These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

      Some people only have information from one side of the story. If Trump wins, he will likely try to mimic what both Putin and Orbán did with the media.

          It will have even less so, but the only “bad media” will be the ones that doesn’t use “trans groomers” and “illegal migrants” in their headlines…

            So: start organising to fight fascism immediately. We’ve been saying this for years: you don’t fight fascism at the urns. Unionize, make collective grassroots power, read leftist theory (the only ones who managed to stop fascism in the last century).

              Managed to stop fascism? That was a collective effort, but ok. Stop totalitarian dictatorship? Not at all.

      While you’re mostly right, it isn’t really half because we have this fun thing called the electoral college, that likes to make Republicans win.

        It’s not even close to half. Republicans are a quarter to a third of the country.

        It’s voter suppression and Democrats being the biggest possible fuckups they could be at every fucking opportunity.

        You could watch the reactionism ramp up as they slipped into the minority during Clinton. White men struggling to deal with the loss of their relevance has basically been the story of American politics since.
