What are you talking about? Literally this whole thread started with me pointing out. It’s worse now than it was last year. I never said it was the best situation last year. What do you mean talking about Good cop? I have been honest.
You do realize that calling what we had before Trumps second term a democracy does not mean that. I think it’s the best right?
What did you think the relationship between liberalism and fascism is? Good cop - bad cop. Carrot - stick. I’ll ELI5 it for you - when liberal lies ceases to protect the status quo, they stand aside and allow the fascists to take over and protect the status quo through unbridled state violence.
Did you notice how the COVID pandemice highlighted the class divisions between the billionaire parasites and the rest of us? Did you notice how the decades-old liberal propaganda machine surrounding Israel came crashing down just recently?
Do you see the lies starting to fail?
You - and the rest of us - are now stuck watching the “stand aside” part of the process in action. This means… no - we can’t go back to what was last year, or before 2016, or any time before this. And no, we cannot “strengthen” democracy because we never had any to begin with. What we had was a piss-poor democracy-knockoff which, anti-democratic as it fundamentally was, is now seen as unnecessary by our political establishments and it’s billionaire handlers - if Trump and his myrmidions’ behaviour hasn’t clued you in to that by now I don’t know what will.
I never heard that reference before in regards to fascism and liberalism.
That’s the left’s fault in general, I’m afraid - many of us are too afraid to admit (either to ourselves or others) what liberalism really is and always have been. And that’s costing us - it hampers our ability to actually explain to people why everything we are seeing is happening in the way it is.

Ah, thanks. I never heard that reference before in regards to fascism and liberalism.
But I’m not a liberal. I’m a leftist.
Also I never said it was possible to go back. I just said it was better back then compared to now.
