With JD Vance and all the fake populism, and now this. I don't see any other path than the fascist one. Might be best to start looking at options to flee this hellhole.
UPDATE: They now have on a member of the Steamfitters union who is a "lifelong Democrat"... Yeah it's pretty much over
You don't need fascism when there is absolutely NO socialist movement
The reactionaries in the US keep trying to force fascism but (so far) capital isn't really on board because... why would they be? It's not yet necessary for them to team up with the dinguses shitting their pants daily over rainbow stickers sold at Target. We'll remain in this hell world, worst of all worlds, until something actually threatens the capitalist status quo.
