Gwen Snyder is uncivilI am very, very worried for what the post-2024 United States will look like.
The GOP is a fully fascist party at this point.
If they win big, there aren't enough constitutional safeguards in the world to contain them.
Their war on Black and trans existence is a preview of what they will attempt to do to any and all marginalized people, as well as leftist opposition, on a national level.
I really fear that we are potentially about to reach the point of no return.
During the Trump era, I was very insistent that we needed to militantly oppose explicit fascists in the street and make sure there was a bright line that kept electeds from courting them.
That's still important, but's infinitely more difficult now that the line has been crossed.
And now that we're in an era of social media companies deliberately kneecapping those efforts (Facebook limiting event invites during protest times, Twitter's left-suppressive algorithm), it's also that much more difficult to build spontaneous mass political protest movements.
Riley S. Faelan@gwensnyder: No it isn't. It will just be done using new platform(s).
Juni@riley @gwensnyder More difficult (because less widely known). Not impossible.
