    Most lib shit I’ve seen today. Laws aren’t going to end fascism lmao (and Congress won’t pass laws that would end fascism if such a thing existed).

      These laws are for state governments to enact. Congress won’t do it, but blue states might if they grow spines.

        blue states might if they grow spines.

        Except they won’t, because their masters don’t want them to. If you think this is a spine problem then consider this: Would state governments capitulate so readily if Trump was a leftwing authoritarian promising to abolish private property? My point applies as much to state legislatures as it does to Congress, because while MAGA is a Republican project fascism is bipartisan.

      Step 1 to utopia: get congress to pass something for the good of the people.

      I don’t know, seems easy enough.

        Except it’s not, because that’s not its purpose. The point of Congress is to pass laws for the good of the rich; expecting it to help average people without a (optionally metaphorical) gun to their head completely misunderstands American politics.

      nah, the post about ‘how to stop a dictator’ is the most lib shit. (you are right about Congress though) that is why citizens have to write these laws.
