Seems like it’s almost time for Arab Spring 2.0: Global Spring.

Why does this graph not show total registrations? Fuck the Democratic Party. They’ve dropped the ball consistently for too long. I only hope that enough leftists continue to vote in any races that survive this administration.

Completely agree. In fact, if he dies before then, it’s likely to have the opposite effect.

The problem is definitely bigger than just him. That doesn’t mean that the world won’t instantly become a better place once he’s dead.

I do hope that there’s some kind of mask off, smoking gun situation (that doesn’t require any more suffering than has already happened) that causes his followers to realize they have been deceived and prevents them from voting so stupidly again. I realize how unrealistic this sounds, but it is my fantasy.

After WW2, Germany taught its citizens the truth about the atrocities that Hitler and his party committed. A nationalist party didn’t start to get a foothold there again until the population that lived through the previous one had almost completely died off. That’s 80 years of progress and growth that could hopefully get the US back on track. If we can stop things now before they get to holocaust/world war levels, maybe next time the fascists take hold, it’ll be even less catastrophic than the current situation in the US. A few more of those cycles and we (as a global society, because clearly everyone reading this will be long dead) can get to our Star Trek utopia.

Lack of empathy is the core root cause of SO MANY right wing causes. It kills me because empathy itself is the core teaching of Christianity. If they were actually good Christians, they would live their lives undo the credo “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Anyway, I find Satanists (TST, specifically) and Leftists far more empathetic.

We could probably do with some slow to the exponential population growth. The problem (as foretold by Mike Judge) is that doubling population of non-kid havers are the ones that are thoughtfully considering their futures. Meaning the pool of intelligent, responsible people that are having kids is getting smaller.

There’s a difference between offering opposition to outright fascism, and being the hope of the future of a political party. The bar is so low right now that I’m happy whenever I hear of someone pushing back in any amount, but AOCs passion and unrelenting sense of justice is fucking inspiring.
