    There seems to be a concerted effort to pretend that what’s happening is business as usual, and not a direct result of Trump.

    Fuck outta here with that.

      Hang on a second. Trump and the Republicans are obviously way more extreme, but Obama was the deporter in chief for a reason. One of the greatest terrorists in world history with the drone program. Just because Republicans are fascist lunatics doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge what led here.

        Obama and Biden deported criminals, they didn’t go to fucking job sites and brutalize peaceful workers. They didn’t deport people to prisons in a third country that the person has zero connection to. They didn’t deport green card holders and legal permanent residents.

        People’s memories can’t really be this short, right?

        It didn’t “lead” anywhere, this is Project 2025. This is what these racist fucks were always going to do.

          You don’t really seem to understand how society actually works. Liberalism leads to fascism. A Trump is an inevitability when you have decades of neoliberal reforms and barely any relief. No one is saying the two parties in the US are identical. Yes, things are worse right now! That’s not what I’m objecting to here.

            OK, so a dude calling himself buttnugget claims he knows how society actually works, and then follows that up with the statement that “LIBERALISM LEADS TO FASCISM”

            Man, when the Republicans went to work attacking and weakening the public education system, they really had their eye on the prize.

              Oh, my reddit username needs to be serious? Sorry, I missed that memo because I am the direct product of No Child Left Behind. Is that about right? You are an embarrassment to the concept of rational thought.

            neoliberalis and liberals are not the same thing. also, Germany was utterly fucking obliviated as punishment for starting World War 1. I feel that that had more to do with fascism taking over than politicians from a collapsed government.

              I never said that neoliberals and liberals are the same thing. Obama is a neoliberal as was every president after Nixon. No idea what you’re talking about.

              At least I tried to help you understand. You didn’t deserve it, but I feel better that I tried anyway.
