It kinda can… This brand of incompetent fascism at least
Who are key holders of power right now? Trump and his backers haven’t solidified their control, the military leadership is balking at the incompetence, the judiciary is realizing if they cave to Trump they’ll give up all power, and the oligarchs running the media and economy are getting cold feet
They still need Congress. And with Musk proving himself incapable of primarying anyone, the. Cracks are forming in the solid front they had initially… The tea party turned maga was able to take over the party for exactly that reason, and now Trump’s endorsement is becoming a liability. Hell, even MTG is making moves to break with Trump
We don’t have to wait for elections to make a difference. The fighting oligarchy tour is making everyone pay very careful attention to election projections - in special elections we’ve already shown the game has changed
We don’t have time, because this is our chance. Both parties are in turmoil, and the people are louder than ever. And most of what Trump has done hasn’t actually hit people yet… This summer is going to be rough
This is the greatest chance the left has had in a century. If we can lock into what we do next and unite, Trump could be stopped and the midterms could be a true tuning point. We could get the momentum to fix things
Or, we can let the democrats come back in and grandstand about civility and reaching across the isle to the monsters.
The Democratic party is going to win in a landslide the next two elections, whether in their current form or under new management
It kinda can… This brand of incompetent fascism at least
Fascism is always incompetent, and it always (when it gets to the state America is in now) succeeds despite its incompetence.
They still need Congress.
They won’t by the midterms. I’d like to remind you that Trump was inaugurated only three and a half months ago. He still has almost 7 times as much time as has passed between Jan 20th and today before the midterms to pass his agenda, and project 2025 is 42% done. They’re trying to pass the SAVE act, striking a deal with Rwanda to ramp up deportations and now intimidating the judiciary. This is a lot farther along than you seem to be thinking. By the midterms, Trump will have the infrastructure in place to claim the election is stolen and declare martial law if he doesn’t get his way.
So… Have you given up on all bloodless paths? In that case, why worry about the Democratic party at all?
We’re too late to avoid mass suffering. We’re to late to go back to normal. We’re not too late to ride the wave to somewhere better.
There’s no giving up. That’s just letting the fascists win. Things look bad, things are going to get worse… But it’s far from over
We have to pursue all paths, all the time. We have to look for the cracks. The midterms are way too late to save us… But the pressure of the upcoming midterms are felt today, they can force resistance today
No, there are nonviolent paths of defeating fascism, but those require mass civic resistance, not electoral politics. What fascists fear the most isn’t violent partisans or bad polling; it’s workers organizing. Therefore, the people of America must organize and take power into their own hands, not wait for the ballot box to save them from people who evidently don’t respect the ballot box.
In that case, why worry about the Democratic party at all?
Because they act as a lightning rod, sapping the energy of the working class that could and should be used to organize and actively resist (and no, weekend marches don’t count).
We’re not too late to ride the wave to somewhere better.
Fucking exactly.
The midterms are way too late to save us… But the pressure of the upcoming midterms are felt today, they can force resistance today
Not nearly enough. The MAGA rank and file are still very much pro-Trump and will remain so even if his tariffs ruin everything, and Trump will start intimidating Congressmen who don’t do his bidding any day now like he’s doing to judges.
