How many more bombshells to bring this scumbag down? I feel like we're about 149 bombshells in and still nothing is happening
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that nothing is happening. That's not to say I don't understand how you could think that. And I'm sorry I don't mean to single you out. There's a lot of this sentiment going around.
TV news and even most of our platforms algorithms are actively hiding the work that's being done, the results being achieved, and a sense of doom is being injected into the discourse from every conceivable angle.
Here's what's actually happened in the last few weeks. Please copy and paste this list to help chill the doomer bullshit.
They have 0 momentum right now. The ground is actively crumbling beneath them. The outlook isn't as bleak as our media sources would want us to believe.
One more thing to add is that historically the outcomes of these kinds of tension are literally never what anyone predicts. Never the authoritarians, never the people fighting for their rights. What outcomes follow always have everything to do with how hard those continuing to fight fought.
The reason the news has us believing we've made no progress is because we're winning a class war.
NIce summary, and nicely timed. Keep pushing friends! The tide is turning, but that's not passive, it's from our actions. Take a breath, do your self care, help those whom you are able, and keep pushing onward.
Thank you for bringing light into a dark time for many.
I'm not American but I still want to see the fascists fail, not just because I don't want anyone to suffer through it, but also because if those fuckers are successful, it could start another wave of increased far-right popularity here, last one was about a decade ago.
