when elected, does nothing to fight the Fascists, reverse their worst atrocities, or prevent them from coming back to power
Yep. If Democrats ever gain power again, watch them keep ICE pretty much the same way it is now, keep most of Trump’s tariffs, not restore SNAP or USAID funding to previous levels, etc, etc, etc.
We just have to be grateful that the lesser evil party didn’t add too many new atrocities before they calmly and politely cede power to the fascists again.
Exactly. Could one of the blue MAGA folks let me know when Newsom publicly announces he supports completely dismantling DHS and rolling back the post-9/11 surveillance state? You cannot seriously pretend to want to fight fascism if dismantling the tools of the fascists isn’t the first thing you intend to do when in power.
It has some serious Lord of the Rings vibes. The surveillance state and the unconstitutional powers created after 9/11 are this immensely powerful tool created for evil ends. But after the evil is defeated, the nominally good guys choose to not to dismantle the evil tools, but to keep them, telling themselves that they will be used for good. Except they cannot be used for good, as they are fundamentally evil. Meanwhile I’m over here shouting, “cast it into the fire!” But they decide to keep it every time.
