Dude should’ve kept making “top 10 worst Wii games from 2006” TV segments and doing coke at the game awards

Incredible how they’re hollowing out what little remains of the Democratic Party base. Like banning TikTok ffs. In 10 years they’ll all be talking about how they were against Israel from the start.

Libs think that the Dems are the good party by definition and that it is everyone’s job to vote for them. They will do whatever they want, then demand your vote. And it still works surprisingly often, probably greatly helped by the Republicans being such obvious crazies, whereas the libs are sometimes able to mask their crazy by politely talking about “believe in science”, “social justice”, “rules-based order” and stuff like that.

This shtick only works so long as enough libs are comfortable in life to tune out if day-to-day politics. Unfortunately for Dems their yuppie, middle income base is starting to feel the effects of imperialism at home. These types of crackdowns and bans aren’t supposed to happen here. And people outside of that income/class bubble are dealing with so much BS right now that I can see this election having abysmal turnout.

We should be recruiting actively for whatever orgs we’re in. People need to know alternatives exist before the fascists get to them.

I mean, these types of crackdowns and bans have been happening forever and they only made liberal institutions stronger as a response.

I’m not optimistic, because the left always gets attacked by the liberal/conservative institutions and the fascists (who are just an outgrowth of liberal/conservative ideologies to begin with) have a big advantage. Right now, a bill is advancing through Congress that would allow the US to ban any non-profits whenever they felt like it - https://twitter.com/LaraFriedmanDC/status/1783130245421281340

10 years after Trump´dies they’ll be ready to rehabilitate him, they’ll talk about how he was funny but because he was stupid he wasn’t nearly as bad as [insert current GOP fascist here] and obviously [insert current election here] is the most important ever etc.

You think they’ll wait for him to even die before they start rehabilitating?

Yeah I think it’ll take that long. It didn’t take that long for GW Bush, but he just flubbed his speeches sometimes. Trump lacked any decorum at all and made the office of the president look foolish.

(Obviously the fact that GW Bush was a mass murderer and Trump used the campaign trail to encourage hate crimes don’t matter for this.)
