    The third great realignment is in progress.

    Mark my words, the Dems will continue transforming into the strong on crime, borders, and provide a promise of “responsible administration” in alliance with capital finance and continue to shed the coalition of interest groups that constitute the “activist base”.

    Meanwhile the labor movement will continue to chuddify and align with extractive industries, isolationist / protectionist manufacturing, and homophobes making the GOP the home for the actually existing labor movement, which will be reactionary.

    Most of the LG in LGBT will go with finance capital as they have been gentrified now, B will just get lip service and the T dropped out into the desert like an pet bought at Christmas.

    Leftism will be split between the progressive wing who will prefer the civility cult of the Dems vs chuddy transphobe MAGA commies.

    Please, Xi.

      :/ one of my biggest fears, and it feels very realistic.

      I was just thinking about the most revolutionary moments in American History, specifically the civil war and the antifascist war (WWII) followed by the civil rights movements. In both cases we ended up in a forced alliance with progressive libs. That’s going to happen again, isn’t it? And they will, yet again, refuse to do what is necessary to prevent fascism from bubbling up in the future. We’re just going to ride this merry go round forever, seemingly getting closer to socialism but never actually getting there, like running toward a door in a bad dream
