Trump: convicted rapist, pedophile, misogynistic swine. Also failed businessman, pathological liar, corrupt to all hell. Sellout to Russia and the Nazis.

Harris: didn't condemn Israel.

Fuck off 'both sides'-ers

A vote for Trump is a vote to end America. It really is that simple. If there is one thing I hope future generations rally around and condemn is Trump voters. I hope they are shamed for eternity.

Harris assured Trump voters that nothing would fundamentally change. The Democratic party is sitting on their thumbs while the fascists are taking over. Electoral politics don't save us from fascism.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh, you didn't get the memo? Everyone has always opposed Israel now.

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago

This this this this this this this this.

I have zero goddamn sympathy for any so-called "leftist" who didn't vote for Kamala. You have condoned neo-facism to stroke your own ego. No two ways about it. At least now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me, how's that self-righteousness taste?

Beginning to question the inherent wisdom of "Normal transition of power" when Biden handed the keys of the kingdom to a guy who openly planned to lock all the doors and shoot the next guy elected to walk through them.

But hey, I guess it would have been against the rules not to meekly empower a fascist dictatorship.

[-] Labtec6@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Probably what will happen is anyone who might challenge them will suddenly be arrested on Trumped-Up charges.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I hope you are being cheeky by saying 'beginning to', it was immensely obvious this was the plan going back to, at bare minimum, about a year before the election, when Trump just kept saying he was gonna serve 3 terms, his supporters wouldn't have to vote again, etc.

[-] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

I disagree with Biden's handling of the transition, but it's definitely internally consistent with his beliefs. He really, really wanted the global rule of law to work.

I would not be surprised if part of the intention here was to maintain legitimacy during the initial transfer, so that when the monsters refuse to do the same, it will lend legitimacy to a global response to assist the people in reclaiming their democracy.

Now, you could also call that 'passing the buck' and... Well, yes. He did seem to do too much of that, imo. Or not enough, depending on how you look at it.

This is what Alligator Auschwitz is really for.

America, your opportunity to stop this is narrowing and walking around with signs once a month on a weekend isn't gonna do it.

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

Every week, more people show up. I’m involved in local politics besides.

You’re slamming people for being involved. They are doing something being out there.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Forming connections at low stakes events like protests is exactly what people need to do. That lot talks like anyone who doesn't buy an AK and a red beret first thing is just wasting time.

only one side is fighting though.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's what they've been counting on. From over a year ago...

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

I wish, but I don't have faith that enough liberal interests will give a shit. They've done little to stand against fascism and have sided with corporate interests every time.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Civil wars aren't typically fought by politicians. It's up to regular people.

[-] Signtist@bookwyr.me 15 points 1 week ago

Regular people who have been pacified by a lifetime of "violence isn't the answer" and "if you fight back, you're just as bad." I hope we find the will to resist, but I worry we're too far gone.

It'll take time for good people to lose the "anti-violence" dogma, but it'll happen; if only because it because it becomes an unavoidable fact of life.

Revealed? Did no one read Project 2025m

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nobody reads anything longer than a paragraph, nobody watches anything longer than a youtube short linked on facebook.

We are here because we allowed comfort and convenience to rot all our collective brains. We are all accountable, we all had a role to play, even if tiny. We could have rallied together, we could have pushed community action and worked harder to preserve progressive ideology. We could have stopped giving so much freedom to the people trying to take away all our freedom. We could have stopped buying shiny new phones and cars and demanded products that last and union protections for our workers.

But no, we thought it was funny when 4channers started screaming about how evil feminists were and laughed it off instead of having their nests burnt down and we instead started our decades-long obsession scrolling for dopamine instead of involving ourselves with the people who run our communities.

If we had claimed the flag, if we had been the ones screaming about our rights to own guns and how we wanted to make america great, if we had been the ones getting arrested for plowing our cars into groups of nazis, we would be the ones with the muscle right now setting social policy. But just saying that is probably setting off some of ya'll and that's what the problem is.

I promise you, the other side isn't balking at rhetoric like that and are actively encouraging it, and have won every round because of it.

MAGAts are traitors so I would expect nothing less.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Fucking Russia and CCP run China in the USA. That is some 3rd World crap right there and the Blue States should tell Canada to annex them ASAP.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

trump is getting more and more desperate as the days go on, when epstein files arnt released, and mounting pressure and more evidence showing up about his pedophelia, the tariffs arnt really distracting as it use to be, Also its not like elections were free or fair to begin with, significant tampering has been done by the gop on local,state and presidential for a while.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That was a very weird article...

To the point I googled the source and apparently it's a 90 year old Maxist-Leninist newspaper. Which kind of explains the writing style and lack of sources.

They do have "left" lean, but it always feels off because those people also are super into authoritarianism. So it's less about presenting enough for someone to understand and form an opinion, and more like telling their readers an opinion along with a few facts that were found after the fact to be used to defend it.

To be clear; Trump's 1500% going to try and steal the election, but everyone already knows that. There is zero new information on the article and I'm pretty sure everyone that didn't vote for trump has came to the same conclusion...

Marxist/Leninists writing just always gives me something like the uncanny valley feeling. I don't care how it's dressed up, or if the person speaking/writing agrees with my existing opinion, I can't fucking stand them. I guess it's "the ick"

Better sources have been covering all of this for months already.

I'd be an 'optimist' if I could catch up with them, but they are moving the goal posts too fast.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 week ago

The economic crash if that happens is going to be sweet.
