    You want more trump? Keep posting this shit and you will get another trump.

    The lack of awareness is staggering.

      It really is better to be destroyed by Trump and fascism standing for what’s right, that being empathetic and logical, than to cowtow to his demands.

      Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. I won’t be the equivalent of a German who provides silent, obedient consent as they dehumanize the gypsies/Jews/disabled.

      It’s not rehabbing the Democrat party to yet again make them a little more similar to the Republicans, they’re already fascist light.

      We need a major left wing party in the United States. We haven’t had one in living memory. If we don’t get that, highly likely, the ship will continue to sink until collapse. Then we can form a bunch of smaller nations of varying decency to be destroyed within a couple decades by climate change, forcing us back to a far more hostile nature than humanity has known.

      It’s almost funny we are doing all of this to ourselves as a species to prevent what my species sees as the worst possible fate: humanism and global cooperation where no one is allowed to hoard enough resources to live as modern pharoahs while others starve and die of exposure.

      We’d rather go extinct or to subsisting off hunting and gathering than forfeit our dreams of being the rich sociopaths inflicting ourselves on the masses. Earth has something for a species that toxic.

      Well, the economy is headed for recession and the international system the US spent the last 80 years building is forever shattered and nobody will ever trust us again, but at least trans people can’t use their preferred bathrooms.

      Was it a good trade?

      I understand the message, but there are like 2 people that voted for trump on lemmy and both of them have been banned from most communities

      People can make memes about how bad the other side is without having to think about how to effectively create propaganda

      People who elect genocidal, theocratic fascists to power because they think trans people are icky should be driven to the fringes of society, not have their feelings coddled.

        This is pretty much what unites the right… the constant reminder of people they hate. It has to be eased off a ton.

          So your solution to fascism is to… concede to the hatreds of the fascists.

          So the Democrats would be different… how then? Dems and Republicans are both bribed to burn society to fuel economic metastasis at all costs, the only thing that separates them at this point are affirmation ribbons you can’t eat, wear, or live in(D), and stoking hatred through scapegoating® on the social policy side.

          If the Democrats get on board with the scapegoating, what are we even voting for anymore? The ONLY reason I vote for them is the harm reduction of not preaching hate as they allow mass homelessness, growing wealth inequity, and defend entire market sectors that have become murderous confidence schemes along with their Republican buddies across the aisle.

          Your kind of pragmatism is why we have no real opposition party to the Republicans. Your kind of pragmatism has already brought us to hell.

          nope. Because hatred isn’t reasonable. These people hated “goddamn faggots” back when we could be beaten, imprisoned, even killed with minimal investigation and pretty much impunity. And now they hate us because we can legally marry and they face repercussions if they try a good ol’ poof bash, but boy did they realise there’s a gray area with trans members of the community.

          Hate is hate and it’s not our duty to make ourselves small and invisible in case we make dickheads fly off the fucking handle. That’s being complicit in our own abuse.
