There’s always been a significant portion of American society that would have much preferred if the US would have intervened in WW2 on behalf of the Nazi instead of the allies. Imo that subsect of our population has never really changed in their belief, they just moderated their language to make their beliefs more digestible.

The amazing thing to me is that Communism has consistently been a dog whistle for these people for generations, being a substitute for a plethora of slurs aimed at a plethora of different people.

They are now attempting to utilize the same defunct laws that their grandparents made to strip away what little power we the people still have. Strange that there are laws against communist political parties but not against fascism…the actual people we engaged in a totalitarian war against.

The Clintons are largely responsible for the democratic party’s tolerance and enabling of fascism. They are responsible for popularizing thirdway politics in the US, and making compromise the Democrats only real priority.

Of course they are going to endorse the center right, that is the party platform that they’ve been building since the 90s. I honestly do not know why the conservatives demonized Hillary so much, the Clinton’s basically built their empire compromise by compromise.

Maybe we make an ethical compromise and say stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to raise children.

Imo stupid is not really passed through genetics, it’s more an issue of exposure.

I feel like Trump is kinda the type of guy who would say shit just to stir the pot. Plus, fascist love for the public to think they are more competent than they really are, especially if it makes them seem like they are the underdog pulling one over on the establishment. Same thing works for musk.

In that scenario it’s safest to split payment, 400 in Bitcoin and 400 in meth. You gotta diversify your portfolio.

An easier way to avoid taxes while I collect my bribes…don’t mind if I do!

The rats are stealing the cargo as they abandon ship, what a bunch of enterprising rodents we have.

original comment I responded to was “let’s not act like a gun control zealot is what the US “left” needs right now”.

Yeah…? And your response was so off point that even you decided it was worth deleting.

Right now, we don’t have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant.

Lol, the person you were responding to was specifically calling out David Hoggs and the DNC dying on the hill of gun control.

This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.

Wut? We were specifically talking about David hogg what does mamdani have to do with our conversation? You might remember what you were talking about about if you didn’t delete your own comment, fucking coward.

Runs business dependent on under paying his immigrant employees…votes for president that is claiming he will kick out all the immigrant workers… profit?

How fucking braindead are these people? You’d think I would get used to being illuminated to just how ignorant a large sector of the population is, but every time it just feels like a kick in the teeth.

Hope this guy ends up fucking homeless.

Yeap, they’d rather lose to someone like trump than win with someone like AOC or Sanders. Who in reality are pretty much average centerist when compared to most liberal countries.

Democrats adopting third way politics have basically led this country to fascism.

It’s not really based on facts, more of a matter of opinion. I agree that the democratic party needs to be shakin up, I just think it needs guidance from a more militant left winged voice to counteract just how far right the GOP has gotten.

I didn’t say it was? However, if we currently had stricter gun control who do you think the current administration would be attempting to utilize those laws to prosecute?

If we had a fair legal system and our political leaders weren’t literal fascist, I would absolutely advocate for strict gun control. That’s just not the political landscape we currently inhabit.

If those laws were present today, you would have the ATF hunting down every brown person with a gun and right winged chuds would be free to keep their massive arsenals, ensuring that christo-fascist maintain an absolute monopoly on violence.

And in the face a fascism we should be telling people on the left to disarm themselves?

He’s better than the establishment in the DNC, but that like saying oral herpes is better than getting your lips ripped off by a pitbull. It’s still not a great scenario either way you look at it.
