In one week the Demcratic Party pulled an actual real Project 2025 on us

  1. Unlimited government surveillance
  2. Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits
  3. Banning leftist social media
  4. Sicking cops on students all over the country
  5. Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven’t seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn’t bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we’ve just been hit with, seriously wtf

But if trump wins, democracy is over!!!1!!!One

NephewAlphaBravo,

Democracy is over if he wins! And if he loses. It was never here in the first place.

asg101,

It was never here in the first place.

Bingo, Actual fucking oligarchy was written into the Constitution. Only rich white males had the vote.

Ildsaye,

Any democratization has happened despite the Constitution, and is fully exposed to clawback as long as that constitution is in place

It’s wild because I actually saw some polls recently that showed them to be regaining the lead, then they do this. Like yeah polls are flawed, but it is maddening to see them do this.

It’s pretty clear that the polls merely tell them how far they’re allowed to push. Voter support is just currency to them, whenever they creep up in the polls it means they’ve built up enough spending power to implement something horrible.

the parmesantarian revealed that the powers of the presidency can only be used to do bad things, sorry sweaty Biden doesn’t have the power to make sweeping changes for good only for bad

goferking0,

vote for people who seem good

they flip to terrible people immediately

get told should have voted harder to get anything helpful done

Adkml,

I wish.

The people aren’t even making the effort to seem good.

The literal current message of the democratic party is “fuck you were going to keep doing whatever the fuck we want. We know you don’t like it but what are you going to do, let trump win?”

Trump is a massive asset for the democrats because they’re literally using him as a gun to take their own voters hostage.

Facebones,

Even mainstream outlets and pundits can’t come up with anything better than “Yeah Joe does it but TRUMP WILL DO IT WORSE OOooOooOooooIOOOOoooo”

looking forward to Genocide Joe losing and leftists, who have no real power outside of the glorified scam of voting, getting the blame.

Facebones,

They don’t even pretend to care about Republicans, those are just boogeymen to try and spook leftists into “voting blue no matter who”

FunkyStuff,

We’re stuck in a demented good cop bad cop routine and the dems have upped the ante. Their line is effectively now, “vote for us so Trump doesn’t use the tools we specifically gave him because we knew how scared you’d be.” Except the dems are using those tools right now, to defend their genocide. Bleak.

Genocide Joe isn’t 99% hitler because eu law says you can only call him hitler if he’s from the hitler region of bavaria.

Adkml,

It’s sparkling oligarchy
