    shrugs

    Get your Blue MAGA friends to do something about the fact that, under Obama, my dad’s business regressed because he indulged his billionaire buddies and let them get off scot-free for pillaging the economy, and then under Biden my mom and dad, at age 80, had to drive for DoorDash to survive in a car they borrow from me.

    I don’t care that Democrats say nice things. People can’t fucking eat in this country, and they did their part to make that happen just as Republicans did.

    Both ruling parties are fascist turds. Pretending otherwise is silly now that people’s basic standard of living no longer exists.

      Yes, but the real question is do you want fascism-lite or a more traditional fascism?

      What a choice!

        That’s what they don’t get.

        Most Americans can’t even afford groceries now. Many are living out of their cars. They’re IN fascism, and it happened when Blue MAGA had the power to change things.

        People didn’t vote for Donald because they like him. They just hated the other side more.

          I totally agree with you except for when it happened. The US was always a proto-fascist country, but after the rise of the MIC it truly became fascist. We are clearly deep into Neofascism at this point and it seems like we are harkening back to some good old fashion fascism.

          The other major issue is the whole world joined us including our once sworn enemies. We live in a fascist world.

            It’s a fair point.

            Really this has been a 40-year process, with Reagan being the progenitor, and every president since doing their part to move us incrementally to the fascist right.

            Biden’s presidency sticks out in my mind because that’s the one where my 80 year-old parents had to start borrowing my car to drive for DoorDash in order to survive.
