People didn't vote and democracy broke. Game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Flip the board and Hazbro with it.
It's over! Liberal Democracy died because people thought it was bad and not worth saving. We're in the endgame, and there's no time travel bullshit to save us.
What I'm saying is it's to late to decelerate. The accelerationists won us all the worst fucking prize imaginable. I'm not just talking about the left wing accelerationists, but the doomsday Christians and losers like Elon or u/spez who thought they could rule better without us. We need to make them suffer as much as the rest, because their delulu plans required that they stayed safe.
Edit: also, freefall is the only time you're truly at rest 🧘♀️
I mostly hang out on this instance, and I legit see more imperialist liberals than Tankies. I always push back against bullshit, but I don't see the problems you speak of.
I think you're in denial. He will round up undocumented immigrants and Latino citizens alike. He will commit organized violence against his Republican enemies, let alone any Democrats that stand in his way. He will create a special unit in the FBI to serve as his personal Gestapo. He's planning to do this all without any help from the House or Senate. If you've been paying attention to Project 2025 or his current cabinet picks, you should know this already.
If we're lucky, the cops in blue states like California might not do his bidding because the corprocrats pay them well. If we're unlucky, they'll just do what he wants because they're already MAGA. In the situation where we're lucky, the cops in blue states will resist the national guard and federal agents, leading to a weakening of both sides. If we're unlucky, they'll be as ruthless against protesters as the cops in red states.
In those crackdowns, fascist brown shirts will make the pro Israeli vigilantes that attacked pro-Palestinian protesters look benevolent. They'll lynch people without mercy, wearing white hats and swastikas, while the police generally let them. We must confront the evil, but peaceful protests will be off the table.
People will unfortunately learn that the hard way, and the news will not reach many Trump voters. They'll just think it was the "usual antifa nonsense," seeing us as the instigators regardless of what we do. Even liberal outlets can't be counted on, as Trump will convert or go after them to the cheers of his supporters.
I'm saying we need to do more than get crushed if we're willing to. You should make it hard for them by ensuring innocent people don't starve to death when the economy crashes. Give people healthcare and get them to see hope in the world. You'd be working at an NGO in a 3rd world country, not giving up your life to a meat grinder.
This situation won't be as stable as China in the late 80s. The economy will be falling, systems collapsing, all while the fascists try to pretend that they're the solution instead of the problem. Be a real solution, not a martyr.
As someone who watched The Walking Dead in junior high, watched Breaking Bad in high school, and watched Game of Thrones in college, I never got the sense that the fans were heavily gendered male. Those shows were just popular, with everyone from all walks of life talking about it. Superwholock was more of a Tumblr phenomenon, while those other shows were bigger on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Tumblr was bigger with women and more queer culturally, but Game of Walking Bad was more normie than specifically male.
I can be the anti-Trump?
