Our elected representatives are a reflection of us as a society, at least partially.

And Americans keep electing a lot of fascists and giving them power.

Meanwhile a bunch of the non-fascist federal-level electeds keep voting to arm the fascists' thugs brutalizing minority Americans too.

The most sideways non-move ever.

"we need the fascists we know to shoot folks in the face not the ones we dont".

Peaceful protest doesn't work. I've been saying this for years.
1. Vote.
2. Participate in Non-Violent Direct Action
That's it. Forget about your opinion. Nobody cares. These are fascists. They have no empathy.

If liberals ever re-take control of the US, any counter-assault of theirs on fascists will start with anarchists, to demonstrate their centrist reasonable non-radical credentials, and because within their "Countering Violent Extremism" framework we're *the same thing*: a threat to "law."

The entirely non-democratic Fed is the sole remaining component of the former Constitutional order that these individualist fascists haven’t yet decided they know how to replace with one they can dictate and manipulate. Popular sovereignty may yet persist, albeit hanging by the thinnest of threads

My non-reactionary take is the fascists have international solidarity--why can't we also build that in this *current context*

Anyway, that's it. We fucking hate our country as much as you do, and the options for what to do about that are narrowing significantly.

Jennifer Rubin notes that a "zillion studies" show Americans becoming more secular:
"And yet the presence of religious figures does something even for the non-religious. There's an inspiration. There's a spiritu...

👉 Vote 'em Out!

Like liberals deluded themselves to the point of mask-off hating marginalized people that voting and non-protesting are the answers, fascists are just everywhere and getting more unhinged with their genocidal hatred of minorities... While nobody is willing to acknowledge the obvious cause of this.

Like, pro-tip sweetie child non-Americans:

If you want America to stop being fascist towards you, then crazy idea: How about you *help and support the anti-fascists*?

Like, wow, what a concept! You actually help and support the people who are the only ones that can get you what you claim to want.

Didn’t you know:
Calling fascists fascists is a bigger problem than the fascism?

Only fascists should get to call non-fascists fascists

You do realize the pro-fascist right-wing controls:

The military
Law enforcement
Most of the private gun ownership
Most of the trained militias
Most of the weapons manufacturers

AKA the fascists control most of the conventional AND non-conventional warfare methods.

You do get that... correct?

I can't speak in any detail to the UK situation, but in the US the alleged non-fascists fell very obediently in line very, very quickly, a thing real non-fascists don't do.

Like, is there a reason you cannot grasp this?

There is no reality where non-fascists go up against people who significantly outnumber and outskill us and we win.

Your requested action would not actually stop what's going on, it would just make everything worse.

Why is this not sinking in?

Meanwhile you're asking for something that would just make things worse.

Non-fascists: Try to use their 10% of violence capacity to fight back.

Fascists: Use their 90% of capacity *including asymmetric capacity* to simply kill everyone.

Result: Fascists: 1, Non-fascists: Minus everyone who tried

Powerful fascists have defeated the weak do-nothing liberals non-stop for a solid year now, why would the next year be any different?

Feel the same way about non voters in my country. They ARE totally to blame. “They’re all the same” etc
No they’re not. Some are actual fascists. Do better.

Abhorrent. Gross. Shameful.

Every fucking Democrat taking part in this needs to get lost, permanently.

They can be persona non grata just like the other fascists.

Not that strange given Harris and the Dems tried to pretend they weren’t genocidal fascists while Trump and the republicans openly admitted they were. Seems perfectly normal/understandable that the supposed non fascist candidate would lose for embracing fascism while the fascist candidate would.

I never want to hear any non-American bitch ever again us "Yanks" don't know the nuances of their country.

As I'd already been tired of the hypocrisy since non-Americans don't understand our culture either but I definitely don't want to hear "hurr durr both fascists and their victims are the same".

Been reading posts/replies this evening & find it disturbing how users who claim to be female still use historically woman-hating terms when referring to women doing despicable things.

Call them out, please. But how about calling them tokens or fools or fascists or (insert a non-sexist term here).

It keeps getting worse. Racist fascists with guns make us all unsafe, but especially non-whites.

The whole reason I push for things like trying to win the next election is not just because I'm pacifist, but also because I realize violently solving this is a non-starter.

Our cultural alignments put most of the violence capacity in the hands of the fascists. That cannot be overcome anytime soon.

The fascists in the US government want to deport one in three to four people in the US ... So what they want is not to get rid of illegal entrants they want to get rid of non-whites ...

Next think they will be deporting Apache people to Mexico

Dumbass non-Americans really don't get that the right-wing has the strongest grip on violence here.

As the military, law enforcement, ICE, and civilian militias, are all primarily aligned with the fascists, and they all significantly outnumber and outskill would-be anti-fascist rebels.
