If liberals start to understand in America that labour movements will not come from their party system and has to come from actual action from the people then you can save your country. Trumps presidency might be the thing that actually makes that happen.

I hope you're right but I think you overestimate our liberals

I live in a VERY red county on the west coast and I've been hearing and seeing interesting things. While there are the usual low-info, reactionary attention seeking magats that will never question what their echo chambers program them with, there are right leaning people who are openly placing the blame where it should be. Just like the liberals, they don't get upset until it impacts them directly.

If the people who voted for this clown show are starting to feel like they got sold up the river, then I have hope that the liberals are also getting restless and upset by a larger margin.

Historically liberals in the same situation have been massive failures in this regard, so im probably wrong. But a man can dream, can’t he?

Nah. The liberal motif is to engage the least “confrontational” option. So they’re going to stand in streets with signs, but only on their days off or on a sanctioned day off with PTO.

There with be no confronting of the management or the workplace.

I’m so sick of liberals trying to say some version of “violence doesn’t help a movement! You’re damaging what we’re trying to do!”

Violence is the only real thing that pushes movements forward when it’s at this point and your cowardice is sabotaging it.

No liberals just become fascists when they're scratched

They aren’t fascists, they’re cowards that will enable fascism because of it. It’s a small distinction but it’s an important one.

They will become fascist when it becomes expedient to do so. They will protest the concentration camps until they get hit with economic precarity and realize that signing up to become a concentration camp guard is a sweet gig.
