i agree. diet fascism would also have been terrible.
Yeah! A mild heart attack that teaches you you need to do better is just as bad as a severe heart attack that kills you!
except it didnt seem like you learned the lesson repeatedly, so a not mild one happened.
biden was already illegally detaining and deporting immigrants. this is nothing new.
my country received weekly planes filled with shackled people they deported back without explanation or their belongings. the concentration camps at the borders were a thing too.
i also recall black vans abducting and dissappearing protesters in both the trump and biden terms.
just because he wasnt boasting about it openly, doesnt mean it wasnt already fascism. you can't vote fascism away, especially when the options presented are fascism and diet fascism.
The concentration camps Trump set up his first term, then Biden had to spend his time trying to reel back and reconnect kids with their family but took waaay longer cause everything was so fucked up? Again, due to Republicans.
Also, immigrants have been deported loooooong before Biden came to term. That's been a forever thing, made easier by the patriot act, which was implemented by Bush, a republican.
But again, this is about one side boasting about taking over 300 legal college age immigrants that spoke out against the current administration. And said side bragging about how it's going to continue. All for speaking out against a genocide THAT YOUR SIDE APPARENTLY HOLDS IN SUCH HIGH REGARD.
That has never happened under democrat reign. No white washing or lies you tell will make that true
How come Republicans can break any laws they want and obstruct everything Democrats try to accomplish when they're out of power, but Democrats are powerless to inhibit Trump even slightly?
I know it's just a meme, but that's how it is. Meanwhile, democrats can't do a single thing without half or more of the party getting up in arms
how is that image relevant to what is being said
So you just don't read now? Cool
No, you just posted meme that wasn't related
Because MAGA and co are doing things that are unprecedented. And when democrats try to do anything, not only are they strong armed by MAGA, but the people thelat are supposedly on their side complain that it's never good enough.
It's literally impossible for Democrats to win when one side hails one person as king and the other can't even decide on who may possibly be good enough to think about doing the right thing
Uh huh, and what stops Democrats from trying something unprecedented?
Because we don't have a messiah that we blindly follow regardless of the rules or how people feel.
We tried to make it easy with "vote blue no matter who" but that still wasn't enough for yall
If we had someone who was willing to do unprecedented things to fulfill their campaign promises I think we would follow them.
Instead, when Democrats win they are unable to do anything because of Republican obstruction, yet when Republicans win Democrats are unable to stop them. It's literally impossible for Democrats to win when they aren't even trying.
You tried to make me vote for genocide. I'd rather kill myself, and I don't mean that hypothetically. I'm trans. Republicans are going to kill me, and I'd rather fucking die than vote for more genocide. I don't know how anyone could listen to Hind's last words and say "yes I'll vote for more of this" instead of thinking "I deserve to fucking die for supporting this demon country."
So, as soon as a perfect candidate comes along you'll vote for them? Congrats. You just proved everything i just said correct!
You know who doesn't have to follow all their campain promises and can just do anything they feel like doing and their party still laps it up and asks for more? You're never going to guess what I say
Trump voters voted for him because they love him, not because they vote red no matter who.
That said, I'm pretty sure voting is over and we're not going to be doing that shit anymore.
Time to do something else.
That's exactly been my point. He can do anything he wants and still gets the pass. We do not have that person, and are weak because of it.
And y'all, looking for that someone to love in response and not accepting anything less, let the man who will cause untold amounts of pain and suffering to who knows how many more people have free reign.
Most everyone voting for Harris wanted the genocide to end. And we would have had the leverage after the election to make change. Especially if you guy would join our side and help be that positive change. Guarantee we would have backed you as nobody wants to see dead babies.
But now that's not possible. The time to do something else is absolutely correct. The time to hunker down and prepare for the worst while waiting for it all to drop in here. Thanks to your fractured support
He gets a pass because he wants the same things and they like the things he does. The fact that they're getting their faces eaten by leopards is a price they're willing to pay, because ultimately what they want is to hurt people. It's grievance politics, their political dreams only revolve around revenge.
Democrats want different things. If Democrats had a candidate that wanted the same stuff as the base and did stuff the base liked, they'd be popular too.
And what did the Party do?
They sabotaged their only popular candidate in the 2016 and 2020 primaries, and Democrats were forced to vote for a candidate they didn't like to stop the Republican. It worked in 2020 because of COVID, but without a national crisis it's not possible for Democrats to win this way.
It's the Party's fault. Place blame where it belongs.
Y'all said the same shit about Biden in 2020 and it wasn't true. They already got our votes. All of our leverage was gone.
Once they win they can tell us to pound sand.
So your plan is to wait around and do nothing.
The usual plan, then. That's all you ever do.
So what's your plan then?
Labor organizing. We run this country and we can shut it down.
I'll just be here, waiting and gathering supplies until we start organizing properly.
If only there was a word or two that properly represented that...
Awesome. And I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Any day now...
again, the boasting does not matter in the grand scheme of things. and all the grandstanding, including pretending to be undoing the brutality of the concentration camps, is meaningless.
exactly what i mean, summed up. fascist country has always done fascist shit, and somehow the "heroes" try so hard but are always unable to undo it, while the fascists always get their way immediatly. i wonder why THAT is 🤔
its almost like, again, you can't vote fascism away.
I really shouldn't comment on this, but I just can't help myself.
FIXING THINGS IS HARDER THAN BREAKING THINGS!!!
who woulda thunk it?!? I'd tell you to fuck off, but this is your instance so imma fuck off instead.
and by that I mean I will block anyone who responds to this comment, no iffs ands nor butts.
they should start trying then.
why is a system that facilitates chaos and shuns attempts to fix it considered democratic at all?
how the fuck do yall still think and act like you live in a democracy.
Because one side bands together and makes sure whatever their leader wants he gets, and the other side is not only fighting against dirty tactics from the opposition but can't get the support from most of the people who hate the same opposition.
One person on their side goes against what Trump wants and they're publicly ridiculed. On the democrat side, no matter what the leader does it's going to make most of the like minded people mad in some way and causes in fighting.
You're just continuing to make that a reality.
diet fascists are not on "my side"
News flash: to the people currently in power, anybody on the anti-MAGA side are together. Doesn't matter if i was to yell vote Biden till my face turns blue and you want off yelling how XYZ candidate is actually the better choice.
They will see the same thing. An enemy. So like it or not, unless your a boot licking facist, you're on the same side as "diet facists"
95% of those "diet facists" would fight for your rights, but you're so hung up on like 5 bad apples that you threw away the whole bushel
Like when they voted for the Patriot Act?
Or when they flip floped into giving Trump what he wanted?
Or when they voted for Trump's cabinet picks? Or when they agree with Republicans to gut Section 230?
Or when Harris said she'd follow the laws of transphobic states?
Or when Biden said to America "we need to fund the police" to bipartisan applause when America was protesting against police brutality and militarization?
Or when Obama, a constitutional lawyer said NSA's spying wasn't that bad? And had Snowden's passport revoked?
Or when Obama and Biden didn't rollback from Dubya's and Trump's invasions of rights? Or even Trump's tax cuts?
Or when Biden had the CDC stop tracking COVID beacuse the numbers going down looked good?
Or when we still have kids in cages at the border?
Or when they bailed out the corporations for fucking over the lives of every American in 2008?
Or when Clinton pushed for Trump to be the RNC choice so she could fight him?
stop. stop. you're making too much sense!
Sense is actually a russian bot ploy to sway voters from using their brains!
🤣 this time around they would, i'm sure.
