1. Unlimited government surveillance

  2. Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits

  3. Banning leftist social media

  4. Sicing cops on students all over the country

  5. Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven’t seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn’t bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we’ve just been hit with, seriously wtf

    This checks out with what I was thinking. They know they’re killing the youth vote and they’re going to be ready with their ideological response when they lose in November. Just spitballing here but maybe they help republicans pass compulsory military service to fix the enlistment problem and the Dems say it’s the youths fault for not bending the knee in spite of them doing everything they could to turn them away. It could be something else but I get the feeling they going to start feeding the youth into the wood chipper even faster and more deliberately and sell it to the radlibs as just desserts for not bending the knee in November despite them doing everything they could to kill the energy of the youth vote.
