we could just go back to what we were doing then.

Except what you were doing in the 90s directly led to what you’re doing right now. You can’t press freeze on history; that’s not how systemic problems work. The solution to the problems of the present lies in the future (and leftist commie socialism), not the past.

But the descend to fascism is what pleases GOP capital.

FTFY.

“I can’t call an ambulance, I have to stop the bleeding first! Prioritise the most imminent problem!”

Ah, yes, crony corporatism, that system where checks notes economic power is wielded by private investors who can convert that power into political power. I wonder where I heard that before.

I think that’s too generous, but “fortunately” we won’t have to worry about that because Trump won’t leave and things won’t go back to normal. 2025 is America’s 1933.

Read: There’s no peaceful solution. Fascism in America has already reached critical mass. Start organizing before it’s too late.

No, it gets money; it evidently does not get votes.

the political machine we’re building to combat the Trump administration will flatten the DNC old guard pretty handily.

Except no such thing exists. MAGA hasn’t created any meaningful surge in independent progressive (let alone genuine leftwing) politics; it’s only compelled the center left to close ranks with the center against the rising tide of the far right. There’s zero momentum for “flattening the old guard;” if you want to do that you’ll have to actually try.

And anyone who didn’t vote for Harris over Palestine has now not only doomed the Palestinians,

I keep seeing liberals saying this, but it’s just not true. There’s no metric by which Trump is worse on Palestine than Biden (and by extension Harris, who has was virtually indistinguishable from him on the issue). As for everyone else, what, did you think Harris was going to do anything for poor Americans and minorities? Jk she wouldn’t have done (or been able to do) shit because centrists kill down ballot elections. More fundamentally, though, fascism was inevitable under the political status quo; the choice was between fascism now and fascism later. If meaningful change doesn’t come from the left, people will look for it on the right; thinking 2025 was fluke is nothing short of delusional.

So now the left, the right and everyone in between dislikes you and doesn’t trust you.

I wish, but liberals will defend him to the death.

Science has yet to uncover what it is about Trump that makes liberal politicians so weak in the knees.

Yeah fair enough.

Great, more of that please. Relevant:

It’s the most critical education period a child will ever go through.

Really? I thought preschool education was optional, why is it so important?

I mean, it has. The history of liberalism is the history of the 1% violencing the bottom 50% into submission.

You don’t need more than that.

Counterpoint: Homes in many places cost more than that. Retirement too. There’s a good cutoff for a wealth maximum, but 1 million ain’t it.

Tankies are gonna tankie, that’s nothing new. There are plenty of leftists siding with the Iranian revolutionaries on Lemmy, so what the OP says (that leftists in general are silent on Iran) is false. Unless they’re specifically talking about tankies, but nowhere do I see them making that distinction.

Aren’t women’s pants (other than leggings) with pockets very rare? How do you even have enough of a sample size to draw conclusions about this? Besides, women who decide (or never got to decide) against getting pants aith pockets wouldn’t complain about the pockets, would they?

I’ll take things that never happened for 10 bucks.

ICE don’t care about the law, as evidenced by everything they’ve done ever.
