Stock market crashing -> now a reason for corporate interests to align with resistance -> finally hearing about protests in mainstream media
To begin with, Franco was not strictly comparable with Hitler or Mussolini. His rising was a military mutiny backed up by the aristocracy and the Church, and in the main, especially at the beginning, it was an attempt not so much to impose Fascism as to restore feudalism. This meant that Franco had against him not only the working class but also various sections of the liberal bourgeoisie—the very people who are the supporters of Fascism when it appears in a more modern form.
From Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”, emphasizes added.
The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it’s in their interests to do so. Don’t trust them past the current crisis.
Don’t even trust them now. Nothing has happened yet. We can say that they took our side after MAGA is out of power and the extremist apparatus that supported them is totally destroyed.
If there’s one lesson we can learn from Trump, it’s that it’s much easier to destroy something than it is to build it. IF we gain power again, we need to take that lesson to heart, and turn it against the fascists who gleefully applied it to the American people, and the rest of the democratic world.
It’s fascinatingly dumb how short-sighted they are. Do they like having money? People deported, in jail, dead, unemployed, homeless can’t buy their stuff. A delusional hope of feeding off government money only works until the government no longer has a use for you, or decides to just take you over and you become part of the government.
It is in their best interests to support the masses, but they can’t ever see past 3 months in the future.
These people didn’t get money from being smart. They got it from luck, and from violating laws that the government refused to enforce.
They don’t realize that before government regulations existed, instead of paying an incredibly reasonable tax rate, they were able to keep everything… Until an angry mob stormed their home and murdered them all
Last time I checked police depended on pensions too and they are invested
congress almost never touches police funding at all, because they are useful tools.
Glad there is a movement.
Here’s a map with the protests listed https://www.mobilize.us/map/?date=2025-04-05T05%3A00%3A00.000Z&lat=38.76&lon=-90.44&zoom=2
This map is missing the one planned for Cal Anderson Park in Seattle, which is likely to be the biggest in the area (popular protest location).
We had an anti-Trump protest in Alabama. In ALABAMA. And this wasn’t mostly college-aged liberals. It was primarily older white people, the republican core demographic. If we, by some miracle, make it through the next three and a half years, the Republicans are going to suffer historical losses across the board.
the Republicans are going to suffer historical losses across the board.
No, no they’re not. Because they are and will continue to gerrymander and rig to ensure that they stay in power.
They are going to let the protests grow. By next summer, there will be massive protests about all sorts of bad stuff. Just pick your issue, there will be a protest for it. Most cities will have multiple mass protests over multiple issues simultaneously.
HitlerPig will encourage his RedHats to stir up some standard street violence, then send in the authorities to quell the violence with ferocious lethal violence. Many will die.
He will use that to justify Martial Law and suspend elections for the first time in American history. He can’t afford to allow the House or the Srnate to flip, and give the Drmocrats control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.
Even if the system isn’t completely rigged by then, it’s been proven time and time again that the average voter has the attention span of a toddler on sugar. I’m afraid what happens now, three and a half years away from the elections, will have no influence on the elections.
They aren’t changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren’t. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.
While youre right, the MAGA core is a small portion of US voters. Even if it was half the Republican voters, thats about 15% of total US voters. They are a minority that pretends to make up 90% of the population. Get the turnout up and convince those brainwashed by Fox news and you got yourself a 70-30 win.
Not possible as long as 90% of the public just need to be told that trans people are evil. I’m sorry man. I’m glad you’re optimistic but I’m increasingly convinced this is going to end in violence.
Even the neo-Nazis are questioning Trump. Nick Fuentes seemed frustrated with him.
I’m going to one and so should you. Fuck these fascists.
