I’m fucking sick of it being
“Right of center wealthy elites vs angry poor men want fascism”
It’s not even that most of them want fascism, that’s the fucked up part.
A lot of it is just tantrum voting. They know politicians like Pelosi, Hillary, and yes even Biden are shit and bad for regular Americans. But Trump is worse. It doesn’t matter tho because for some people once they hit a “shit threshold” both sides are the same.
As much as people on the left are accused of being accelerationists, a significant amount of people who voted for trump are hoping one way or another the current system gets burnt down.
Long term, talking like 2044?
That’s 16 years after trump’s 2nd term. Hopefully there’s an election in 2028 with a fair primary and a fair general all around. If not that’s still a lot of time to bounce back.
Don’t listen to the doom and gloom from mainstream media, the wealthy owners are happy trump won and want everyone to stop caring so 2028 pops up before we realize and we just go along with the “it’s too late to do anything except what the rich want”.
The next four years will suck, that’s all the more reason to focus on the next shot to really fix everything that breaks, and make sure we pick someone willing to fight
I think there will always be a certain type of male that really believe that humans need a pecking order, and they’ll live vicariously through the broligarchs, even if they have no power whatsoever. Social media platforms make that easier than ever to find and worship such awful people. This is why I give side-eye when people tell me that Gen Z is somehow inherently more just and so on than any other prior generation.
By what possible mechanism would that even be? It certainly is not from teaching media literacy or critical thinking at mass scale.
