As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

    Everyone still glad we dodged that Harris bullet? I mean… Imagine how much worse this would have been, right?

          Thought terminating cliche! Amirite?

          I didn’t fucking say “both sides.” Though it’s clear that’s centrists’ fucking goal: two nazi parties in a pretend democracy.

            Goes on to say “both sides”

            Hilarious!

              centrists aren’t the entirety of the democratic party. Just the ones pulling it to the right, where they want it.

              They’re not the same, but centrists want them to be. I hope they do nothing but fail for the rest of time.

      It would, indeed, have been much worse had Trump (or worse—some other fascist) been elected in 2028 instead of 2024. He’d have had more time to prepare and soften up the government in preparation for the inevitable (and yes, it was inevitable) takeover.
