Um yes I'm not exactly brimming with faith in American democracy. Honestly, I'm still optimistic about MAGA ending soon. Yeah no. MAGA isn't just a random flare up; it's the result of systemic problems in American society producing fascism*. The best you're ever going to get without wide-reaching systemic reform is a four-year break before neo-MAGA (probably but not necessarily under a different name) appears with a vengeance. You can't wait out fascism any more than you can wait out cancer; you actually have to get it treat it or it'll kill you. *To radically oversimplify, there are only two modes of government capitalist elites will tolerate: centrist liberal democracy and rightwing totalitarianism, and a society that (to give one example) can't house its young won't get to exist as a liberal democracy for long. You do the math. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dan1101@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 child) All my life the pendulum has swung right and then left.
