War 3.
No because there is no left. There is very little for fash to react to that is tangible, they only have punching down against marginalized identities. In reality, it's just fascistic liberals and liberal fascists lost in a milieu of false consciousness about why they're getting paid worse and everything is more expensive and it must be the fault of [broad brush identity]. Both of these factions already have power. They're cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, business owners, military contractor workers, etc.
These will be the interesting times people talk about. Awareness of actual material decay is ascendant. There will be more and more opportunities for us to grow the left. At the same time, those groups in power will like nothing more than a left scapegoat.
I recommend that everyone join an org and begin learning organizing skills and opsec.
The Bell Riots are supposed to take place this September.
Bravely respecting the SCOTUS by not using the power he was just given by the SCOTUS.
Supreme Court: there are no effective limits on presidential power
Biden: "i will respect the limits of power"
respect what limits? the supreme court literally said there were no limits to the powers of the president, throw them in gitmo you lib
Aww he's being so nice and respectful to the apparently world ending threat of complete anhilation of all freedom
Biden: Trump wants to destroy our democracy!
SCOTUS: hey guys, so, turns out we agree with Nixon. If the president does it it's not illegal
Literally everyone: they just told you to drone strike the guy you claim is an existential threat to the country and it would be non prosecutable
Biden: WHYWHYWHY JACK I was saying the other day "listen... we're the United States of..." and by the way! We're gonna pass gay abortion i mean abortion i mean we're gonna abort gay the gay the trans you know? The documents the abortions the border... listen! And by the way...!
So Trump has now been authorized to just fucking shoot someone on 5th Avenue
The funny thing about this is how liberals have been insisting this whole time that the smol bean president doesn't have any power to stop the genocide.
