If you don't unite with them then history shows what you fear is guaranteed to happen.

Arrested for "harboring rioters" who blocked traffic. That's not even close to a crime.

Even if that were true, it all needs to be put aside to unify against the fascists. They pose an existential threat to democracy itself.

There are only two viable parties.

I love how a bunch of people who couldn't point to Gaza in a map are making that their sole political concern.

The common denominator is that the fascists sowed division so that there could be no unified opposition to them.

This is literally the attitude that allowed the Nazis to take over the German government.

They convinced people that the left and right coalitions that formed the Weimar government made it unstable, indecisive, and corrupt. That made people apathetic about supporting any party or vulnerable to the strong-man image the Nazis used to portray Hitler.

Free mental health care for those struggling the most plus housing subsidies for those struggling to stay off the street due to mental illness.

One of the social factors that most limits procreation is the education of women. If advanced education is available and encouraged, the age a woman has their first child is pushed back. As fertile years are limited for women, this reduces their potential numbers of children. On top of that, educated women often seek careers which often further reduces their active reproductive years. This is why developed countries usually have much lower birthrates than underdeveloped countries.

If they try to secede this time, we should just let them fucking go.

Chance the "Socialism" label on the bus to "Fascism" and the comic would still work.

That and it was also used to harass gay people. Cops would arrest them knowing the law wouldn't be enforced, but getting cuffed and dragged to jail for the night makes the point.

Apparently Saudi Arabia has 441 McDonalds franchises.

I figure the world is right about where it was in 1936.

Literally the first federal immigration law in the US was the Asian Exclusion Act which explicitly was written to keep Chinese immigrants from challenging white dominance.

It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.

Time to get to work Satanic Temple.

I heard something recently that really resonated. For fascists, the government is just a tool they can use to reach their goal.

They don't recognize the rights outlined in the Constitution, the duty inmate to holding office, or the importance of the rule of law. It is just a weapon to wield against their enemies and can be discarded when no longer useful.
