    The lib politicians did not roll over to facism, they rolled over for money ... for loosely regulated and barely looked at Super PAC donations and withdrawals. They rolled over for legalized corruption. Fascism is just the gift wrap that they had to take those presents in.

    This lady is kind of right. We are not likely to vote our way out of this.

    That's the point. It could have been anything the politicians and news media cooked up. They could have created a crazed religious movement, a hate filled campaign against another country, they could attack another religion ... except MAGA went "fuck it" and checked "All of the Above".

    It's not about the message. Tyranny does not thrive in peace. It is about directing the weak willed portion of the population that they have complete control over.

    Idk, they seem okay with it as long as they're the ones in control.

    Just look at their responses to the election it's not that we ran an unpopular candidate and gop lite policies it's because we didn't go far enough to the right!

    Agreed. I wonder if the Dem/Rep political parties are about to flip and trade conservative/liberal policies again.

    Doubtful. Most we can hope for is both splitting up.

    And have many smaller ones

    We can't help it, we need more theory according to one post, but critical reading and critical thinking are hard, especially when even secondary school reading comprehension has abysmal standards. I read better than most I know and struggle with it.
