Since it’s hellworld, I’m sure the answer will be no but…is it irrational to ask ourselves whether their complete mask off moment is happening a bit too quickly?

Material conditions are getting worse, make no mistake. Capitalism is due for a catastrophic event. But, we’re kind of not there yet, and the chuds are making such a big stink about being the catalysts for this once in a generation (tm) extinction event in capitalism. And the amount of poo, So much poo, they throw it everywhere and they do it so loudly that even the most politically unaware are made aware of their pant shitting wrecking this paper tiger of an economy.

So that combined with all the flat out fucking weird and supremely distasteful shit they’re doing and saying makes me feel like they’re overplaying their hand. Atp they just have to kill all of us because i can’t imagine they’re not turning off a lot of normies

I dunno, there’s a lot of people who are pretty content with being bigoted through some veil of propriety, don’t think they want to fight on the kkk frontlines and be confronted for it. But I’m probably being extremely hopeful.

Well, the American right is not really a unified block with common material interests, but a hodgepodge mix of QAnon conspiracy theorists, cultural warriors, neoconservatives, Christian Nationalists, corporatists, etc. It’s no surprise that as a whole they are self-sabotaging and dysfunctional. The big surprise really was that Trump was able to hold all of them together for so long, but even that looks increasingly untenable as his popularity wanes.

Don't forget neo-nazi reactionaries, KKK guys (Venn diagram overlap, but still separate groups), nazbols, groipers, Yarvinists, etc. It's a long-running joke that the left is so dis-unified because of all the disparate ideologies, but holy fuck. At least leftist are striving for the same goals, even if they disagree about the route to get there. The US right is such a fucking mess it's not even comparable.

I encounter a lot of normies in my work - they're sick of this shit. I've talked with well to do PMC people who are very alarmed and ready to or are getting out in the streets. Make no mistake, people are fed the fuck up.

I just hope the US gets its shit kicked in if it decides to invade Venezula

No one should die for Americas foreign policy... but if it happens

I hope Venezuela will make them pay for it

Ignoring the dogpile on the lib to talk about your question: Maybe? Probably not? Idk.

The right are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. They're pushing all the fascism boundaries and finding where there's legit resistance and where it's weak enough that they can push through it. And it seems like they've mostly found out that they can get away with it.

Will there be a shortterm backlash against the right electorally? Probably..but in the slightly longer term maybe electoral results will matter even less.
