    I think we might differ on how bad we think the status quo of neoliberal US is, DragonFucker.

    It may be harder, certainly more violent.

    But maybe a wider range of society will be more motivated to take direct action.

    Edit: and yes, my theory does explain Nazi Germany. A weak, capitalist state where Socialists and Communists were gaining ground electorally led to far right non-winners given power because that was more palatable than ceeding more ground to the Left. And after that it left global capitalism in a stronger state than ever.

      Drag has trans friends who live in the USA. Drag does not think their lives are an acceptable price to pay for this plan of yours.

        I don’t think their lives are either, DragonFucker.

        But Harris wasn’t going to make them safer or even stop things getting worse. Ask them if they felt safer in 2023 or in 2018.

        Your anger is better focused at Trump and Co in particular, and the US government in general than regular random people on the street.

        As for me, I wish I had a plan. I’d just assumed Harris was going to win, but here we are.
