Of the Dems win and they don't put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.
Dems are chasing Repubs, so either party winning won't really change this fact.
With Dems we're delaying this outcome. With Repubs we're accelerating it.
Like what happened after the last presidential election?
But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.
It's a cult of personality. Jack Smith and the Judiciary just needs to step on the gas as soon as the election is called for Harris, get him gone. It'll be interesting to see where the GOP goes from there, but MAGA will be dead. Would anyone else be happy with your normal everyday NeoCons running the GOP again?
Companies don't want fascism, they just want tax breaks. Civil war and dictatorships are bad for business.
Fascism is very good for businesses. They squash dissent like unions and the publics voice. Then only the billionaire class will have a voice.
Billionaires in China have been disappeared before. There's only the head of state that matters in fascism.
Only the chosen few businesses, and entirely at the whims of the dictator. Your CEO pisses off the leader, your business goes bye bye.
Tell that to Volkswagen, BMW, Messerschmitt, Audi, Deutsche Bank.... And all these guys: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
Fascists weren't bad for companies like VW, BMW, and Hugo Boss.
Us on the left need to stop depending on a government whose military is overwhelmingly in support of Trump. We already know nearly all police are the same fascists (not to mention uvalde)
Arm yourself and train your family. Be silently ready for anything, don't make yourself a target
Top brass seem to swing the other way though. These are generations that tangled with Russia and china for decades now. They see much more behind the curtain than others do.
If the US military was overwhelmingly in support of Trump Jan 6 would have gone completely differently.
