Big problem is, if you just wait for them to be toppled, you’ll just be subjugated by the one doing the toppling.

You won’t solve the overall problems with big violent revolutions, you get it by making the oligarchs irrelevant.

They won’t understand after, either, as they’ll be told that Democrats are somehow keeping them from getting their due. And for some reason they’ll believe it.

Honestly, I know fuck-all about guns. I just thought I’d make a funny 😓

I think you’re forgetting the Southern Strategy.

That depends, is it a revolver or a semi-auto?

That’s a tagline, not a rule. You’d have better luck with referencing an actual rule, say Rule 5.

Man, if only you had decided on this before the US elected a giant orange wannabe-fascist… for the second time.

Not every Lemmy user isn’t either. Want more non-US content? Post it.

Don’t forget reactionary!

Clearly Spaniards have been stealing our eggs via the white house website. Somehow.

You can have an opinion, just don’t treat it as sacrosanct. Be open to change.

And sometimes things don’t have sides, except for those who want to divide people. You can think that two, or even more, people who are arguing both have good points… and maybe you add more.

True, enlightened discussion doesn’t have winners and losers… it has open minds.

Your point seemed to be “She sucks, maybe not as much as the other guy, but still sucks”, which is not exactly inspiring in and of itself. maybe you should do less to try and discredit the currently most viable defense we have against people like Trump.

You have serious problems if you needs additional inspiration beyond literal fascism.

The problem being that means too many people don’t show up, and only the fanatics get a say. And they have a lot more than us.

You would think, and yet they’re still around parrotting the same narrative. Hell, there’s at least one in the comments of this very post.

Assuming that anyone with a contrary opinion, no matter how ridiculous you might feel it is, is being disingenuous is an easy way to underestimate them.

Eventually some victims will stop accepting the abuse, and lash out at their abusers; even if it means much worse abuse or death.

Of course, if we wait for that to happen, we’ll already be well under the bootheel.

If you need a fully fledged fascist autocracy to happen before you get off your ass and do something… you’ve already failed.

They’ve already made inroads into the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon, right?

Bustin’ bustin’ bustin’…

Bazinga!
