Lmao passively tolerate? That's the Americans; the Jewish Israeli public is an enthusiastic participant in all of this. They've always been enthusiastic participants in Israel's Lebensraum genocide project. I mean ask an Israeli about the Nakba, or better yet see what they did to Rabin.

Like the free movement Palestinians have in Israel and the occupied territories? Maybe try some of your medicine. Also, surprisingly, you do not in fact have the right to free movement to a foreign country, which will probably surprise you given Israelis routinely hold pogroms in the West Bank like they own the damn place.

Bush for Iraq. Obama for his drone program. Trump for his handling of Covid.

Biden for his funding of genocide (which is, surprisingly, illegal under US law), to complete the list.

Something tells me this authoritarian train doesn't have much gas left in it

What tells you that? He's accelerating his authoritarianism because he can; that's how these things work.

An option so terrible that being not Trump was not enough to get it to the White House.

Nope, MAGA are the Nazis of our time. Zionists have been Nazis since before the Holocaust.

Man if they do make America weak militarily I'll give them a blowjob, but no. They're making America weak politically and less competent militarily with little to no change to the war machine itself.

Maybe but consider: Unrestrained liberal rule will simply lead to a conservative majority later on. The only way to beat fascism is a government that actually works for the people, and a liberal majority isn't that.

Uh... okay? The responsibility for this lies in more than just Republicans.

Just to be clear, the bad ending here isn't a liberal minority; it's a conservative majority. A minority government of liberals + third parties is the best possibility for a government.

By the midterms elections will be either rigged beyond repair or Trump will have consolidated so much power that Congress will be nothing more than window dressing. As a wise man once said. This isn't Orban-style "nice" authoritarianism; this is a full on full-speed fascist takeover of the United States.

There needs to be a next election before any of that. I'm not being pessimistic; Trump is reenacting the Nazis' consolidation for power and he will go after free and fair elections. Hell, he's already started with the SAVE act. It's up to Americans whether this is right before dawn or the start of a long, long night.

I mean with how hard conservatives are getting trounced (see https://smartvoting.ca/) it seems voting your conscience is viable because a liberal majority is guaranteed anyway.

Okay it makes sense to not want to split the vote, but Jagmeet isn't Canada's Stein. He actually has electotal victories under his belt, for one.

Have you heard of... Sanctions? It's a tried and true way of putting pressure on hostile (and also genocidal) governments.

Americans, it's happening. It's fucking happening.

Of course, all of the excess wealth was going to the 1%, so average dumb red hat wouldn't have noticed.

Maybe most of it, but certainly not all. Real wages were consistently going up under Biden, especially for the bottom 10% of earners. This isn't as apparent as it should be partially because he did fuck all to combat price gouging.

They're not saying that Japanese people are trending that way, but rather that they will inevitably go that way for the same reasons America did and Europe is. The reason it's not happening yet is because Japan simply doesn't have enough foreigners yet; the cutoff seems from Europe's track record to be around 5%. More than that and they start getting scapegoated for all sorts of problems.

As seen in this map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe#/media/File:Islam_in_Europe-2010.svg), percentage of obviously foreign people (in this case Muslims) and far-right politics are strongly correlated and other than Italy all European countries with a strong far right have more than 5% Muslims.

Japan is very insular, especially around immigration policy, they don't like foreigners.

True, but also there simply aren't enough foreigners there yet for them to progress from the "damn foreigners grumble grumble" phase to the "We must deport those foreigners or they'll Westernize/Islamize our children and end the Japanese race!" phase. I mean it's gonna happen eventually, but we still have a bit of grumbling before they start calling it a crisis.

I mean even people who were screaming didn't think American democracy would start falling this quickly. I mean did you expect him to start arresting dissenters within a month and a half of his inauguration?
