this is what the fascists want. any excuse whatsoever to declare martial law, impose curfews, ‘papers, please’ checkpoints, and ‘papers, please’ thugs going door to door, looking for anyone they don’t like so they can send them to the concentration camp.
thoughtcrime doesn’t entail death, thoughtcrime is death
I really love this meme. The self-defeating attitude that’s been perpetuated by team Dem of "We’ve tried nothing that could potentially be useful and are all out of ideas!” has been swallowed wholesale, by us. Will getting ourselves out of this trap be painful, disfiguring for some, deadly for others? Sure. The other option is self-suffocating, slowly. Drowning by self-waterboarding.
yeah, that’s a weak reason against violent protests. stronger ones are:
the violence is often misdirected at people not able to bring change, eg. small businesses or cars.
the violence exhausts protesters. many of them being crippled or killed by police, until the protests are suppressed by too few motivated protesters being left.
btw cops love violent protests. they get to kill maim and torture more people than usual. it’s what many of them signed up for and look forward to with excitement. sometimes they have off duty cops in plain clothes infiltrating protesters to start the carnage. all it takes is throwing one stone near a collegue with shield and helmet to give him an excuse to go on a rampage against innocent protesters, while the infiltrator sneaks off
Funny how Republicans online were the ones crying about that, but now they’re salivating at the idea of deporting Mamdani for the crime of being a socialist. Can’t have those political opinions, that’s wrongthink!
I think they’re making a joke (what with the /s), but some people will say that since “Nazi” is derived from “national socialist” it’s a form of socialism. Usually people making that claim are arguing in bad faith and/or are grossly misinformed.
What’s been truly revolting is in watching how many liberals have jumped on the fascism bus. Kristen Gillibrand is fully in bed with the Silicon Valley techno-fascists. Richie Torries can’t get enough genocide, whether its via our migrant concentration camps at home or our outsourcing of genocide to the Middle East via Israel and Saudi Arabia. Sitting Democrat NYC Mayor Eric Adams has gone all in on MAGA, after receiving pardons for his chronic misuse of public office and funds from the President. Gavin Newsom is flirting with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon as a podcast host. Half the 2026 Texas Dem Congressional slate is fully in favor of turning the US/Mexico border into the new Iron Curtain. The Florida Democratic Party wants a Bay of Pigs 2.
It’s Italy in 1924 all over again. Oops! All fascists.
Yeah people thinking the Democratic Party is going to save them are delusional IMO. They are part of it and many of them have been working towards the same goal. They are a false opposition at best. Not all of them, some of them are legit, like Bernie, and look how he has been treated by the Dem establishment. Any real resistance is marginalized.
I thought the dems could save us in 2016. I then believed they would save us in 2020. The last chance I gave them was 2024.
Ill vote in their direction only in the hopes they can hit the brakes but, overall, they prove again and again they enable this shit and take no interest in stopping it.
That’s why you gotta primary out the ones that don’t actually do their job. Like if it’s too late to primary one out then yeah vote for the dem over the overt fascist but that’s a last resort. If you have the time, check and see if any actually good candidates are running in the primaries and see if you can volunteer and help them out with their campaign. Obviously not everyone has the time or ability, but every little bit helps if you can
You guys are so delusional. You could replace every sitting Dem in congress right now with your hand picked candidates, and literally NOTHING would be different. How many times does this need to be said, YOU NEED 60 VOTES IN THE SENATE! Without 60 votes, you’re not getting transformative change. You can thank your red state voters for that.
Violent protests probably. Even republicans don’t want fascism. But there is nothing we can do without a hero assassin… At least 3 of them actually.

I keep hearing this so often “they will take any opportunity to declare martial law” this so often its starting to sound like autogenocide

Hey where did they get that picture of me!?
Better check your phone bro, I think they might be spying.
i thought @Asafum@feddit.nl knew, Asafum was waving at the wall just yesterday so i took a pic
We’re already at the thoughtcrime stage…

He’s not a socialist.
In fascist USA anyone not actively licking the boot of a billionaire is a socialist!

They don’t? How can you tell?
Well fascist were socialist and socialism is communism, so obviously.
/s
Am I missing some elementary knowledge? How is fascism resemblant to socialism?

A “Trump Boat Parade” in Jupiter, Florida, on Sunday was joined by neo-Nazis waving swastika flags, shouting “White Power,” “Heil Trump,” and “Make America White Again!”

Scratch a lib…
Leftist being nice to the right is always a sight to see
Leftist aren’t. Dems are. The dems have been a right wing party since at least Clinton (I’m not old enough to remember Jimmy)
lol, you think the Dems are more right wing TODAY than the freakin 70s!?!?

Primary them all. They’re all wet sacks.

You need 51 votes. The 60 is a self made rule they can change, just like the filibuster.
