the speed at which the US is falling apart is astounding
complete subversion of the organs of government by corporate forces
the almost immediate erasure of anything trans-related
families being ripped apart, people being deported and dehumanized in general
it feels like a prelude to the violence
the tech freak fascists have the reins now
the thiels, musks, and yarvins of the world get to see their vision carried out in amerikkka
the world burns
That’s the point. The system is designed to punish. You’re supposed to be afraid.
They want people to get a taste of what will happen for thinking that they could withhold their votes to defy the system. If you don’t vote for us, we’ll make sure you’ll suffer even worse.
The real question is how many people who sat out of the election will start voting for Democrats again.
voted blue like a chump. At the time I thought it was just a meaningless red state vote but now i feel like it was than worthless, it was actively harmful… anything that legitimizes demonrats as a party is just feeding into the same mechanisms that let them snuff out any hope for change over the last 40 years
and even then they would still punish people like me for being too far left and not buying into third-way-ism so fuck em. fuck em all and never let anyone tell you otherwise
it’s been said before but electoralism really is a fuck
good question, honestly after the biden administration i feel like their remaining goodwill is rapidly dwindling. Beyond being completely ineffectual to begin with theyre now an opposition party with zero power, so theyre worse than useless… people are really mad rn and theyre not doing anything, whether that’s because they won’t or can’t doesn’t really matter I think
