    Y’all are enjoying this? I’m not.

    No. But I enjoy this more than fascism, and likely all of those things you listed will get measurably worse under a second term of Trump armed with Project 2025.

      Yeah. It would definitely become worse. But hopefully a revolution will come of it ( I would certainly participate in the resistance). And if not, and the general population prefers the fascism, I’ve already got my euthanasia go bag.

        So your entire hope is based on the idea that “This is currently fascism, and has been fascism for decades now, but if we let it get just a LITTLE bit worse, then The Revolution will totally rise up and overthrow this whole system!”?

                Some of us aren’t under the impression that “A civil war that will kill millions and has no guarantee of success rather than handing over absolute power to a fascist government” is better than “A milquetoast centrist for a few years”.

            This reads like you realize you lost the argument but are trying to save face by acting manly

              …manly? Argument? What, y’all thought any of this conversation was going to convince me to go vote? Good night.

                No, generally I don’t expect people with such juvenile notions of human society to be convinced by arguments. But it’s best not to let them spread their drivel celebrating the death of millions unopposed.

                  Fair point, but I feel like you’re making some assumptions about the way I speak in real life and what that would say about my demeanor bruh.

        But hopefully a revolution will come of it

        Hopefully? What a batshit insane notion. “Yeah, I hope my friends and family die in a civil war fighting fascists.” We don’t have to go to war, but if people act like they’re entitled to the “perfect” candidate earning their vote and are unwilling to make compromises, then Trump and the Heritage Foundation have already won.

        Kinda fucking funny that a guy who is whining about “genocide enabling” wants a bunch of innocent civilians slaughtered in some fucked up idea of a “revolution”
