All their fear mongering about Trump is imagining a scenario where America treats middle class white liberals like how America already treats immigrants, Palestinians, queer people, etc

In fact most mainstream American political fears are just "what if white people became like black people"

And yet they yell at leftists for being so comfortable, that we will not vote for biden-nibble and will usher in cheeto-man

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

reminds me that the worst fear of the capitalist class is that they might have to become workers themselves

[-] [email protected] 56 points 3 weeks ago

You would think with how convinced they seem of this kind of doomsday scenario, that you'd see a lot of liberals organizing. I suspect they are enjoying the pretense of fighting an epic battle of good vs evil (where evil is thwarted by an election), but deep down they know that "nothing will fundamentally change" (at least as far as their treats are concerned).

[-] [email protected] 46 points 3 weeks ago

It's so disingenuous too. America already brutalizes huge masses of people and liberals don't care.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago

Look how they cheered on the college protests getting smashed up. Or go on your local "overheard in _______ town" Facebook page and watch them braying for homeless peoples blood.

They’ll do what the woman’s march did and walk in big crowds doing nothing

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

And get permits!

They really like the trappings of being revolutionary, but are all just hoping that Biden wins so they don't have to skip brunch.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

Uh, I might also like those trappings... But I don't think they'll even skip brunch. Really they'll removed and moan about single issue (genocide) voters, and then idk... increase their monthly contributions to the DNC?

That's about it.

It's called vote

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I get that. I meant that with the stakes so high, and the outcome so uncertain, that they might be thinking of a backup plan.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

The backup plan is to just fundraise like crazy off all the angry liberals who had their brunch interrupted and then do nothing.

It worked in 2016

The backup plan:

Trump is going to lock up half the country who agree with him on 90% of politics?

[-] [email protected] 40 points 3 weeks ago

dang I guess you shouldn't risk it by donating to democrats then, shucks

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

They are never mad when their money goes to fund a pied piper strategy.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago

Rump is going to be dictator, dissolve the whole federal government and put white people in concentration camps on day 1. Wee need to vote !!!

[-] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

If that's the case, I'm voting for trump.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think this is true, but it makes me imagine that they are going through a process in their head of a "We're Resisting fascism as effectively as possible; What do fascists do to their most effective Resisters?" type logic to act like they are on the front lines of a historic struggle for doing such acts of heroism as having a monthly subscription to ActBlue or whatever.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

At the end of the day, we are all just shit posting on the toilet.

It's fun to sneer at libs with you all though!

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago
[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's exactly why I can't risk voting for Joe Brandon.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Shit, I’ve seen project 2025 fear mongering on here as well

[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

Idk project 2025 does have me kinda worried as a trans woman. Like I'm making arrangements to GTFO if they do some kind of nationwide crackdown on HRT somehow (I sorta doubt this will happen but who knows)

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

As if that's not how every administration wouldn't have been handled in our country. Well, except Biden. He's not a "get rid of all the fascists and install yesmen that work for me" type. The rest is just boilerplate Republican bullshit that libs will be supporting in ten years.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

First they came for the DNC donors

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The solution is to rally for sanity or something. With guest appearances by celebrities, a merch table, and voter registration.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Vote or die!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

You’d think they would support defunding the police if they actually believed this.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that would solve a problem, and you can't fundraise unless you're a victim.
