You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn’t special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say “Well I at least stand firm in my ideals”?

The average Black and Indigenous person in America does not think this way. The average Muslim, Arab, or even Asians in general most likely do not think this way. Communists organize the most marginalized and oppressed, not fully invested liberals.

I agree 100%, I’ve been making a point of following BIPOC leftist content creators, because I’ve noticed leftists communities are still very white, the most followed leftist content creators are still mostly white, and it bothers me. I think we need more amplification of BIPOC voices within all leftist communities.

Trump has already threatened his family. It’s a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don’t have to face the same kind of consequences. I can’t really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.

I’m sorry, no love for Dems but this is another level of cope and mental gymnastics. Trump did not soften any American power. If anything he crested a wave of right wing electoral victories across the world and emboldened white supremacist, Nazi, and transphobic messaging.

Trump radicalized people… To vote for Biden!! People got radicalized to vote for a right wing old senile white man who sniffs kids instead of a far right old senile white man who raped 14yo’s. Trump was not a victory for radicalizing people to the left - Trump put the world decades behind in social progress.

If Trump wins but Project 2025 doesn’t cement GOP power the way the Christian nationalist power fantasy thinks it will, we’re gonna get another fucking Biden all over again. Radicalized to slightly left of far right.

100%. It’s barely been a couple weeks and Trump has already started coping with questions about Vance saying things like “the VP pick doesn’t matter, because you’re voting for the president and not the VP”.

I think that if Dems keep doing well in the polls, Trump might just straight up drop Vance from the ticket.

They’re all identical types of weird chuds.

I want to believe, but there’s a reason billionaires spend millions each on security annually. Zuck security is reportedly more than $20 million every year. Musk keeps his numbers a secret, but he’s probably even more paranoid than Zuck.

No, with the endless culture war frenzy I can’t see working class solidarity, more likely a bloodbath between red MAGA and blue MAGA. The people flying the most and biggest flags will be the biggest targets.

Well, misogyny is pretty fundamental to capitalism, and therefore the US. The only spin the media is making is that misogyny is some special conservative problem and not a liberal problem too.

Mexico is facing an immigration crisis, white people are crossing the border and the US isn’t sending it’s best, it’s sending thugs and murderers.
