The Teamsters president is speaking at the RNC... It's pretty much over for the US, fascism is coming, might be best to skip town if you can (hexbear.net)

With JD Vance and all the fake populism, and now this. I don't see any other path than the fascist one. Might be best to start looking at options to flee this hellhole.

UPDATE: They now have on a member of the Steamfitters union who is a "lifelong Democrat"... Yeah it's pretty much over

Do you actually believe that America was fascist from 2016-2020 like Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Italy? Or just a nationwide version of red states like Florida? I know it's fun to exaggerate but no. Biden has been much worse than trump in terms of number of deaths of civilians (Palestine, Donbas).

The U.S. basically formed the inspiration for Nazi Germany and has always been at least proto-fascist.

Its hard to imagine trump would be any better once hes in office

That's my point though. Things will continue to suck but we're not at fascism yet.

You don't need fascism when there is absolutely NO socialist movement

The reactionaries in the US keep trying to force fascism but (so far) capital isn't really on board because... why would they be? It's not yet necessary for them to team up with the dinguses shitting their pants daily over rainbow stickers sold at Target. We'll remain in this hell world, worst of all worlds, until something actually threatens the capitalist status quo.
