    Just now it’s affecting more of white people are they realizing how bad it is. Make no mistake though, marginalized groups like PoC and LGBT+ have always been crushed under the boot of a puritanical, racist, fascist government.

          That’s true, but I think there’s a sizeable portion of people who want to believe that nothing has significantly changed for American minorities in the past year. They didn’t bother voting in 2024, and now they want to believe that nothing got worse for their queer and poc neighbours.

          When communists talk about “controlled opposition”, this is what we mean. A billionaire goes to the DNC and says “Here’s a consultant I spent millions on to help your campaign”. The consultant has secret orders to sabotage the campaign and says “oil jobs are very important to voters, brag about all the oil jobs you’re going to create”. Kamala brags about the oil jobs and loses the support of the left. Kamala loses and ICE starts shooting people in the streets. And the left doesn’t learn because we don’t want to admit we messed up.
