    More often than not, MAGA tend to stab themselves in the back. They just don’t have the self-awareness for it.

      The upside to Fascism is that it’s never back in town for long. You don’t have to worry about it becoming the new status quo.

      The bad news is, you do absolutely have to fight tooth and nail because although it will take itself out in the end, it will take innocent people with it. The reason we fight is to do three things

      1. Minimize the damage

      2. Make it harder for Fascism to come back

      3. Create a new status quo to replace the one that was so bad that people wanted to do fascism in the first place.

      99% of partisan voters do this, unfortunately.

      At least, that’s the case if you look back at the last eight years. It’s a testament to the grip that the rich have on the poor here that anyone still votes Democrat or Republican.

      BUT, I agree 100%. If your politics are deliberately harmful to marginalized groups, it’s pretty fucked up to make the argument that “it’s just politics”.

        It’s so easy to ignore how one of Biden’s final acts as president was to deny Transgender Americans healthcare through TRICARE.

        Anti-LGBT bills have been flooding state and federal legislatures, and only a handful of Democrats have been brave enough to oppose them.
