Presidential rhetoric corresponds to presidential action; it precedes and defines it. What a candidate says on the campaign trail connects to what he (or she) will do in office. And if Trump has had a single consistent message, it is that he’ll use the violent arm of the state to cleanse the nation of “scum” and “vermin,” whether immigrants and refugees or dissenters and political opponents like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi.
Americans who want to stop this — three things to do:
- Check your voter registration
- Vote early if your state allows
- Volunteer for the Harris campaign and for other Democrats near you
If only some group of people who were against fascism were loudly warning about the signs a decade ago and how we needed to band together and stomp out the embers before they became flames. If only a group like that existed surely they would have been listened to. Perhaps they could have labeled themselves Oppose Fascism or something catchier . . . /s
Look bro. The billionaires and corporations require that line goes up.
Issues like “imminent fascist dictatorship” and “genocidal terrorists seizing control of the most advanced surveillance apparatus in history” are all secondary to line goes up…
What you say is necessary, but not sufficient to answer the question of why capitalists prefer conservatism and tolerate fascism. The problem is there is no anti-capitalist party, or even a threat of one. Democrats want line go up too.
The Democrats are just as much a front for the shadow plutocracy that finances 90% of candidates at the state and federal level.
The only difference is one is a continuation of the “democracy” charade, while the other rips the mask off and officially kills it.
Please support my diverse, robust group of policies such as ‘line go up’ and ‘rate at which line go up go up’
