The French resistance was brutal and inhumane. They unequivocally were the good guys

Optics matter when you’re feeding talking points and pictures to the fascists who will try to maintain their power in two years. The only serious check we will have against these people will be if Dems take back Congress

I can think of a check on their power that would be more effective, but if I speak on it, I will be damned to yik yak jail

Because that worked so well in 2020 and 2024. Things have only gotten worse. Even if the dems take back power, it will just be a pause, not a stop.

Gonna have to do it almost 20 times if you want the fascism totally out. Winning elections is more doable

We need things to change faster than electoralism allows.

So in 40 years we can finally stop fascism. What a relief.

Elections got us in this situation in the first place because Democrats refuse to grow a spine and actually fight for ANYTHING other than “I’m not quite as bad as that other guy”

Worked fairly well in 2020…national guard wasn’t firing on reporters under Biden’s presidency

Joe Biden should’ve personally put one in the back of Trump’s head on January 21st, 2021 if Democrats were serious lmao

So you suggest we Mario kart the entire line of <insert name of HBO show> instead? That’s impossible

I distinctly remember police forces brutalizing CUNY protesters under Biden.

National guard hasn’t been federalized to quell a protest since the 60s

Anonymous #2 14w

Yeah that’s because the protests under Biden weren’t about the cops themselves, they only start shooting reporters when their feelings are really hurt by protests about them directly

January 6th was the perfect opportunity to dismantle the Republican Party with a popular mandate. Instead, joe Biden doubled down and said we need strong republicans in Congress.

Impossible my ass dude plenty of countries have wiped out their fascist elements, but Democrats just wanna play nice with the fascist element

Yeah that was stupid of him, but he was implying that the Republican Party no longer existed after Jan 6. I highly doubt that had any sort of electoral impact

I don’t see communists doing it either. The entire plan for this was released in an ABC show called Designated Survivor ffs. No one’s done it yet?

MAGA didn’t do it either. Maybe it’s not that easy?

I don’t think you’re being malicious but you genuinely have to start believing that we can do better. Electoralism has not led anywhere in 40 years. It will not lead anywhere given 40 more.

See but I’m not saying the Democrats should’ve done it from outside the government. They should’ve charged Trump with incitement to insurrection and executed him within the bounds of the law.

They couldn’t even get him convicted by the senate for that. Then SCOTUS said everything was fine

Surely we can do better, but I don’t see any solutions being proposed besides Mario kart characters and paying for cars just to set them on fire

Don’t charge him in the Senate, charge him in US Superior Court like everyone else and carry out the sentence before SCOTUS reviews it. Trump has shown us that SCOTUS is utterly toothless, fuck em

All liberals are antiwar, unless it’s the current war. All liberals love protest movements, as long as it’s not the current one. Just how these things always go.

The U.S. education system always fails us. The French Revolution was good, but for some reason the reign of terror was bad. The civil rights movement was good, but the black panthers went too far. The Indian wars were bad, but the Cheyenne Dog Men were bad.

Torture? I’d say based but I’m anti-torture so that would be hypocritical of me

Yup. It’s a hope of mine when I finish my degree to really debate those movements in a class rather than just say “oh they’re bad” bc A) it’s important and B) students need to learn to be critical thinkers and back up their positions
