Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US?

  Yes.

  All they really care about is strengthening the oligarchy. Cutting taxes. Deregulation. If it benefits big business, they’re for it. And that’s where the conflict will arise. The loud and proud fascists want shit like mass deportations. The Reaganites know that’s bad news for a lot of businesses. Construction, agriculture, etc.

    Keeping the expendable labor violently repressed is literally one of the main “services” fascism renders to the liberal (ie, capitalist) order. What did you think all this “immigrant” hysteria was really all about?

    No, they don’t want deportations - that’s just what they tell the rank-and-file goons in order to get them to do the dirty work. They want all the expendable labour appropriately terrorized, under constant threat of state brutality and violently prevented from integrating with US society. Ie, it’s literally as old as the Book Of Exodus.

    So no. This is good for business. And the Reagen-fascists knows this as well as the Trump-fascists do. It’s just the vile way in which capitalism has always used fascism to further it’s own ends.
