      Global leftists want the fall of America

      Global leftists advocate for the fall of America

      America starts falling

      People suffer because America is calling

      It’s going to be difficult for global leftists to find a willingness for solidarity and cooperation with the suffering people, who feel like their suffering was the goal. But with a lot of creativity, might be possible.

      Now for sure, people were already suffering under Capitalism previously, but leftists are basically pitching the same " it has to get worse so it can get better" story as Elon Musk.

      Now if leftists had backed Kamala, and Trump won, suffering people would be flocking to the left, instead of blaming them.

      So… Sucks.

          I was explicit about not blaming leftists for Trump. I can’t say that leftists are the reason Trump won office. Trump likely could still have won without any leftists. BUT. There was/is a leftist/MAGA alliance, let me demonstrate.

          First:

          Genocide Joe

          Killer Kamala

          Donald Trump

          Next:

          Start a conversation with a leftist about Genocide Joe and Palestine, good chance they never bring up Trump.

          Start a conversation with leftist about Trump and Palestine, it’s impossible to avoid the conversation becoming entirely about Genocide Joe and the Democrats.

          Unconsciously, leftists have given Trump and MAGA a free pass on genocide. No nicknames, no blame.

          “some leftist didnt voted for kamala and now many palestinians get annihilated, love to see the pain on their face”

          No, more like, “is it now bad enough that MAGA loses its free pass on genocide now? Nope some leftist came to explain to everyone why it’s actually all Genocide Joe’s fault still”.

              You missed my point. It was always clear for +90% of leftists that trump was worst.

              To me, this feels like a retcon out of hindsight.

              The entire year up to election day all I saw was posts downplaying Project 2025, Trump’s authoritarianism, the threat to Democracy. Complaining that the media over-sensationalizes anything to do with trump. Accusing everyone worried about Trump that they’re just hysterical. Just crazy people thinking that every election ever, Democracy is at stake. And if you vote against Trump actually you’re just blue MAGA anyway with the blood of genocide on your hands.

              Maybe it was clear to leftists that Trump was the worst, but leftists sure didn’t make it clear to anyone else that they gave a shit.

            centrists and maga are aligned in their support for genocide. maga just has other policies in addition to genocide support.

              Unfortunately yes, but point being that maga gets a free pass on genocide.

              Even now the backlash against maga is mostly over Elon Musk taking a chainsaw to federal jobs and funding for social programs.

                Yes, your constituency has standards and theirs doesn’t.

            Oh there are plenty of nicknames for Trump out there, don’t be mistaken.

            My personal favorite is Traitor Trump for the alliteration like the ones you present.

            But even if you haven’t seen any of these, that doesn’t mean the Left hasn’t been critical of Trump. See, Trump after taking office has issued so many executive orders as to flood the zone that it has divided attention on the Left (and anyone else for that matter) for what to criticize first.

            Perhaps what Leftists mean when they say that it’s still Biden’s fault is that Joe should have ran a primary and put the best, strongest leader the Democrats could muster against the phenom Trump. But Biden had to wait until his utter humiliation on live TV for change to happen, even though Biden initially talked about being a 1-term president. He even said this back in 2015!!

            While yes the most blame right now should be placed on Republicans, Trump, and Elon, the next portion of blame needs to squarely sit with establishment Democrats, the DNC, and Biden. Many liberals will overlook this aspect by placing the next most blame on the voters, but with no federal Election Day holiday in the US and increasing anti-voter tactics on behalf of the GOP, no wonder more people don’t vote.

            But the Democrats need to and should have inspired those voters to vote anyhow, like Obama did in 2008 and Bernie did in 2016 and 2020. Instead we got monotone Kamala Harris whose only campaign positive was Tim Walz and his policy stances imo.

            I should disclaim that I’m a leftist and criticized Kamala all the way to the general election, but still voted for her when the time came.

        You are writing fanfiction here, I don’t think any serious leftist wants things to go sour for the US. As a leftist from outside the USA i often warn that the moment America crumbles we will all be struck by the sharpnell. If you take up some actual leftist literature, say some Noam Chomsky, some Baudrillard, some Felix Guattari, the overall feeling is " the contradictions of capitalism will mount and things will get considerably worse. " a lot of them suggest ideas on how to prevent these maladies, I’d recommend Guattari’s “Cartographies of desire” but sadly the USA seems like is on it’s full speed on course to ruin: facism in it’s government going progressively shameless, the over finatialization of it’s economy, the fact that political division and misinformation has been a strategy to undermine democracy used by both political parties, Oligarchy being so eager to turn “feudal” and several crisis of education. Things will get bad not because leftists wish it so, but because it will seem miraculous if they get better.

        Either way, Americans have never cared whst leftists have to say. Their mere words will not change your reality.

          You are writing fanfiction here, I don’t think any serious leftist wants things to go sour for the US.

          I’m not writing fanfiction, I’m taking online dialogue from self-described leftists at their word. Now every individual is different, maybe a bunch of these were misinformation trolls calling themselves leftists. Maybe they were exaggerating and they don’t want the entire US to fall, they just want to get rid of NATO got carried away being edgy online. I get whiplash from how fast the script can seemingly flip sometimes.

          sadly the USA seems like is on it’s full speed on course to ruin: fascism in it’s government going progressively shameless

          I was told over and over and over again that full blown fascism in the US was better than secret fascism. Maybe from trolls, but I heard it over and over.
