Slop.

Oh yeah, totally agree.

I think the Republican/Democrat split will definitely get hot, but I do not think it will raise to the level of a civil war.

Democrats vs Republicans exists to give people the feeling like they're fighting for the soul of the country, without actually winning or losing anything material.

Which is NOT to say fighting fascism isn't important. Obviously it is. The brilliance of fascism is that it defines the fight, and it does so by being obviously, hideously cruel to a small minority of people and daring you to stop it.

We must stop it, of course. But we must also recognize that fascism does not care about which minority it targets, it just needs to distract people from realizing that they are suffering because of capitalism. Minorities suffering is the cost of doing business.

Targeting a minority group obscures capitalism as the problem for both sides of the fight. People think they choose between left and right, but they didn't build the roads.

The fascist believes that the minority is the cause of their suffering, and wants to exact righteous vengeance of the same variety that hexbears want for capitalists. "The people that have caused widespread suffering are now themselves suffering? Good."

The liberal sees the immense suffering of the minority, and denies their own suffering because it is less acute. "Yes, I'm having a hard time paying rent, but I'm not being deported. Those people's suffering is greater, so we should fight for them first."

Importantly, the liberal will NEVER effectively resist fascism, because the moment they decide their own suffering is "worthy," they will prioritize themselves over the resistance.

Republicans vs Democrats will never rise to a civil war, because liberals view resistance to fascism as charity for the minority, not as solidarity with them. They see the oppressed as pitiable, not lovable.

And so they will post their signs, uber to their protests, and maybe even throw a rock or two if they get caught up in the moment. But when they're hit with rubber bullets, arrested, or face charges, reality will set in. They will see the true face of the monster. They will finally picture themselves among the oppressed.

And they will fold.

And the fascists will exact righteous vengeance on the innocent.

And nothing will change.

And liberals will win a landslide election.

And nothing will change.

And the fascists will pick a new enemy.

And nothing will change.
