    Ignore the downvotes. Sane, non-fascists should all be allies regardless of where they live. There’s a good chance those downvoting have rising fascist populism threats in their own borders too.

    To people are downvoting or blaming anti-fascists within the US just because they haven’t “solved” fascism yet, I’ll just say: if you actually care about stopping Trump and fascism around the world, try to make friends and not enemies. Fascists would prefer we fight each other.

      ~100% of these people talking shit online about “not doing enough” would not do shit were they in a similar situation and probably don’t do shit anyway as far as civic participation.

      Thought I read something about overseas influence operations active on Reddit. Seems to make sense they’d be working other social media sites as well.

      we have a very big boat to turn around. a nation of 330+ million people is no small thing to manage. we’ve done the whole “political revolution” thing twice, and it cost us nearly half our population each time. we’d rather not do that again , especially if there’s a better way. and, of course, there is.

      but it’s… complicated and it takes time… but, with these midterm elections, there’s an opportunity to make things better, or, at least, shut off the firehose of nightmares.

        And if you don’t shut off the firehose of nightmares in a couple of months? This might be your last chance at a peaceful way to turn things around…

      You’re all allowing it to continue. There are no “good ones.” 30 percent of you are Nazis, the other 70% are Nazi enablers or abject cowards.

      You’re not “trying.” You’re waiting for someone else to do something.

      Do something or fucking sit down.
