I’m not even American, so it doesn’t affect me directly, but I am scared to death of a Trump presidency.
I am one of those people here who think that Biden is a far more competent executor of imperialist policies compared to Trump, but what I am even more afraid of is the early death of nascent left wing movements in America.
I am reminded of how the KPD getting its leaders murdered by Freikorps thugs during the Spartacist uprising (mind you, a much stronger party than any leftist movement in America today), and how its continued suppression paved the way to Nazi Germany.
Project 2025 will effectively embolden fascist thugs in America to do the same to the left wing movements, many of which are still in their cradle, and the death of leftist movements in their infancies will inevitably pave the way to a fascist America and undo many of the progress that had been made over decades.
The world cannot afford a fascist America. Imagine Hitler with nukes. The world will have to pay a much, much larger price as a result.
On this reasoning alone, I believe that Trump needs to be stopped at all cost. But many here have disagreed with me, and I need you to persuade me why I shouldn’t be afraid of Project 2025 at all. Even if the chance of that happening is 10%, I’m still not ready to gamble with it.
(I’m not saying we have to support Biden, I believe it is somewhat inevitable, I’m saying that we have to buy ourselves as much time as possible, even if it means strategic voting, to build a resilient leftist movement while delaying the inevitable for as long as we can.)
First of all trumps a lazy incompetent moron so any grand overarching plan that doesn't directly benefit him is gonna fall flat in about 72 hours.
Second the only time dems actually oppose anything republicans do, even with empty gestures, is when they lose elections.
If dems win republicans will still do project 2025 except liberals will just scold you when you ask why they aren't doing anything, tell you you can't just snap your fingers and stop stuff you do t like, and tell you actually bidens doing great and if you say otherwise you're actually just a republican.
Lastly this, and particularly the whole "you have tonvpte dem or else there will never be another election is the EXACT SAME FUCKING MESSAGE DEMS TRIED TO SCOLD EVERYBODY WITH BEFPRE LOSING TO TRUMP IN THE EXACY SAME WAY. Then it was shown theybwere wrong that time. Now they're trying the exact same message.
And lastly I'm not more concerned with it then the dems are and dems are flat out refusing to even consider any of the half dozen compromises they could make to lock down the electi9n tonight.
If Joe Biden stopped sending amrs to Isreal, actually forgave student debt like he's been lying about for 5 years, or even send out rhe rest of that stimulus check he lied about during his last campaign he'd win by 10 points.
But they won't do any of those things so why am I expected to do more tongdt them elected than they are.
