If you truly wish to treat Trump, the system that created him and the system that protects him like some aberration of your (supposedly) “perfect” and “infallible” liberal pseudo-democratic system little ole’ me certainly won’t be stopping you - but only one of us will be surprised at what is coming.
your (supposedly) “perfect” and “infallible” liberal pseudo-democratic system
Said no one ever. No one believes this. Some of us just believe more fact-based things than the ever-popular emotional plea from the accelerationists: “the whole thing is bad, you have to destroy it completely for any meaningful progress to happen”
Oh, you don’t have to - it is perfectly obvious that you and the rest of the liberal hive mind that is rapidly gentrifying Lemmy believe liberalism is (supposedly) “perfect.” That is the very reason you see people like Trump and the systemic violence he represents as an aberration and not a predictable product of this very system.
There’s a saying amongst leftists (actual leftists - not the co-opting shitlibs self-applying that label on here), “scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds.” Or, as Malcolm X put it…
“The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.”
MLK noted it, too, in his “Letters From A Birmingham Jail” - there’s nothing new about having a proper understanding of what liberalism really is.
This is just stupid. Ya know, pretending people believe stuff doesn’t will it into existence. And even if it did, all you’d be accomplishing here is feeling superior.
I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you… after all, if I am wrong (and, of course, I must be) all you have to do is “vote harder” and all those “aberrations” will magically disappear as soon as you vote another smiley face “good cop” into the Waffle House.
No, we should all take your lead and encourage everyone to not vote or vote third party
Oh, not at all… you’re going to vote Dem (or whatever pack of interests is masquerading as a third party in the US - as if that is really going to change anything) because no person in the US with a shred of integrity is allowed any other choice. The gaslighting demands it. You can, of course, choose not to play - but that is only slightly more meaningless.
Take a look over there, on the sidebar - it says “US Authoritarianism,” not “US Authoritarianism With An Easy Escape Button.”
Do you think all the homeless people in the US was made homeless because they didn’t vote? Or all the incarcerated people are in jails because they didn’t vote? It’s almost as if your vote is the last thing they rely upon to keep you in line and keep everything running the way they want, isn’t it?
It’s a lot more than just the particular political racketeer gaslighting you from the screen of your television in an election year.
You’re literally advocating for people to think their actions
Holy crap… do you liberals do anything other than shoot the messenger when you’re confronted with that which you should have already figured out for yourself because it’s literally been in front of your very nose all this time?
No, genius - I’m not the one telling you that your “actions don’t matter” - your political establishment is.
Did you miss this part?

It’s very easy to tell when your actions actually do start mattering… wanna take a guess how, liberal?
