      “Captain! Captain they’re shooting at us!”

      Well, shoot back!

      Yeah, plenty of likely Brownshirts around me, and they may get the drop, but I’m not harmless.

      If trump was president right now, democrats would be at least more harshly condemning his actions in Gaza because it wouldn’t be politically expedient for them to downplay their complicity in genocide to maintain their current level of comfort and power. Gotta keep that machine running no matter what, I guess.

          Oh man and Trump is only more pissed now since feeling like he didn’t get to be the biggest man, and get his easy win election.

          If that wasn’t true before it definitely feels that way now.

          I was thinking more so if Trump won the election rather than succeeded the insurrection, but I’ll give you that. Fascists are gonna fascist. I just don’t see any way to stop creeping fascism so long as people are downplaying atrocities for the sake of damage reduction. We’re going to end up with fascism regardless since we’re doing nothing to prevent it.
