I feel like none of the people in that picture deserve to have a laugh at this. They are responsible for that orange dookie being in the White House.
Nah, take accountability.
Yeah, clearly their fault and not the millions of voters who preferred fascism or the millions of people who didn't give a shit enough to do anything. /s
Fascism does not happen in a vacuum. It happens when the political system becomes stagnant leading voters to turn to populism for political change. The right embraced this to secure control of the state, the Democrats dug their heels in the dirt and consistently supported third way Democrats who consistently sold off social safety networks and progressive rights to secure economic benefits for the wealthy donor class.
Fascism isn't appealing unless the status quo is extraordinarily bad for the average person. Observe, the party of the status quo. Do you not think they contributed to where we are?
all of them tried very hard to keep him out.
Obama was a rhetorical master, but his policies failed to address inequality, laying the ground work for the rise of Trump. Hillary played dirty to win against Bernie and then came off as totally fake and disconnected, leading to Trumps victory. Biden failed to prosecute Trump and also failed to address inequality, allowing Trump to redeem his image. Kamala then tried to court moderates instead of promising meaningful change. The democrats as a whole have failed for decades now to address inequality and reign in the excesses of capitalism. Trump is a direct result of their failure.
Classic Republican campaign: get the left to fight amongst themselves.
Classic moron strategy: attack any attempt to hold the more reasonable political party accountable for their actions as sowing division.
They work for us, genius. If we don't criticize their failures then they'll never have an incentive to improve. They already want to sit around doing nothing and earn votes by "not being that guy". If we don't push them, their party will just continue following the Republicans lockstep into fascism.
The GOP changed because of a fucking astroturf strategy by the Koch Brothers in the form of the TEA party. The democrats are only now starting to change because of insurgency from the left. They'll only continue to change if you keep the pressure on them. Refusing to court criticism will only cause them to fall further to the right, causing them to lose even more than they are right now.
Oh, they don't need outside interference to do that.
Classic Democrat campaign; don’t prosecute the criminals because of what might come out about you/your party
LOL.
Its hard to imagine the feels could be worse than republicans.
It seems like every other day one of them is detained on sexual assault charges.
What??? Google the pied piper strategy that Hilary employed during her campaign. She is the literal reason he won, lol.
