    The self same Republicans you leftists accuse of being selfishly in dependant? You really need to get your insults and accusations straight there, mate.

    Like how the Biden administration destroyed 40% of black owned businesses a couple years ago, using blatantly anti-scientific arguments.

    The fascists in the US today are the democrats and the liberals who changed their shout from “fight the government” to “use the government to get our way”, you know, the very definition of fascism.

      I’m sure DJT’s YouTube channel can be trusted to offer unbiased, factual info. Right guys?

      I’m shocked that you don’t actually know what fascism is. Shocked! Ok not that shocked.

      I don’t think you’ve got any clue about the definition of fascism, and the distinction between Fascism and fascism

        I always think it’s hilarious when right-wingers talk about “leftists” and “liberals” as though we are billions strong and marching in lockstep, and then throw in shit that no self-respecting “liberal” would ever even think about. It’s like there was just too much paraquat in your weed once upon a time and now this is what your brain looks like with a side of toast.

          I always laugh when someone calls me a liberal, like bro liberals are center right compared to my beliefs.

            There are a lot of leftists that’ll be voting for Biden next year. Do our views even matter when we don’t have a candidate to vote for?

              Yeah I’m not happy about it but I’ll do my civic responsibility to keep a fascist out of office. We gotta keep our views though if we ever want a chance of being represented.

                I have a confession: I might actually be a leftist and not just a mere crunchy liberal, but I have no fucking idea because we no longer live in a world where nuance in the face of oncoming fascism has any real place for expression. I can read books and articles about it, but I’m far more about the practical realities of it: where is it in practice?

                Right now, there’s no place for that level of distinction. We are quickly distilling ourselves into Team Humanity vs. Team Ovens, with no real idea of who will win, or how long the fight will go on as we slip father and farther away from democracy as a society.

                It is, exactly as you said, a matter of simply keeping your beliefs for now, if not outwardly realized, just because of what the relatively sane majority is facing from the rabid, corrupt, and completely off-their-fucking-meds minority.

                It is my sincere hope that I live long enough to see what an actual leftist government stands for. Who knows, I might even like it. But for now, it’s just all hands against fascism, and whatever the fuck I am, am NOT on Team Ovens.

      Maybe go outside for a while instead of obsessing about things you clearly don’t understand.
