We love the Americans who are putting up a fight against fascism. We see you and hope that more join in.

      And they’re mad at anyone who tries to tell them that they can’t vote their way out of fascism.

        Yeh that time has passed. It’s understandable everyone has been brought up on that premise…we all have but the speed and the ferocity of how that changed is frightening.

        Can it be switched back on the outcome of a vote? I think not at this stage. Many seem to be waiting for one of those hero’s they see in the movies, for the virtue signalling celebrities, or for a band of politicians to come to the rescue. They ain’t. They are just as shocked and are busy hiding in fancier houses.

        More like mad at the people who refused to vote in the last election to try to prove a point, and landed us in this mess. You can’t vote your way out of fascism if you don’t vote.

          Sure. But being pissed off at non-voters in the last election doesn’t get you out of fascism either, waiting for a blue wave in the midterms is also a mistake since the controlled opposition are bought & paid for by the same people.

          The only way to rid themselves of fascism is for everyone to put their tools down, go into the streets, and strike until Trump’s paymasters have lost enough profit that he isn’t worth the trouble anymore.

            The simple truth is this shouldn’t have happened. People have been passive about the amount of money in politics and the rise in power of the billionaires. This denial has enabled a monster of. Situation.

        I’m not sure they’re mad. They’re just afraid. They’re afraid to become a target. They’re afraid that you’re right and they are contributing to the end of humanity. They are afraid they won’t be able to get ripe oranges in February. But until it directly affects their daily lives, they’re content to turtle up and ride it out.
