Its not like there are enough people in the country illegally to fill the concentration camps the budget bill is going to pay for

take it seriously. fascist regimes wont’ tolerate criticism, or mockery, or pointing out how fucking evil they are. the direction we’re rapidly mimicking is north korea. btw fun fact: it’s illegal to call it “north korea” in north korea; it’s “democratic people’s republic of korea,” and south korea isn’t called south korea, it’s called “puppet regime”
“that could never happen in america!!!” too many people are still saying
while it’s literally happening
I feel like a boiling fn frog at this point.
Yup. Since Reagan…
you’re not alone. it’s so depressing, shit getting worse every single day. whatever “good” things are happening don’t outweigh the fascism
I’m in my forties, and it just feels like we’ve been constantly losing ground since Obama left office, I’m just so frustrated by all of the apathy, corruption, and dishonesty, and have been since 2015.
same. add to that, that everyone i try to talk to about this would rather pretend it’s somehow going to get better, or that somehow “the law” will catch up to these fascists and stop them in their tracks.
i guess we’ve been conditioned to believe that the bad things will just go away if we just say ‘this is fine’
the protests are a noble effort. but they’ve done nothing
No conditioning required. The Bystander Effect has always been baked into human instincts.
Part of it is trying to keep up morale. If you feel so beaten down that you won’t do anything, that’s just as bad. Not everyone can get motivated from the bleakness of a situation or from difficult and almost impossible struggle. For those of us who are, it feels like finally we’re fighting some actual great evil, of whose evilness justifies ANY means of defeating it. It feels exciting for us, I’m guessing it almost like a form of that bloodlust that those who get captured by the enamoring power of war feel when their country declares it upon another country which they view as evil.
Nothing? The protests are a big part of the reason the richest man on earth got kicked out of D.C.
That Civil War movie from last year is looking pretty damn prophetic.
Except for that whole Texas and California teaming up thing…
