The problem I have with this thinking is that people think Trump caused this and that the fascist problem will go away if he does.
He is a symptom. We need to fix the cause. I'm not saying I have all the answers, but going back to 'the old way of solving problems' and not changing anything will just lead to more fascists.
IMO there are two big, fundamental and inherent problems we're not dealing with.
1 - Democrats don't want to do anything, because they want to run against Republicans on this in the fall, midterms and in 2028.
2 - The folks who voted for Trump in the first place get their news and world view from Fox News and the GOP-aligned media. They aren't telling the same story.
Let's look at the fucking headlines from Fox News right now:
- Dose of Reality: Trump targets drug prices, pharmaceutical industry with new executive order.
- Dems defend 'storming' of ICE facility - DHS hits back with all the receipts
- Trump cuts deal with America's top rival - here's the fairer playing field the US now has
- Storm Clouds: Middle Eastern royal offers to donate jump jet to Trump - Dems immediately make move
Personally, I think we should skip the home.
This loser didn't start forgetting his wife's name or forget to wipe his ass after shitting on a regular basis.
He's a fucking traitor who is tanking our country in a myriad of ways and violating the fuck out of our Constitution. A much more....severe punishment is in order.
a lot of people myself believe that democrats at this point are as much part of the problem, they do what the lobbyist and ultrarich want and totally ignore the voters.
so why fight half the country to only replace trump with a scum like schumer ?
if dnc was worth voting for then trump would never got elected. instead we have gotten lesser evil junk from them for 3 election in a row, the lesser evil that shamelessly funded a genocide when people have been struggling to buy groceries.
The Republican Party dies as soon as that happens. Every Republican knows it. That's why they will fight to keep it from happening and grift the situation as long as they can.
Fascism does not outlive the guy at its center. It can't. Anybody who could step up to take control would have been a threat to the old leader's position. The leader, therefore, has to make sure his people are loyal to him personally, and that tends to select for people who aren't very competent and are incapable of fermenting the same sort of faux populist up swell.
He’s pretty much describing all three sides of the problem and pretending only one of them matters.
- The anti-democracy movement, which wants a dictator and has gained enough followers to actually pull it off through democratic means.
- The pro-democracy movement, which is seeking to counteract the fascists through persuasion (the whining he’s talking about) and careful legal action that doesn’t undermine the very democracy they’re trying to defend.
- The revolutionary movement, which believes this democracy has already failed so severely that it needs a hard reset, so any action to remove the fascists is justified even if there is collateral damage.
In Germany we say "Der Klügere gibt nach, bis die Dummen die Welt reagieren". You could translate it with "A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will until fools rule the world."
How is this statement any different than anyone else's "whining" about the goon? It puts me in mind of a scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian.
We've go to get up off our asses and stop just talking about it

In all honesty we should all be on the lawn at the whitehouse everyday until things change. No work no buying nothing but our constant presence. We're the reason this continues.
The funny thing is what he's offering here is also just words.
You're going to need more than just gradually escalating calls to action to fix this problem.
I know that I also am just offering words but I'm not worth half a billion dollars with a broad domestic and global audience nor am I American.
I hope he puts his money where his mouth is and goes even a step further.
We're should be past the point of people telling each other to do something about it.

edit: I voted for Kamala, you guys are pathetic.
One singular look at my last ten posts would easily out me as a leftist. You did as much research as a Trump supporter! Hmmmmm, maaaaybe....
He could be talking about Putin in this graphic and it would have the same meaning and it would be just as useful.
