We did a fascist but your reason is wrong. The reason is voter suppression and a lost culture war. It is in the interest of capitalists to push narratives that insight racism, transphobia and xenophobia in order to divide the working class and further their political capture.
Unfortunately it seems to be incredibly effective especially in times of unrest.
and volunteer in my community, same as I did all along. What are you going to do, play right into their hand harder?
How do you volunteer? Do you do shit like canvasing for votes, or actual things that matter? Maybe you should convince other who do these electoralist volunteering to do anything else instead.
