American politics truly is "status quo good, facism bad"

But you must realize this sign is explicitly telling you they'd rather be at brunch, it's only when their comfort is interrupted that they will move. If your protests interrupt their brunch they will turn on you...
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.
- I would hope that what is happening now will open the eyes of some neo-liberals and, assuming the US doesn't start a nuclear war, there will be more people not ok with returning to a status quo of minorities suffering while they are out to brunch.
  That all hinges on if we can work together to stop what is happening and survive to rebuild. My point of contention is more with the people who are creating division in a movment that just started picking up steam.
Exactly, we can't even get the country to agree facisim is bad. Kinda happy to settle for incremental steps forwards compared to massive leaps backward.
- Who's going to take these incremental steps? It's certainly not the Democrats. And how many people are you willing to throw under the bus while these incremental steps happen?

Libs only know how to be reactionary when it comes to political "resistance". Political tribalism is more important to them than actual conditions. I'm glad to see these people are self identifying so that real radicals know to stear clear of working with them.

- Lol you have no fucking clue how many people I've provided relief to from cold hunger and desperation. Or how many lives the harm reduction supplies I've personally distributed have saved. I dare you to walk up to the people in my community talking that shit about the work my comrades and I do.
  We're building on a decades long tradition of community self-defense and mutual aid, and you're just out here assuming that - because you can't imagine how a community might be really improved by the actions of a few people - there's no possible way for real people to do real work for their communities.
  Be a better person, but also eat my whole ass and GTFO of this community.

actually supporting genocide --> bunch time

the previous part but with fascist aesthetics --> funny sign time

Deporting innocent people without due process to a concentration camp = just aesthetics. I guess.
- deportation of innocent people is happening and is bad. i just think that someone who would be at brunch if the u.s .was just still supporting genocide is someone that is there because orange man bad.

There isn't space for a lot of nuance on a sign

I think the message is clear that they only give a fuck if it affects them

Well sure, but it did create the modern reincarnation of it
The status quo as it stands will always lead to fascism

faScism

Sorry, that typo makes me crazy.

It would seem we have rather different perspectives. What's up with this strongly polarized view of the political landscape?

It's the view that the binary - i.e. two party - system in place in the USA is not good enough.
The slogan on the poster is "if kamala won we'd be at brunch"; which ignores the multitudes of issues that any kamala presidency would have brought. It's not like she said to sanction Israel or to actually help people out of poverty. Instead she is a symbol of the status quo, that which her party represents.
The status quo that f.ex made sure US prison population is the highest worldwide (by population percentage)
The whole post is critizising the polarization, as it has turned the two parties into "good and evil" only depending on which party you support.
