Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?

Violent protests probably. Even republicans don’t want fascism. But there is nothing we can do without a hero assassin… At least 3 of them actually.
Violent protests
this is what the fascists want. any excuse whatsoever to declare martial law, impose curfews, ‘papers, please’ checkpoints, and ‘papers, please’ thugs going door to door, looking for anyone they don’t like so they can send them to the concentration camp.
thoughtcrime doesn’t entail death, thoughtcrime is death
We’re already at the thoughtcrime stage…
Funny how Republicans online were the ones crying about that, but now they’re salivating at the idea of deporting Mamdani for the crime of being a socialist. Can’t have those political opinions, that’s wrongthink!
They said it before trump was sworn in. It will be a bloodless coup of the left allows it. The options are fascism or fight.
don’t act like they’re not going to do that anyway. if no one rises up and does real damage, they’ll stage something and enact martial law
That’s not a reason to avoid resistance. They created the situation. The violence is on them. Hopefully, literally.
You can show up to a protest armed to the fucking teeth without firing off a single round. That’s how those anti lockdown fucks got what they wanted in 2020 (and one of many reasons why COVID exploded).
Even republicans don’t want fascism.
They don’t? How can you tell?
Well fascist were socialist and socialism is communism, so obviously.
/s
Am I missing some elementary knowledge? How is fascism resemblant to socialism?
Even republicans don’t want fascism
Yes they do.
No they don’t lol. The maga cult does. But actual thinking republicans don’t want it.
In other words, 0 Republicans don’t want it.
Lots of Republicans don’t like trump anymore. Lowest approved president of all time.
Might wanna check how long the line of succession is
It’s starting to look like the movie “Desperado” (or perhaps the entire “El Mariachi” trilogy)
can’t wait till the dude with chain gun in the brief case comes to save the day…
The French figured out how to solve that particular problem hundreds of years ago. Guillotines are efficient and reusable.
yeah goes through every secretary.
Even republicans don’t want fascism.
Um, sorry but have you been paying attention for the last eight years?
The people left in the GOP are driving at full speed towards a fascist dictatorship. It’s not Trump, it’s the entire cadre of sycophants and Nazis he’s set up to protect him.
Laura Loomer’s “Alligator lives matter” didn’t suggest that? Nor the fact that she was celebrating the creation of a new concentration camp to round up and possibly murder ALL Latinos in the US? (And selling merch to go with it!)
What about Kristi Noem filming propaganda in front of cages full of prisoners in El Salvador?
The six SCOTUS judges who are eagerly giving Trump every immunity and power he wants?
Ron DeSantis creating a second one-stop deportation centre?
The US Republican Party ARE fascists, and are ecstatic over how things are turning out.
If you call yourself a Republican and are against this, you’re either a hypocrite, or a liar.
Only 3? Found the optimist!
Wario, Yoshi, and Dinkey King? (Could’ve been Diddy Kong, but I think he’s been having some legal issues or something lately…)
I didn’t even know he knew Kid Cudi, either.

A “Trump Boat Parade” in Jupiter, Florida, on Sunday was joined by neo-Nazis waving swastika flags, shouting “White Power,” “Heil Trump,” and “Make America White Again!”
What’s been truly revolting is in watching how many liberals have jumped on the fascism bus. Kristen Gillibrand is fully in bed with the Silicon Valley techno-fascists. Richie Torries can’t get enough genocide, whether its via our migrant concentration camps at home or our outsourcing of genocide to the Middle East via Israel and Saudi Arabia. Sitting Democrat NYC Mayor Eric Adams has gone all in on MAGA, after receiving pardons for his chronic misuse of public office and funds from the President. Gavin Newsom is flirting with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon as a podcast host. Half the 2026 Texas Dem Congressional slate is fully in favor of turning the US/Mexico border into the new Iron Curtain. The Florida Democratic Party wants a Bay of Pigs 2.
It’s Italy in 1924 all over again. Oops! All fascists.

Yeah people thinking the Democratic Party is going to save them are delusional IMO. They are part of it and many of them have been working towards the same goal. They are a false opposition at best. Not all of them, some of them are legit, like Bernie, and look how he has been treated by the Dem establishment. Any real resistance is marginalized.

I thought the dems could save us in 2016. I then believed they would save us in 2020. The last chance I gave them was 2024.
Ill vote in their direction only in the hopes they can hit the brakes but overall, they prove again and again they enable this shit and take no interest in stopping it.

I have been voting against Republicans for nearly 30 years and still have yet to see Dems hit the brakes. They do let off the gas some of the time, and since they are the only ones who have a chance of winning they get the vote by default.
If voting wasn’t so quick and easy where I live it would be difficult to convince myself to put in the effort. It should be this easy everywhere.

That’s why you gotta primary out the ones that don’t actually do their job. Like if it’s too late to primary one out then yeah vote for the dem over the overt fascist but that’s a last resort. If you have the time, check and see if any actually good candidates are running in the primaries and see if you can volunteer and help them out with their campaign. Obviously not everyone has the time or ability, but every little bit helps if you can

It’s really telling that every time somebody wants to point out that some Democrats are still decent, they cite an Independent

Bernie’s Independent, not a Democrat.
