    Listen, I know we are the tiny bubble, so posting this here has no negative effect — but 2028 has to be about people on the right and left joining together to repudiate fascism and totalitarianism. Who cares about the past under these circumstances. I hope that Newsom’s lack of prog cred gives him cred with the pugs who hate Trump. Or are lukewarm on Trump.

        not pictured are all the ignorant morons that believe billionaire news media that sanewashes the people those pictured in hoods follow.

        reality has nuance, removing it hurts us all.

      The right does not think this is fascism. So, there goes that fantasy.

      There has to be economic pain so bad that they can’t refute it anymore. That’s our only hope.

      That or Trump dying before the end of his term.

      The right wants this. You are hopelessly deluded if you think they will lift a finger to prevent it. Double if they have to work with the libs they despise.

        the “right” that you refer to doesn’t exist, because the overton window has been slammed really fucking far right. There is a sea of idiots somewhere in the middle, Trump was able to take advantage of that, telling them he would fix it all quickly. That lie will only become harder to ignore as these same idiots struggle more and more to afford groceries.

        These are the people that are not hard right, but they are hard dumb. Reality and struggle is the best teacher and they’re about to get a lesson they have never had before in their safe relatively comfortable American lives.

        By just crossing them all off as ‘the right’ and that they want fascism is foolish and self-defeating. Yes the far right DO want this, but everyone that isn’t some semblance of ‘left’ are absolutely not the only ones that don’t.

        Blanket statements provide no value, only serve to remove nuance, and the removal of nuance only serves fascists.
