    Don’t misunderstand, part of me is glad that it’s going to be Harris and Walz, but I have to be realistic with my expectations. A slightly slower crawl towards fascism and mass climatic genocide seems the best I should expect, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

      if you’re so worried about the imminent threat of a fascist dystopia and believe that the government will not stop it, why don’t you start taking matters into your own hands?

      please demonstrate the “slightly” aspect of fascism between the harris and walz campaign, and the trump campaign, i would really love to see this “slight” difference you speak of.

          palestine is fascist? They might be, they’re a war torn government and of middle eastern culture, so maybe.

          Israel? They’re a democratic country, so uh. BB himself is wildly unpopular within israel. Those aren’t normally possible under fascism.

          The US? The country almost subverted electorally. Only to push through on the sheer basedness of mike pence believing in democracy like a gigachad? TBF we have another election cycle coming up. But we’re doing fine at the moment so.

          The US federal government itself due to it’s war actions? Seems highly unlikely to me, popular sentiment for this war is, not great. Granted i don’t know any statistics on this, so i may be wrong. Since you’re here, and criticizing the government for this one, even calling them “fascist” over it. I would probably venture to argue that this is wrong by fundamental reasoning.

          I’m not really smelling any fascism here.
