Here's the problem: To even turn things back to the way they were 20 years ago would take a President as ruthless and unchallenged as Trump himself. Or a President, House, Senate, SCOTUS and Federal judiciary that would be completely behind that level of reform. Plus a ruthless purging of all the apparatchiks that Trump and his team have ensconced throughout the federal bureaucracy.

Tell me truthfully, do you believe that that will ever happen? Is there any doubt in your mind that if a Democratic Presidential nominee manages to win they will do ANYTHING to roll back the huge surges we've made toward fascism under Presidents from both parties over the last 40 years?

Is there any question that a Democratic president and Congress would just insist that it was time to look forward, not back, and to make sure that we have a nice diverse group of people running ICE, DHS and the border patrol? Maybe a little more diversity among the staff and inmates of the death camps that Trump has built?

If anything, aren't the Democrats likely to pass MORE funding for the military and ICE and DHS? Will they do a single goddamned thing to rein in Israel and it's genocide of Arabs in the Middle East?

If that's all we can expect under the best circumstances from the Democratic Party, why should we settle for that instead of the complete overthrow of the system that the world desperately needs? Under the status quo our extinction due to climate change and the effects of war will just be a little slower. Which hardly seems a kindness.

I await replies.

@Quasit Democrats have always repaired the damage caused by Republicans. Additionally, Donald has inspired a whole generation of younger Democrats who are eager to restore balance and eliminate every trace of this nightmare regime.
@Gustodon maybe pop your bubble and start to get real for once. We live in hell. We are slaves. Our rulers wont free us. Its up to us and the first step is knowing.
@thejacenallen What does that even mean? Burn it all down? Guess what, I can't afford the machine guns and battle trucks that are necessary for that. You know who can? Republicans.
@Gustodon so you think revolution is like mad max? Hmmm i wonder why you think something so preposterous. Perhaps decades of brainwashing from the oligarchs to make you give up well before the fight even begins? A captured mind will not free you. Free yourself! Please!
@thejacenallen You're all so condescending, like you know something other people don't. Grow up.
