Idiots who have no critical thinking skills in charge of education folks.

    The US isn’t a democracy.

    You can’t blame voters when they’re being disenfranchised and there’s no progressive candidate on the ballot.

      You’re excuses for not doing what you can to oppose fascism. Nobody cares about the rationalizations of the people that do nothing when facing fascism.

      When it’s all said and done, social media will be considered just a tool fascists used to promote complacency to the stupid. Whatever you post on social media will just be put into that bucket, no one will think you were being bold because you posted some lame excuses on social media.

        Wut. There’s loads of people in the US who have died or been imprisoned fighting against fascism.

        How many people have tried to kill Trump at this point?

        The struggle is ongoing.

          Attempting to kill Trump or Charlie Kirk or whoever are violent acts which strengthen fascism in the US, it does not weaken it.

          When I say you’re in a fascist society I mean y’all spend your time promoting violence and hatred. All you need to do is vote for the political opposition to fascism (the Democrats) but you’ve been propagandized into thinking that’s a bad thing to do. Had Kamala Harris won the election, it would’ve been the end of fascism in the US for more than a generation. But you don’t really want it to end, you want hate and violence.

          Pro-violence leftism is in a symbiotic relationship with fascism. Most of the pro-violence left will join the fascists as soon as the fascists start targeting the people the “leftists” hate. We already see a lot of movement towards the likes of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

              There’s a faction of the Republican Party that are antisemitic and are anti-Israel, for obvious reasons. If they can present themselves as “anti-zionist” you will support them. You’ll be all “leopards ate my face” if they gain power, just like so many other before you.

              Since you’re susceptible to this sort of thing, it’s important to establish red lines and write them down. Fascists are good at boiling the frog, and if you don’t keep track, you’ll be looking the other way on a lot of red flags which will only seem obvious after you’ve already helped them gain power.
