I'm going to push back on the idea that established institutions couldn't have stopped Trump, because they absolutely could have. They just chose not to, because doing so would have required them to present a compelling narrative. As you say, neoliberal order is internally flawed and therefore the narrative of institution centrists, that of the systems in place are fine in principle, that any failures are a failure of implementation, that there is no need to scrutinise the ideology that we've built our society around, is deeply uncompelling to anyone actually subject to that system. There are two responses to such a realisation, you could either scrutinise the structures of our society and try to fix them, or you could turn the cannibalisation of what good is left of society into such a spectacle that there is no room for that scrutiny. Here in the UK we watched just capable established powers are in mobilising resistance to the first with Jeremy Corbyn, and just how unwilling they are to do the same to the second with rolling out of the red carpet and complete capitulation to the narratives of fascist Nigel Farage. As they say, fascism is capitalism in decay and heaven forbid you dream of anything but rot.

They could've, but it would be out of character, so it was unlikely. They were too greedy to support a social contract where they give up power for mutual benefit

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
