Aaaah Cuban expats. Welcomed with open arms often getting to jump the line. So much hardship. So much effort. So much privilege and entitlement.

I dunno. Not saying that wasn’t important. It absolutely was and we should all be ashamed that it was allowed to stand. But I think the end of democracy. Not hyperbole. This is what will happen and they’ve already promised to happen should they win. Will be more significant. The appointment of bush absolutely directly led to this. But I still think this will be slightly more significant. As outright fascism becomes the order of the day.

The only problem with that is. The fascist Republicans have largely and effectively mined out that silver vein over the last 100 years. It does still exist at least. And it’s definitely far better than a kick in the teeth. But as someone eligible for it in roughly 15 years. It’s not going to count for much. People already on it are falling back into poverty and struggling to survive as is. Plus they’re getting ready to cut payments not increase. Possibly even canceling outright for many should Trump and Republicans win office again. That’s why it’s a short-term Victory realistically speaking.

But unlucky that FDR thought it better to blackmail fascists for a short term political gains. Ultimately obscuring the extent of what happened and who was involved. Leaving the fascism to simmer for 100 years. He should have tried and hung each and every businessman and Republican involved.

Even that won’t stop it. This didn’t start with trump, and it won’t end with trump. When the first Nazi coup attempt happened on us soil. Trump wasn’t even born.

I had to travel to the ass end of the county to vote early for Harris. Purely anecdotal, more women than men by a good bit. And the poll workers were commenting on the unusual volume. Still too much lead poisoning to counteract. So trump is still likely. But this could be closer than we think.

My my, the display of privilege and ignorance. Especially predictable from an ML domain.

Leninists 100% unironically do. Though I’m sure they’ll try to convince you that it’s not a genocide somehow. Despite supporting it.

Ole Winnie Xi Poo got his fee fees hurt. It was always that or they were terrified of people protesting and not knowing who to jail or kill because of the masks.
