The theocrats have won. We don't have a secular government anymore.
Thank God some lemmys here have actual brains. These folks will scream up and down the street to anyone who will listen how horrible the Dem candidate is, and then wonder why voter turnout is low despite swearing they "totally went out and voted for Dems" even when they didn't want to. Sure.
Trump being elected is enough proof for me to realize most people in our country have dumb af takes.
True. I think for the most part, keeping things boring is best but sometimes a country/government/culture rots to the point that the only way for it to correct itself is through some bloody action of some kind. That can be a revolution started by its own people, a civil war, or a war that perhaps the country itself starts but then loses (see Germany and WWII). I think the US is slowly making its way to that point as the safeguards of democracy are continuously being eroded by Republicans and conservatives and there will be a point of no return.
The part where they are similar is that both the far left and far right are willing to use authoritarian violence to achieve their goals. And the representation of the left as just "oppression is bad" is overly simplistic. They too believe in oppression of particular groups (see oppression of academics/scientists/bourgeoise/etc in almost all communist take-overs). Centrists can also have very differing views as well but the reason they are located where they are on the horseshoe is because they would rather problems be solved with slow beauraucracy/well-defined protocols and not revolution or political violence.
This is not an admonishment or support for any of these things from me personally. I personally think a little revolution is needed once in a while. Just pointing out in more detail the idea behind horseshoe theory.
Ah I have yet to watch it. Didn't realize Walken was in it.
Biden reversed Trump's previous executive order banning it and said he would just support whatever Congress decides, and both sides of Congress bipartisanly supported a ban. But sure... Only Genocide Joe. 🙄
What is this format from?
Not to mention they've bought out every previously legitimate news source.
Yeah no, I get that. I mean I can walk in and do what I want exactly once though.
That was my second mistake. My first was not blocking hexbear in the first place.
It's okay. At least blue maga and genocide Joe have been punished. This is worth Palestine being crushed into the dirt.
