So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

Bill Burr in the background! Wonder when his wife flipped off Trump? I hope she doesn’t apologize, I’ll be disappointed.

Not that I know of. There is a video where you can see Nia flipping off Trump. It was at the UFC event on Saturday.

Even if you’re pro-religion, voting blue is the better choice. Only blind mammonites and hate-filled egotists can justify voting republican.

Also, the way Trump’s base is all whipped up, not voting at all is nearly equivalent to voting for him.

decisions that probably make your life 2% worse

You know, unless you’re someone in Gaza whose life Biden’s military aid package to Israel will end, but hey, they’re just brown people!

Voting blue instead of abstaining or voting 3rd party? Sure, but let’s not downplay how bad the Blue Team is. By voting for them, we are being complicit in the crimes of the Democrats in order to stave off worse crimes, but are still complicit in the murder and genocide nonetheless.

Do you honestly think the Republicans wouldn’t support Israel?

And a vote for 3rd parties is a vote for Republicans.

And Israel would be attacking Palestine even without US support, given Hamas is still going to be attacking them.

What in my comment gave you that impression? Do you think that just because both parties would do it absolves you from being complicit in it?

And a vote for 3rd parties is a vote for Republicans.

So is a vote for Democrats, since they’re doing nothing to actually stop Republicans. The 2 party system is built so that control switches between the 2 parties. One party will never hold it indefinitely.

And Israel would be attacking Palestine even without US support

So your argument is that we may as well just go along with the genocide since it will happen with or without us?

This is peak Centrism. “I don’t agree with the genocide, but I’ll go along with it since I’ve got nothing better to do.”

That’s what they really want to return. They all must’ve read Mein Kampf, applied it to Trump/Republican and thus we’ve got a new nazi regime in the works. It’s been over 78 years since the end of WW2 and these bastards are orchestrating a reason for WW3 because power fantasies.

Because opposing fascism requires force, and we have disempowered individuals from that kind of action, in favor of our political apparatus solving it… but our political apparatus is not trying to solve it, because money has taken over everything, and fascism is perfectly compatible with corporatism and capitalism.

Corporatist Democrats would rather risk fascism than they would risk losing their cushy lifestyles.

History may not exactly repeat itself but it sure does rhyme an awful lot!
