    big money tends to align with fascism

    So Kamala is a fascist? That’s ridiculous.

    What a simplistic way to view the world.

      Is she the one that sent a mob to the capitol to overturn an election? Oh no, that was him.

      And tried seizing power with fraudulent state electors? Nope, also him.

      And did a little blood libel about legal immigrants eating pets?

      Sorry, that one was his running mate… who also called him a fascist, during that failed coup.

      What part of this aren’t you getting? It’s fucking obvious. Nobody’s buying projection.

        I was about to argue with you here but you don’t seem like you’re a good-faith actor so I’ll leave this be. Ain’t no way you don’t believe Trump called for his supporters to be peaceful the day before, right at its start, and hours after the Jan 6 riot lol

          Does that fig leaf cover the fake-electors scheme? Because that was also part of the failed coup d’etat.

          He could say ‘we’re gonna slaughter the homeless a little’ and y’all would insist ‘he said a little!

          How’s he describe that violent mob’s actions? Like they betrayed him? Nope, fully supportive. Openly defends them. Decries legal consequences for their actions. Also, that day, had to be bullied into telling them to stop. Maybe because it’s fucking obvious what he actually wanted.

              You don’t know what bad faith is. You’ve just seen people call it out, and think mimicking their condemnation means something.

              I am describing what he’s said and done about the violence you insist he super didn’t want. Does it look like he actually did not want it? Does it fuck. About the only times he hasn’t demanded the mob be excused entirely is when he pretends it was secretly antifa trying to make him look bad.

              CPAC’s scrolling banners read “we are all domestic terrorists.” How fucking obvious does agreement have to be, before you stop pretending you can nuh-uh about it?

              Meanwhile: they sent fake electors to defraud congress. Feel free to have any opinion of that, instead of pretending that condemning the violent side of the coup means you can ignore the even clearer effort to reject democracy.

      Considering she has brought in how much money? She is backed by a lot of billionaires.

      It is funny for liberals to think they are fighting the system with all the billionaires on their side.

        It’s not a good-faith position. They won’t call Kamala a fascist for getting the support of like Mark Cuban lol

          Nothing about Trump is fascist. Fascism doesn’t align with his platform at all. It’s a buzzword.

          We had four years of Trump and it went well. If that’s fascism them sign me up

            Neither Trump nor Kamala are fascist, I’m just pointing out how stupid it would be to say that any of them are fascist because…checks notes…billionaires support them

              It is a word people throw around to create FUD. It is like the claim that LGBTQ people should fear a Trump presidency.

              I don’t remember anything really changing for the LGBTQ people under Trump. It is just FUD.
