International shipping to the USA has slowed dramatically and the word is this is just the beginning. This is extremely rare to see these docs without cargo.

Generalizing all trump voters as irredeemably bad is a barrier to antifascist organizing.

Some of trump’s most affected victims voted for him and it’s naive to think we don’t need them to defeat fascism.

Its a bit late for the people who’s leopards are eating their face to get upset that they voted for the leopards.

Especially when everyone else told them specifically “that leopard will eat your face.”

If you voted for trump, quit crying and start protesting. Its basically the last hope we have of a peaceful resolution to this problem.

If you believe there’s a peaceful resolution you’ve already conceded defeat.

It feels natural to be angry at people who fell for fascist lies, but the fascists tell these lies because a certain percentage of people will always believe them.

It’s more effective to acknowledge that sad reality, rather than blaming the people who make up that percentage.

It takes a lot to turn your back on a former identity, even when it’s hurting you. Calling people stupid all the time makes that harder and gains us nothing.

If they could look past him being a felon, raping kids, assaulting women, mocking a disabled person, etc…they will be no help defeating fascism

Those people will be the ones destroying libraries and universities, and setting up concentration camps before they’ll protect the actual constitution. They aren’t going to help.

The ones that support him right now are too far gone at this point. The people you see complaining in town halls are the people that need to be swayed, but they have already decided that he is not what they want.

I think the anti-fascist organizing will have to find a way to succeed without changing their principles to make the fascists feel welcome.

Fun story here, I co-organized parties and we sold slaps for 2 bucks each. Guest what? It worked very well.

Trump voters are the same as the ones paying to be slapped minus the party.

Yes, but never mind that.

This is going to cause Soviet-style, empty shelves, lining up for bread, actual goddamned shortages.

Imagine going through another COVID-like experience as far as the economy is concerned, except this time it was entirely caused by the conservative virus.

Because it’s starting to look like that’s what is going to happen.

Glad I just got a bread maker!

Gotta learn to make buns with it so it’s just not loaves.

I could be wrong, but my very limited experience with bread makers is that they’re basically for making loaves more conveniently, since they can mix, knead and bake all in one device. If you’ve got to remove the dough and form it into buns to bake on a sheet pan anyway, I’m not sure a bread machine has any advantage over a normal stand mixer.

Ah well at least they stuck it to the woke agenda amirite? I just want to repeat that I feel awful for the actual decent people in the USA that have more than two brain cells. And I wish that I could give you an island or something where you don’t have to share a country with piece of shit scum human beings.

But that aside, I’m going to start looking at this as good news, personally. I am going to feel glee at seeing Americans having to lie in the bed that they made. I’m looking forward to some real pain and suffering here.

American here. Feeling the same. The only way the dumbest among us can learn is through personal suffering. So that’s the way it’s going to be.

I’m a bit worried that, instead of learning on their mistakes, they’ll just find another scapegoat. Like, “if we had Canada and Panama none of this would’ve happened”, or some other inane shit like that.
