    I fear it’s not going to stop.

    When Trump dies another, less stupid more insidious version will arise.

      Oh it’s definitely not going to stop but that’s no reason to not fight now and in the future. Fuck Nazis. Fuck fascists.

        Agreed but the problem is they’re winning. They have the power to destroy education, enact laws, control media/propaganda, appoint judges, influence law enforcement, military.

        Fight fucking how? I’m not saying give up by any means, but things are looking grim.

        If you’re a leftist, learn to shoot and buy a gun for self defense like all the conservatives? Honestly I don’t know if that’d even help.

          Fight fucking how?

          Even if you can’t or aren’t willing to do violence, there is always nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. I wonder if there was a prominent figure of the civil rights movement who told us about that.

            As soon as that prominent figure started talking about helping the lower classes achieve economic equality (or even just freedom), he was assassinated.

          When I say fight I’m talking about non-violent resistance and violent but it’s increasingly looking like it’s going to be the latter. Fascists only understand one thing. Force.

      There’s no guarantee that the next one will be less stupid.

      That doesn’t mean that the next fascist will have less support. Or do less damage.

      Stupid is hard to fight.
