I predict 4 years of milquetoast neoliberal bullshit and then a real fascist seizes power. Only question is if they win by election or we see another coup like yesterday. Either way, looking forward to meeting you all irl at the camps!
The right is 100% going to win by election in 4 years unless they ROYALLY screw up. The dems are going to do absolutely nothing of material value over the next 4 years, and all the right has to do is get up there and hammer that home. Which they do anyways. Assuming the democrats DO actually accomplish anything, the right just has to get up there and talk about how that thing is communist and how it's destroying America. Which they do anyways.
So that leaves 2 options. Both of which result in dems losing:
Option 1: We get another Trump like in 4-8 years, but this time they're competent, and America collapses into fascism
Option 2: We get someone like Kasich, who just continues to slowly roll things back while libs cheer and the MAGA crowd protests that it's not enough. This basically just turns into another Bush era, which will lead to another Obama-like era, which will lead option 1 in more like 8-24 years
Either way without some serious direct action by the actual left, we're still directly on the march to fascism

100% this. Yesterday proved just how easy it would be to pull off a right wing coup here in America. This felt like a test run. If Trump wasn't so stupid and worried about his ego, he could've totally pulled this off. Those people yesterday had the backing of police and half of the GOP supporting them. Somewhere out there, there's another fascist like Trump who is vowing not to make the same mistakes.
Yesterday also proved how useless liberals are and I hope people now realize it when they go on and on about "radicalizing libs". Amidst a coup, they'll just get on Twitter and whine, moan and cry in the same smug, condescending way that they love. They'll make 'white privilege' trend as a hash tag and try to explain away that what's going on, totally isn't the result of the system, and all we need to do is vote for another status quo loving neoliberal to get back to normal. Then sit there and wonder why the cops are protecting fascists and aren't arresting them.
They won't do any of this. They'll do shit like "make Prop 22 federal law" under the guise of "worker's rights" or "appoint conservative justices" as a "compromise"
Counterpoint: Yes they are.

Option 3: Trump wins second term.
Option 4: I abolish bourgeoisie electoralism and institute single party rule, sport.
If you establish the dictatorship of the proletariat jack, you'd prove that we were all lying dog-faced pony soldiers the whole time.
The scariest thing is that if they use the Capitol kerfufle to pass a Patriot Act v 2.0, when that inevitable fascist comes it will be real bad.
