I mean you even see union leadership now saying shit about how DEI is the reason workers aren't getting raises. It's terrible shit.
yeah, that teamsters leader talked at the trump rally. it’s getting way too close to the nazi arc. trump even has gay supporters that he’ll probably night of the long knives. i hate that libs have taken all the sting from the trump/hitler comparison bc 8 years ago he was nearly identical to the average republican. it’s the appeal to the national working class that really sets up the american reich. that and the fall of empire. look out for a few years when the US loses control of the middle east and possibly Africa
I think the American Fascist arc will probably exclude wealthy white gays from the persecution. American fascism will always make exceptions for the wealthy, and they'll use those exceptions as evidence that they aren't actually prejudiced. As if letting a few white wealthy guys live somehow makes up for all the other evil they'll be doing
Sure, but it's going to spare David Geffen and Peter Thiel, not your local lesbian orthopedic surgeon or the gay couple that owns six McDonald's franchises or even your bisexual landlord who owns 62 buildings in a major metro area.
My only hope is that the fascists don't even consider Pete Butt judge as sycophantic enough for them.
