It really just seems like fearmongering about things most marginalized people go through everyday. Is it just the same” old things will continue to get worse as a result of everything infinitely growing” that’s been happening since the US was founded? I saw some goon from the heritage foundation go on tv and threaten leftists but idk if it has crazy uncle energy or whether that’s something someone with actual power is thinking

    truckload of cope in here, ‘US fascism’ is not a 1/0 toggle, the heritage foundation is not at the beck and call of the democrats to scare their base. these are fascists openly declaring exactly how they’d like the make the current fascism to be worse, and in such a public way that they think the liberals can no longer check them.

    there’s voting being meaningless in a bourgeois dictatorship but that is a distinct argument from thinking all our enemies are the same, they are making it clear how they aren’t.

      Who is under the illusion that all our enemies are the same if people point out how dems are similar to republicans it’s point out the contradiction that many people believe these are radically different parties. But I think people also recognize the differences because socialists must always be aware of each parties contradictions and how to react and organize accordingly
