Imagine unironically making this meme. I envy the history students in 2138 who get to study this crap and scratch their heads

The History students of the Future will watch all those who sat by as complicit in the rise of an authoritarian racist President in the USA

I'm pretty sure the anti-genocide people were the ones violently confronting Nazis four years ago while the Democratic mainstream said that wasnt the right way to do things.

Probably lots of overlap with the people who blockaded and flooded airports and courts to stop the Muslim ban.

Probably closely related to the people who put their bodies on the line and blockaded ICE detention facilities.

I'd bet they were involved in organizing the BLM protests too.

Nah, man.

The real Antifa are the ones brunching and quietly judging while they sip their mimosas.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

The history is already set. The dems ran a mediocre campaign after the sitting president flubbed a debate and lied about his physical ailments. It was a campaign so out of touch with voters that they lost the entire government.

How cute to think this is the first authoritarian racist president. You should check out the rest of USA history sometime.

Those 20 million people who sat by were democrats. But sitting by while facism rises is kinda your thing, isn’t it? Too bad you can’t hand-wring your way into a better union, huh?

No, but I can get a better confederacy. Given that I come from the confederatio helvetica and not the united states, you know.

Also I'd like to know how you got to the conclusion that I, vocal and voting against fascism, am complicit in its rise?

Look at this genocide enthusiast. Nah, if the Democrats are going to support Israel unconditionally they deserve to lose. If saving the US means that the US will continue supporting Israel then better if the US is unsaved. I voted for Jill Stein and don’t regret it, but I still regret voting for genocide Joe in 2020.
