eh again, I know it’s hip to say America now is Nazi Germany but it’s not quite at that point yet. It’s like late 20s but not even early 30s yet because there isn’t the same level of widespread violence as there was in the early 30s between fascists, communists, and anarchists.

Again, I’d say the rhetoric is very much there, which is terrifying, but it’s not quite as bad yet in actions. The fact that we can even have this type of conversation is terrifying too.

Oh, they can go quite a bit further. We haven’t seen them outwardly doing the entire Hitler/Mussolini thing yet, but we’re getting close. The rhetoric is similar, but the actions aren’t quite as bad yet.

He needs to be investigated. He literally knows where the bodies are buried. He needs to be threatened with decades in prison, and only then would he maybe flip.

I hope you complained to them and showed them the evidence. Documentation is so important, and talking to them about how they would like to remedy the situation.

By the way, they now own almost every major media conglomerate, so absolutely they will downplay and sanewash it. Call your congresspeople constantly.

Yep… we had maybe 100 of those green nail things on all sides of our house after we got our roof replaced. Really unsafe and infuriating.

This is fantastic. Don’t fuck it up now, Democrats.

It’s the one thing that tangibly affects the uninformed median voter. Everything else can be ignored or blamed on immigrants or something, but paying like $20 extra at the pump every week is right in their face.

I volunteer with a voter advocacy group, and from our internal analysis that I just saw, Texas Latino early voting is at 2.1 M as of 2 days ago. To put it into perspective, the 2024 presidential election only had 2.0 M. Just one data point to illustrate that turnout is HUGE.

gtfo with the accelerationism. Democrats also serve the capitalist state which has committed numerous atrocities in the name of profits, but they’re way better for the common worker than the alternative.

Bozo.

Does. Not. Matter.

They’re planning shenanigans, so everyone needs to VOTE no matter what. The American experiment’s continuation depends on you voting.

Yep absolutely. All of these major phone companies work in tandem with the USG to create lots of backdoors. It’s not a secret.

Yes to most of what you’re saying, but

The US government knows everything everyone is doing

No. That’s what they want you to think. It does know a lot more than we think, but nowhere near everything. It likely does know where your phones (aka you if you’re with it) are at all times, despite having GPS on or off. It also likely collects everything or most things you do online unless you’re really careful with Tor and what not, even then it’s not clear.

Yep, and they’re already deploying ICE to polling places. I just saw an example in Florida, where they “had to pull someone over and it happened to be a few feet away from a polling place” and they “happened to stay there for a long time”.

Buckle up, stock up on necessary items for food, water, and safety, and VOTE.

Also please do some phone banks to get others to vote too. Environmental Voter Project is a great organization that I’ve done for the last few weeks.

It’s not hard at all, each session is only an hour, and you make calls at your own pace. It feels great to actually get people out to vote, because instead of just having a 1x impact by casting your own vote, you could have a 100x impact if you encourage 100 people to vote (which isn’t hard, you can hit 100 in like 3 one hour sessions). This legitimately makes a difference in elections, take a look at their results.

There will be a massive blue wave, but Republicans aren’t simply letting themselves be Constitutionally and democratically removed from power. They’re not leaving or losing, they know this is their last stand and will do anything to keep power. They’ve said they will cheat, not accept results, and essentially coup the government when they lose.

Hell they are engineering the SC seat for Lindsey Graham’s sister. It’s like the chairman of the board’s daughter in 30 Rock, just complete idiot but still installed in that role due to family.

No he won’t.

I understand the feeling, but it really does feel different this time. There’s a groundswell for the first time in my life of a real democratic socialist movement, or even just social democracy. Also as the authoritarian regime pushes more and more, there will be more and more stochastic “terrorist” attacks, like assassinations and what not. It’s not going to be some major revolution, because at least America isn’t even close to that yet, but the limited “force” will get the ruling elite to start thinking about how large the actual opposition is.

…then they’ll crack down even harder of course. Maybe that will cause even harder push back, but I’m not sure at this point.

Kings and peasants alike are just made of meat at the end of the day, and if you poke them they spill out.

She’s not going to do shit. This is just asking for a payoff, and she’ll get it. She’s not releasing anything.
