Fascism isn't sustainable, at least not how Trump and Elon are doing it. I'm not saying this in a Pollyanna toxic positivity way, that's just looking at facts. It's ugly, and it will be uglier. We have a bunch of people who have no idea run a government facing a food crisis, a recession, several possible epidemics, and, of course, the undeniable climate crisis. That's the short list. The question is how do we stop as much suffering as possible. Not will Trump be stopped, but how quickly can it be done.

I mean I usually say don't attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity, but in this case it's BOTH

Social Security was already broken to give tax cuts to the wealthy. They will just keep blaming the Democrats.

historically these guys have been very destructive but not actually good policy makers

in reply to Ricki Crush Bandicute Tarr • • •"undeniable climate crisis" and yet, they're denying it.
My personal opinion is we might already be too late for a general strike. Maybe not but it doesn't seem to matter because we can't seem to organize one.
That leaves two things:
1. Allow the weakest to die while everyone else suffers
2. Revolution. Storm the Bastille
That's my humble opinion. Super duper cheerful stuff, I know 😁

Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:
"both sides the same"
"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"
"nothing matters, all is #corruption"
and other #toxicIdealism #psyop
these are not organic voices
they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer
don't get me wrong:
yes, the Democrats suck
but if you don't see the choice?
oof 🤦

Great work in disinformation bashing there. Kudos.
There is also my personal favorite:
“Here is a horrible thing Republicans do and why you should be angry at the Democrats about it.”
