If a protest could work under trump why wouldn't it work under Harris?

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Assuming he is sincere, then I'd assume that he would say that it's not "their" protests at that point but the participation of others.

Under Harris, they stay isolated without energized allies as most people are relieved with the status quo. They hope that Trump pushes things so far to perhaps even cancel elections and trigger a violent uprising that opens the door for them to ultimately win and that is their opportunity to finally replace the status quo. A very dangerous game where a more likely outcome is a far right authoritarian state with lots of suffering and lives at stake, but that's a risk they are glad for everyone to take.

You see this in their rhetoric, that it's not their fault for failing to support a viable alternative to Trump, it's everyone else's fault for failing to agree with them, and maybe now everyone will learn their lesson and agree with them.

I've had conversations with them and they hold that democracy is the wrong way. Essentially they think the citizenry are too stupid and/or lazy to decide how things should be governed. This is pretty much the horseshoe effect, both the far right and far left want to replace the democratic system with something else. If someone doesn't 100% agree with them, they must be wrong and their perspective must be ignored, and democracy means actually trying to work with such people. So they prefer to take their chances with prodding a violent conflict since they've figured they can never win peacefully. If they can't have the presidency, then who cares. No patience for capturing local and legislative offices.

The far right was more effective strategically, playing the game until they could unleash. They played the game with the republican party according to the rules, and then won.

Russian stooge says what?

[-] Zahtu@feddit.org 87 points 2 days ago

Remember, when the social democratic Part (SPD) and communist Party (KPD) of late Weimar republic Germany enabled the fascist government of Hitlers NSDAP in 1933. All because they were too focused on fighting each other, thinking that after Hitler, who is sure to fail, they will get greater voter turnout in their respective favor? Yeah, this here has the same vibes.

Spoiler: they did not get their turn or voter turnout because there was no longer a German democratic state (just to make sure us-americans not well-versed in international history understand)

I'd take that as a confession to being complicit whenever we get to the US equivalent of the Nuremberg trials.

The Harris campaign didn't want my vote so I didn't give it to them. The Harris campaign was fine with losing as long as the genocide could continue.

The genocide was more important to them than beating trump. Think about that before you tell me I should've voted blue.

You're right asshat, we didn't "re-elect genocide", we (see: your bitch ass) accelerated it. I don't fucking remember Kamala telling us Gaza was going to be a resort and all Palestinians would never be allowed to return.

Man, it's almost like I was right about all those 3rd party fucks that wouldn't admit they supported Trump and didn't actually care about the people in Gaza.

I can only interpret this message as accelerationist self-hatred. "No you don't get it, we need to burn the country to the ground and have millions die to make our anticapitalist woo woo utopia!"

I guess it makes sense if you're a Russian asset.
