we’vr had sleeper cells of nazis and bootlickers on “both” sides of the aisles for a century or so because they’re all actually aged capitalists. When capitalists feel like their quality of life and profit is threatened, by labor or technology, they will work toward two things:

Moving the overton window in small steps as they test the waters and then implementing actual fascism in the waters where their tests succeeded.

Notice the areas with martial law are not really big on public ownership of guns or understanding of castle doctrine? That’s on purpose.

We never had a true democracy and that fact is coming around to bite us and everyone else in the ass again. We don't have Christian denominations anymore, we have sports teams. We don't have politics, we wage culture war. God damn bless america... I fucking hate it here

The us was never wholly good. Maybe 3/5ths good, at best.

We clearly need help. Will it be from wherever you're from?

I was just thinking this! They’re bringing the meme to real life.

Sometimes, I don't even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they've had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.

Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn't a great time to join the Union.

Come one man, you know where because it's already happening.

2/3s vote! Because brown.

Why do you assume incompetence when evil has seemed more appropriate since pretty much forever?

For the same reason old white men can debate their authority over woman's body. Murica.

Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn't going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.

I just learned about the brown paper bag test from a new episode of The Proud Family

The slope is vertical. We might catch ourselves before we crater, but I don’t have much hope.
