  • House Democrats' support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding

    Jump

  • This is in fact true. If people voted for Democrats overwhelmingly and then primaried the DINOS like fetterman and the corporate shills like Newsom and Shumer we would see the change we want eventually. FDR did it. He did it with supermajorities in both houses of Congress and he also needed 4 terms to remake the supreme court.

    It's a generational project, and supremely unlikely to happen because a significant part of the electorate does not want it. But it could happen. If voters shifted 30 points to the left and stayed there for a generation it would happen.

  • "if Democrats didn't want ICE and domestic chaos it wouldn't have happened"

    This is absolute bullshit. When democrats controlled the white house and Senate this didn't happen. The parties are not the same and the constant refrain that they are is a malicious lie. The only beneficiaries of this kind of both sides FUD are the nazis.

  • Capitulation by weak figures like Newsom is far and away the most likely.

    There is a scenario where people demand action, and escalations keep coming to the point of widespread resistance and replacement of leadership for people who will disrupt the federal government. Work stoppages, tax strikes, and outright sabotage escalate into assassination and ambushes, while a debt crisis cripples the central government's ability to respond.

    There is no capacity for the states to resist the federal government in the current dynamic, but a debt crisis could degrade the capacity of the feds to the point that the balance of power shifts and the costs benefit ratio shifts with it. Nobody can predict when such a shift can happen.

    Again, I don't think it's likely, even in the darkest timeline, but it's possible.

    I was also realizing that I was not a man.

  • "democracy" rule by the people

    "Demos" the people.

    If you want democracy, then the people around you get a say. Yes, things will not change until we change them. That's how democracy works.

    If things are shit, we have no one to blame but ourselves for allowing things to be shit.

  • Those outlets would not publish that propaganda if it did not sell. It's not that there is no interplay, but the media figures pushing the fascist propaganda have no incentive to stop and cannot be forced to stop without abandoning core principles of our society (freedom of speech)

    Executing, exiling, or dispropriating enough billionaires would make a difference, but again, you need fascist tools to stop the decent into fascism. There is a significant segment of our society that wants the violence. Not a majority, but enough that I see no peaceful way through. The violence will come for us eventually.

  • ‘No other option’: inside the refugee camp for trans Americans fleeing Trump

    Jump

  • I read last month that Ireland has reconsidered the US as a safe country. They are more willing than most to buck the neolibreral dogma. But they are not better than most for conditions for refugees. The leftist cooks made a video about trans asylum seekers in Ireland.

    They are not having a good time, and it's not clear to me that they are definitely safer either.

  • Hard disagree. The Republican politicians are not leading the masses to dark places, the masses are pulling the politicians to greater extremes and the politicians are holding them back, because they have a greater understanding of the consequences than the average voter.

    Ask the average Republican if undocumented I'm immigrants should all be deported, and they will tell you yes. That's 14 million people, and the only way to accomplish it is to build up ICE to 5 times it's current size, and do what they are doing in Minneapolis in every city in America. What they want requires fascism.

    Ask them if abortion is murder and they will say yes. They don't care about the women that are dying from pregnancy complications, the children that will be orphaned, the families that have been torn apart because the treatment for many conditions is abortion of the pregnancy and if it's murder you can get treatment.

    Ask them if environmental regulations are too stiff and should be rolled back so the economy can grow, and they will say yes, they don't care about the ecosystems that will be lost forever, the diseases that people will suffer from pollution, or the rights of communities to avoid those harms.

    What holds them back is that individuals don't all want the same things, so the party pulls in different directions, because some people understand the disaterous implications of a specific policy, so they don't support that particular cruelty, but they don't question the wider ideology, and the basic ideology is a death cult.

    What you get over time is generational frustration that the corrupt politicians refuse to do what is necessary and support for more and more extreme individuals in office. People that hatch plans like the federalist society, to corrupt the courts, and project 2025, to destroy the administrative state and consolidate power into the executive, and congresspeople who will support the descent into violent fascism, because that's what is required to give the masses what they demand.

    Democracy slows down the process, but the American voters will get the cruelty, suffering, and death they demand eventually.

  • How can you support him? Use the names he has asked you to use. Ask what pronouns he prefers and use them. Remind him that you love him and want him to be happy.

    Beyond that, ask him what he wants from you. The answer might be nothing, or he might want new clothes, or help with school, or medical intervention like puberty blockers. If he wants to go that route, it will depend on where you live, but he will need a mental health specialist that specializes in children, preferably LGBT children.

    The first three things are the most important. Transition is individual, not a set path, and he will have thoughts. Try not to make assumptions about what he wants.
