    Are you fucking kidding me? We’ve got to have some reprieve against this absolute madness. What you can’t be held accountable you fucks? I’m sick of this already and he hasn’t even taken office.

        I mean after reading Blackshirts and the Reds it kinda seems like we’ve always been a little bit fascist. What is really going on is fascism is a simple tool of capitalism. Since we are all in on capitalism, theres a lot of similarities between us and even Nazi Germany when it comes to social issues and the economy, I mean shit I’m pretty sure we still got Migrant camps right now and Trump is not in office yet.

          Trump’s goal is chaos. A Million Americans died from his inept and mismanaged Global Pandemic response the last go around, and loading up every Federal agency with chuckleheads who can only run them into the ground (health, defense, intelligence, finance), he’s gonna beat that first number handily. It’s literally going to be bedlam, everywhere, all the time, with no checks, no balances. In Capitalism, for someone to earn, labor must be taken advantage of. In this scenario, I don’t know how earnings can be created, when everyone is dying from something.

            Idk it seems his goal is consolidation. He’s mirroring Hitler’s exact rise to power. Join party, take it over, get colored shirted goons to attack and harass, Oligarchs back you because the unions are rowdy, and with their backing you win the election. Then you purge nonloyalists from the government as well as problem members, and then you go after the media. Its exactly the same to a T. Its almost like having capitalists run everything always turns to authoritarianism.

      If recent history is the template, to be unaccountable you must be:

      • white
      • male
      • rich
      • racist
      • misogynistic

      …if you aren’t all of these then I’m sorry, the rules of accountability apply to you.

      In a small win for Progressives, with the power wielded by Peter Thiel to swing elections and public policy, one attribute was removed from the above list:

      • heterosexual

        no. that was 10 years ago. that is a child’s view now. trump is stacking every single fucking federal agency, health, defense, intelligence, finance, with morons who will run them all into the ground. his goal is chaos. there will be only 2 kind of people left in the united states in a few years : the very rich, and the dying.
