Voting, being the US civic religion, means you will vote for “your” team no matter what. To not vote is an act of heresy.
The title refers to “Republicans” who will always vote for whoever has an “R” by their name on the ballot the same way the Democratics will vote with the mindset of “any blue will do” and check the box next to candidates with a “D” by their name.
The title uses the phrase “Pro-Trump Republicans” as if the Republican party wasn’t always filled with fascists and fascist enablers, getting rid of Trump doesn’t get rid of all the Steve Bannon’s and Pete Hegseth’s that are pretty much the backbone of the Republican party apparatus.
Capitalism does not seem to be mentioned in this piece. Pretty sure I can be confident in thinking, “Fascism is the self defense mechanism of Capitalist systems when in a state of crisis.”
For four years, Trump wasn’t in office but Joe Biden (D) was.
A few examples:
The Democratic party didn’t slow immigrant deportations or quiet the rhetoric about needing a “strong border” to protect the USA from “illegals”.
Peaceful anti-genocide protests were met with college/university administrators, local police, federal agents, and Democratic party politicians immediately attacking the civil rights of students and supporters.
The Biden administration keeping the war in Ukraine going well after it was made obvious that Russia wasn’t going to be easily repelled.
The Biden administration full throatily supporting any and all action taken by the Israeli government against Palestinians to the tune of multiple billions of dollars in military hardware used to directly destroy civilian infrastructure and Palestinian non-combatants.
So I wonder who this piece is for?
I’ll add on to some of your points to really hammer it home more
The Democratic party didn’t slow immigrant deportations or quiet the rhetoric about needing a “strong border” to protect the USA from “illegals”.
The Biden admin’s AG argued to the Supreme Court for the right to indefinitely detain migrants, and got it (but they’re called ‘migrants’, not ‘aliens’. Yay.)
Peaceful anti-genocide protests were met with college/university administrators, local police, federal agents, and Democratic party politicians immediately attacking the civil rights of students and supporters.
The official stance of the Democratic presidential candidate was that Israel has the right to self defense (read: continue their genocide).
The Biden administration keeping the war in Ukraine going well after it was made obvious that Russia wasn’t going to be easily repelled.
The US has sent 183 billion in aid to Ukraine, has always walked away from peace talks, and was likely behind the sabotage of the Nordstream pipeline (Biden himself said in public they would prevent its construction, and US ships were in the vicinity shortly before it exploded)
So I wonder who this piece is for?
“Pro-Harris Democrats”, to help them feel better about themselves after they also backed human garbage.
The stakes are nothing less than freedom itself:
The freedom to speak your mind without fear The freedom to exist without persecution The freedom to stand up for what you believe inOh boy do I have some bad news for this author about what it’s like to be a leftist in the USA. Or, you know, literally any marginalized group in America.
