Translation: “most Americans will not be represented by our party”

Democrats and Republicans both seek to represent billionaire interests more than any other. The Democrats see billionaires unhappy with the fascist order not being totally under their control, so they seek to reshape the party to attract them.

This is why I say we need to leave the party behind; they are dead set on abandoning popular policies and that cannot go unanswered. By continuing to vote blue, we’d be embracing apathy. The dream of a better future dead in the water. Land of the slaves and home of the cowards.

Absolutely not. They were systematically shaped into cowardly yesmen before Trump reascended to the presidency. It’s why he drove out Kevin McCarthy out despite his loyalty, and why he chose JD Vance as his VP. It’s why billionaires and capitalists feel “politically homeless” right now; Trump is the party and no independent power is allowed. If they seriously threaten him, he has the full violence of a dictator with his own personal police force. He’s burning through America’s imperial power to solidify his own position, and that well is far too deep to soon run dry.

Assassination or more likely death from old age are the only way this nightmare ends.

Bold to assume this nightmare is still tied to 4 year election cycles anymore. He’s never leaving office alive, and after him there’s a gaggle of oligarchs who will be looking for new strategies of pillaging.

The only difference is how much damage each is currently capable of doing. The former would be just as bad given the means, while the latter currently has the means. I personally think it’s better to simply silence and shun fascists without means, while fascists with means should be dealt with in whatever way leads to the most success. That all depends on your own circumstances in relation to them. I suspect harming the interests that support fascism is more effective, as the fascist movement will probably only be strengthened by hurting foot soldiers.

This has inspired me to double down on giving Spokane a serious tragedy (in fiction)

I’m fairly confident these are the Nazi type antisemites, not the "anti-imperialist-genocide “antisemites.” Israeli fascists dislike both equally of course, as both would be against subsidizing their bombs and guns.

The New York Times is a bottom of the barrel rag at this point. I blame Transphobia Brainrot Syndrome (TBS), which is where people become so obsessed with taking down trans people that their brains leak out their ears.

My understanding is that this community is US news, not world news. I really hate that it was set up this way, especially on lemmy.world, but that is why most stories here are about Trump. His reign affects every news story in the US, as the context of living under fascism implicitly colors all of them.

Probably because they’re cultivating a readership of rich liberals who actually have the money to donate and pay. The media cannot be representative of popular sentiments under a capitalist system, and it only becomes worse with increasing wealth inequality. Economics bend the news to be a propaganda arm of wealthy interests more than a way to provide accurate news. Those with money pay to print what they want to hear and want other people to hear. The world is only built for those with power.

The only taxes these people will ever pay will be extralegal

No you can’t. Rules only apply to those with money and/or a willingness to commit violence based on Trump’s orders.

Go fuck yourself with a cactus Newsom. Snakes like you can’t be allowed to pivot back to “owning conservatives” after sucking up to fascist youth groups. The only story here is that Newsom wants to get back into the good graces of liberals.
