We are removing “gaslighting” from our active vocabulary for a day or two, aren’t we?

Uniparty-L-tards still repeating the same retarded analogies… and talking points… and faux-intellecualism they learned from the “rational wiki” and co.

Wishful-thinking Harris into becoming a landslide winner failed. How surprising. How surprising.

Will they ever learn? Doubtful.

The audacity and shamelessness of some to even mention Palestine is on a whole other level though. Like only now things will get seriously bad! Like Gaza hasn’t been flattened multiple times over already. Like America itself under the uniparty rule isn’t the most recent/current number 1 committer of genocides around the world. Like the uniparty-L-tards haven’t put some of the faces of previous war crimes at the front of their fake-it-til-you-make-it campaign.

I guess if Madeleine “500,000 dead Iraqi children is worth it” Albright can be a part of the “woke” twitter echo chamber for years, then anything goes.

The dem message of “we won’t do better but the other guy will do worse” failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn’t motivating enough

I mean it’s quite different. Hitler wasn’t elected (at least not prior to seizing power and effectively banning all opposition). Instead the Nazis got a plurality of just 33% in the Reichstag election, which led to failure to form a government. Then Hitler somehow convinced the center right President to grant him powers which he promptly started abusing and the rest is history.

In other words, 1930s Germany can kind of defend itself in ways the US can’t.

I just cannot get over the fact that if every man o. The country dropped dead the world be a better place.

Germany, Jan 1933 = USA, Jan 2025

You think we’re not just as confused how it happened this time?

1. Get organized. Join a Leftist org, find solidarity with fellow comrades, and protect each other. The Dems will not save you, it is up to the Workers to protect themselves. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization both organize year round, every year, because the battle for progress is a constant struggle, not a single election. See if there is a chapter near you, or start one! Or, see if there’s an org you like more near you and join it, the point is that organizing is the best thing any leftist can do.

2. Read theory. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. It will help contextualize what fascism is, what causes it, and how to stop it. I can offer a good introductory reading list for Marxism if you’d like, but this is a good starting point.

3. Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground.

4. Be more industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your problem-solving capabilities. Not only will you improve your skill at one subject, but your general problem-solving muscles get strengthened as well. Theory guides practice, which sharpens theory to be reapplied to better practice.

5. Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others. The Democrats will not save us, we must save each other.

6. Be persistent. If you feel like a single water driplet against a mountain, think of the Grand Canyon. Oh, how our efforts pile up! With consistency, every rock, boulder, even mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but steady and persistent water droplets.

Its a buffet for the leopards. They’ll coast on Biden’s policies for a bit, when Trump plans take affect we’ll see.

First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out because I was a legal citizen.

Then they came for the LGBTQ members and I did not speak out because I am straight.

Then they came for the non-whites and I did not speak out because I am white.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

Irrelevant. The people who tried to stop it already know how Hitler came to power, and the ones who should ask how it happened — the ones you should address your post to — either don’t care or actively want another Hitler.

But hey, at least you slammed the people who tried their hardest, rather than actually address conservatives themselves, which would have required you actually confronting them. Glad you feel better, though.

Women: he told you he’s taking your rights away and is already letting you die in hospital waiting rooms

Tradesman: he told you overtime and unions are gone

Veterans: he told you he hates you, pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington and is gutting the VA

Hispanics: he told you you and yours are getting deported and doesn’t care if you’re legal or not

Those on social security, Medicare, Medicaid or ACA: he told you he’s cutting/gutting these

Anyone with ties to Palestine: he told you he’s going to help Israel finish the job

We need a solution to this, because honestly the US just lost its democracy.

It’s 1933.

Any ideas on ways out of this?

Baffling. We already rejected this guy once when he had less baggage. His first term was objectively terrible.

So, I guess America has kings now, because Trump will never see another day in court for his crimes, and he’s not going to prison.

I just don’t have the strength anymore. I’m teetering on the brink of agreeing with the accelerationists and just letting it happen. The faster Trump ruins the country, the sooner we can rebuild it while we still have time to enjoy it.

Don’t think it won’t happen to you. When the incoming wave of Ukrainian refugees hits Europe, the populists that have already been growing in popularity will make their move. With the U.S. fallen, a lot of money and attention has been freed up to destabilize other countries.

It’s happening in Italy. It’s happening in the Netherlands. It’s happening in France. If you think you are ready for it, remember that we thought the same.

I would be more concerned if he were less stupid. Going by his last presidency he’ll spend half his time golfing and the rest driving through ineffective “red meat” policies to get attention from his base. Ultimately he’s just a pathetic man who craves attention.

What concerns me more is that his destruction of political norms means that someone who is similarly evil - but actually capable - might be able to use him as a template to take power in the future and make America into a dictatorship. Someone like Xi Jinping as opposed to an aging B-list celebrity.
