Yeah we're fucked. We are actively watching the rise of fascism in this country with rhetoric like this
They're getting in line and showing what side they're on, and they're doing it fast. Bezos just got the jump on it.
They're on the side of letting fascism steamroll the underclass as long as they can get theirs before the house of cards crumbles.
It's almost like the wealthy have always wanted this route. Now that the cat's out of the bag, they can take the masks off.
Good luck everyone, be kind as best you can and arm yourselves.
This seems to me like a signal that Democrats are formally cementing as a conservative / neoliberal party. Which makes sense. I guess maybe the upside is that maybe it will carve out room for an adjacent political body to the left as well, sort of like what happened with the tea party.
I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they'd rather lose than bring in progressives. So it'd have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time
Exactly. If there’s a cool local group, join it. If there isn’t, the beauty is that it can start anywhere, like in your workplace or neighborhood. Start talking to people and hanging out with them regularly. Then start organizing and working around small things that make a difference, like litter pickups. From there you can build a greater political consciousness and work together with other groups and build power outside the political system
We have been long past that point, it just took this election to make it obvious. This is who America is, and who it has always been. Denying just leads us further down the same hole.
It is what they support. All I hear at work is how Democrats need to be assassinated. Just the bad ones, they say.
