      Nah, the GOP is a fucked death cult circling the drain and hemorrhaging supporters. Americans on average are about as cool as they have been in a while. It sucks that it takes seeing the ICEstapo horror show play out in front of them for months is what it took, but they’re more pro-immigrarion now than they have been in years. Say what you will about the absolute numbers, the trajectory of public opinion overall is good.

        So why resist them if they are doomed to fail?

        Are you watching different news than me? This “fucked” cult just coordinated over years to successfully capture the government, and started doing ethnic cleansing in short order.

        Claiming that the fascists are doomed to fail seems naive at this point in the fascist descent.

          Fascists are always doomed to fail cause it’s an incredibly shitty way to actually run a country.

            So then why did we have to sacrifice an entire generation to kill fascists in World War II?

          Why resist if we are doomed to fail? Things are bad but this is a winnable fight with the people on our side and they’re coming our way more and more with every stupid atrocity this dipshit government commits.

            Who’s saying we are doomed to fail?

            Things are bad but this is a winnable fight with the people on our side

            This goes completely contrary to what you’ve said so far. Everything you’ve said so far makes it sound like you think this is an unlosable fight.

            There is a lot at stake here, and there’s no guarantee this fascist doom spiral is just going to fizzle out on its own. The goal now is to get as many people armed as possible.
