I’ve already cast down my bucket where I am. I have no realistic prospects of leaving the country. It’s quite possible that the humble but still prospering niche I’ve carved for myself in the last year is in imminent danger, maybe even at a personal level.
I’ll say it. I’m afraid. I knew nothing good could come of this election, but having one particular brand of fascism without even performative opposition to slow down whatever acts of revenge or just outright looting and mayhem it wants to do while the climate crisis accelerates… well, I’ll say it again. I’m afraid.
That’s the post.
I can’t wait for the ensuing liberal screeds when I point out that Obama could’ve prevented at least some of the past and future damage done by Trump.
you terminally online leftists simply don’t understand. the democratic super majority was right wing at the time.
Obama could have simply never kowtowed to the GOP when that one justice needed to be replaced (I forgot who), and if RBG wasn’t so pig-headed there could have been a 5-4 court in dems favor.
No doubt Thomas and Alito are going to retire, they’re evil not stupid.
It was Merrick Garland, and he did, Newt didn’t care because denying the judge was the point. The Dems could have forced it through anyway but refused because 'they go low we go high" and “it would mean the repubs can do it later”
That Supreme Court justice nomination that was stolen by McConnell
seat a justice and then dare that slushy-faced fuck to do something about it
Yeah you’ve got it. Stop letting them get away with it.
