I'm going to tell you a secret.

Trump's fascist movement WANTS you to feel helpless.
They WANT you to feel hopeless.
They WANT this slide into fascist dictatorship to feel inevitable.
They WANT the constant barrage of nonsense to sap our strength and our will.
They WANT you to feel as if fighting is pointless.

Because that's the only way they win.
When we fight, they lose.
Every time.

So go ahead, have a little cry.
Then go put your fucking warpaint back on.

@Lana all anti-fascist movements (liberals and socialists) should set aside their competitiveness for once and unite against their common enemy: the domestic movement to implement a fascist regime in the United States
@burnoutqueen @Lana Yes, yes, yes!!!! I've never been able to understand why those of us on the left are more concerned about "purity" than about actually making things better!
@Lana good lord. "warpaint"? Biden supporters really live in a different time.
@Geoffberner fuck off
@Lana @Geoffberner Fantastic toot!
Couldn’t have said it better myself 🀣
@oldmanstu @Lana yep. Old people like racism alright.

@Lana

Lana, evidently this guy's from the the Canadians Against Democracy group, with no political issues going on in Canada.

Also not aware that in order to keep Trump out, we will be voting for the person on the Democratic ticket. Also not aware that Biden's been performing just fine for the past 3 1/2 years. Also doesn't know that should for, for some reason, he fail, we have the 25th Amendment and a Vice-president ready. But your answer was fine.

@NiniBAnnieQuaker not sure how he somehow missed that this was about Trump when the word Trump is in the first 8 words

@Lana

I think he got that - but he missed entirely what the warpaint was about, what the fight is about and for. He's against Trump, but anti-Biden. Clueless.

@Geoffberner @Lana Hello? You're the only one bringing up Biden here. What's your point?
@Cappyjax @Lana my point is the casual white american racism of "get your warpaint on" is from another political era of the left. So is shouting "Geronimo!", by the way.

@Geoffberner @Lana

1. Many cultures, tribes, nations and ethnicities have used "warpaint" to some degree.
2. As I've never heard the phrase "warpaint" described as racist, can you link any sources claiming the phrase is racist?
3. I'm aware of Geronimo.
4. I'm not seeing the connection to Biden.

@Lana Fantastic toot!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
@Lana Thank you. I (and no doubt many others) really needed to hear this.
@Lana and with the Democrats, we *are* hopeless.
@Lana and look at France for inspiration.
