It was not Trump voters who earned us our future, but the billionaires who made the Democrats so shit that fascism seemed like a good idea. The rich have all the power, and thus, all of the responsibility.

    It was the tRump voters actually, and the Republican apparatus, and complicit media outlets like Fox news all doing their part along with the pathologically rich who manipulate both parties through lobbying and threats to ensure their collective benefit. The Dems are extremely disappointing, but the parties are not the same.

    You were SO close but still couldn’t help but reflexively flash your partisanship as you flaccidly gesture at the actual problem. Fucking figure it out.

      I never said the parties were the same, yet that’s the only way you can interpret my point. The Democratic leadership will never change, so one way or another, they must be removed from their position in politics. If we fail to do that, fascism or feudal stoked civil war will occur ad infinitum. However, you seem to interpret me as some apathy inspiring anti-voter, because that’s so much easier for your intellectually lazy ass to handle.

      It must be so convenient to never adjust your views, even when reality proves them wrong. I’ve changed my opinions given evidence to the contrary; could you ever do the same?
