Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I agree, but am I only the one distraught af about this? What are people in America going to do? The first thing fascism always does is eliminate the Communists and Socialists. Not like the US has done so far, make fun of them in the press and isolate them through media consent manufacturing, I mean really make sure that political philosophy is entirely extinct. They're going to shut down these forums, arrest anyone to the left of Biden, ignore paramilitary death squads killing people in the streets, before moving on to the natural fascism scapegoats: shoot kids in Palestinian protests and call them terrorists, arrest LGBTQ people for being groomers, set black and women rights back to the 1600's, shit like that. I know that happens a lot now but there are pockets where people can feel safe in this country. They're going to use national power to override cities and states and eliminate those pockets.

Fuck, this feels hopeless now. Even trading out Biden will not work anymore with that photo. I'd rather stay here where my support network is, but I feel like I'm going to have renew my passport and chance it in another country that I hope the US won't invade, or buy a gun, and I really, really don't want to have to fight a bunch of CHUDs. I want to relax in my apartment, hang out with friends, play games, and just live my life.

The other thing I'm worried about is a fascist America stomping out communism around the world even more than it does. Cuba will get fucked by a full fascist America off its shores and China hasn't been as internationally helpful as the USSR.

Yeah no there's a lot of reasons to be scared now. I think people are joking around to cope.

Ya I get that. I'll probably be doing that with enough time, maybe even later today. But right now I'm just feeling black pilled and emotional, I guess. I'm just like.... Fuck... What do?

We can only hope that the wannabe assassin was a disgruntled fascist upset that Trump publicly distanced himself from even the "legal fascism" of project 25. If they posted here, we're probably all going to be locked up in a week
