Actually it's fucking embarrassing. Democrats winning is not a loss for fascism. You could hope for it for practical reasons perhaps, but what tf does voting the Blue fascists into power have to do with *all* the fascists losing?

Jesus Christ.

Democrats are desperate to co-opt people's rage against Trump's horrifyingly inhumane & violent administration to support their *less noticeably* horrifyingly inhumane & violent version of government.

It's really disturbing. They want everyone to close their eyes, cover their ears, & shout "LALALALALA!" to cover the screams of oppressed people like they previously had been doing.

@artemis If anything, and I say that because I try to be positive today, I think it is reassuring that there are many many many more people now that will never have that wool pulled over their eyes again...ever. It's still not enough. But if you believe that change sometimes (often? always?) follows the way of a exponential graph, we might be doubled from our numbers in 2020.

I don't know, it's a feeling I cannot proof with statistics. I just need a little bit of copium these days.

@chojzina
It's my hope too. It seems like something may actually be tipping.

I was just saying to my spouse that the reason they are desperate not to have real history taught is that a LOT of people do care about what happens to other people.

Minneapolis gave me a lot of hope too. Privileged white folks *actually* acting in solidarity with POC? That's a big shift.
