Either way, change is needed. And electing a fascist is going to make change more difficult.
Idk, “after Hitler, our turn” worked out good for those people last century
You mean it worked out for the people he didn't eradicate
This was sarcasm. It in fact was not them after Hitler because he was a dictator who killed them. The idea that we should sit out this election to punish Dems is fucking idiotic because fascist authoritarians tend to clean house of people they dislike.
Also, people aren't going to turn to people that did nothing to oppose fascism to rebuild their society after it was destroyed by fascists. People will say "you were right about that Trump guy." They won't out of nowhere say "you were right about this socialist thing, by golly I wish I did nothing to stop fascism like you did! Why if I was more like you... well things would've still gotten destroyed because you did nothing. But I could've felt smug about things like you are. I want to be more like you!"
Would you rather push a boulder up a hill... or up a sheer cliff face while stormtroopers at the top are shooting at you and rounding up everyone who could help and putting them in camps?
Exactly. Thank you.
Kamala is a fascist currently committing genocide.
Trump is also fascist.
The system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed.
Trump wants to get rid of your ability to choose. Kamala doesn't.
Trump wants them to ramp up the collateral damage. He WILL make it worse. Kamala wants a ceasefire.
If you want the system to change, vote for Kamala and then convince people it needs to change.
That puts you in the top image of the meme saying "the system is broken and must be fixed"
But I've been here before which is why I'm in the bottom image.
There is no "vote for lesser evil then work from the inside to make change" All that leads to is an even worse lesser evil next time around
Yes, didn’t you know? Truths about life and the world are perfectly reducible to 2 panel memes. That is why 14 year olds are notoriously wise.
That's literally what happens when you break the system. You think it's going to get better when Trump has no restrictions? Or when the next Republican is actually malevolent instead of just petty and opportunistic?
trump has restrictions?
Fewer every day.
