I don’t owe Dems shit. I owe society my effort to prevent the orange-bad getting power again. We’re in danger of becoming a fascist state.
If you’re are forced to choose between two pro-genocide candidates I’m afraid we have already passed fascism. Or maybe Palestinians don’t count as humans so there’s still time to save the US before fascism gets to the real people?
In danger? Look around you, we are there.
Hyperbole downplays the true risk if fascism becomes the mainstream in this country. We don't have people being disappeared. We will if it becomes the main.
We don't? The Patriot Act says US Citizens can be held indefinitely without trial, and tortured if they're accused of terrorism.
Covert fascism has been the mainstay for decades, The only difference now is that covert fascism Is becoming more blatant.
We’re in danger of becoming a fascist state? We just had a four year period of having a Democrat as president, with the Democrats also having a two year period at the start of that where they controlled both the Senate and the House. Are you telling me that the Democrats did nothing in that time to counter the threat of the US falling under fascist rule?
If the Democratic elected officials didn’t consider that to be important, why should we?
