It really just seems like fearmongering about things most marginalized people go through everyday. Is it just the same” old things will continue to get worse as a result of everything infinitely growing” that’s been happening since the US was founded? I saw some goon from the heritage foundation go on tv and threaten leftists but idk if it has crazy uncle energy or whether that’s something someone with actual power is thinking

Fascism in the US marches on with or without this Project 2025. What alternative are Democrats offering? I see police budgets continuing to climb, money continues to go out to the genocidal entity known as Israel and neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Democrats are increasingly using anti-immigrant rhetoric and talking points. It's basically blue fascism (slower and slightly more mask on) v red fascism (faster and mask off).

Blue fascism; the mask is on but it's very obviously made of human skin

Red fascism; the mask is off. There's a screaming skull where the face should be.

Yup, that’s right. It should be a class conflict (rich (elites) 🆚 poor (working class)), but ppl are too busy suckling at the elite teat & they have done a good job dividing the masses, turning us on ourselves.

This pretty much, no matter who wins this year we're getting some strain of fascism.
