The problem is neoliberalism. It imples fascism or feudalism. The Democrats will only accelerate the development as long as they stay neoliberal.

I'm not even mad at the trump supporters. I'm mad at the elements of the other 2/3s of the country that have probably spent every day leading up to and after the election bitching about how horrible Trump is but couldn't be fucking bothered to get out to vote to prevent his ass from getting elected.
They are Trump supporters. Not voting is also decision. You vote "I'm fine with whoever wins".
Yeah. Trump supporters are stupid and loud. But they are also engaged. They're engaged with an alternate reality entirely devoid of facts, but engaged.
I'm much more concerned about the masses that are too stupid to understand what a democracy is, why it's important, and therefore, are totally disengaged.
That level of carelessness is outright terrifying.
Democracy is a vaccine we must continue to develop and administer on a regular basis or we will succumb to the cancer that is...well... anything else.
Yeah well I didn't need a warning I needed Dems to not be useless and purposely lose a culture war so Netanyahu can murder children and sexually assault literally everyone possible
I can’t see this ending without extreme violence. If someone sees a way out without that let me know I could use the positivity but it feels like civil war territory
Americans won't revolt. They are well conditioned by the tech oligarchy. The US will become Russia 2.0.
There won't be another elections. Put that energy elsewhere.
Civil war of right vs left will achieve nothing but bloodshed, but the 99% vs the 1% has legs.
Violence is not necessary. Occupy wall street was surprisingly effective. The Hong Kong umbrella movement was derailed more by covid than anything else.
...what change did Occupy effect?
In my opinion, it exposed an achilles heel in the current power structure. The 1% do not like being the scapegoat for public anger.
Occupy made Tim pool a lot of money anyways.
The removal of the problem people pushing the policies.
Sadly I think it ends with a whimper not with a bang. And even if by some miracle Trump leaves office the next Government whether it be Democrat or Republican will not reverse course on these changes, they will maintain and use the power.
"Sadly" a whimper would be a blessing. To say otherwise is to imply extreme violence is desirable.
Currently reading "Labor's Giant Step Forward", its a documentation of the biggest labor movement in US history, and how FDR actually betrayed in with an extremly watered down New Deal to curb the actual demands of the workers at the time.
But what I've been super impressed reading, is the tactics and resolve of these workers in fighting back against state violence, while minimizing casualties to an extremely effective extent. For example, there was a time where after an extended tense period of police standing opposite a picket line and trying to break them up the cops drew their weapons but the strikers were ready for it, and had a particular person they knew had balls of steel drive a truck filled with strikers right into the formation of cops and the strikers jumped out the engage the cops hand to hand, and in doing so, got themselves intermixed with the police so that they could not fire their guns without shooting each other, and deaths were prevented. There was still violence, but care was taken to directly minimize it.
Agree. I don't know how it gets resolved without blood, especially if elections aren't free and fair.
Unprofitable civil disobedience of unprecedented scale.
I hope so
poor US libs
