    I know I’m not getting the metaphor here because to me, this looks like Republicans and Democrats working together to impale fascism using the power societies gain when wielding the “stake” of communism??

    OP this is wildly inaccurate because you didn’t put a smiling mask on the Democrats OR show how they are actually an infinitesimal bit better than the Republicans and they’re dying on that hill

        Well sure, Republicans are currently actively trying to strip away trans rights, build a military with the authorization to operate within our borders, black bag people in the streets without charging them with a crime because they don’t like what they have to say, and deploying the goddamn Armed Forces against their own citizens when they have the audacity to peacefully protest about it, and Democrats are voting party line against every single one of those, but they aren’t saying no louder than that, so they’re the same.

        No one is better at mental gymnastics than leftists, I swear to god.

      Tell me more about how democrats are not like republicans. How they’re not owned by the billionaires. How they didn’t deport people. How they implemented medical care for all. How they codified Roe.

      This is not “both sides” but quite the opposite - there’s a good and progressive side (top of the stick) and a depraved and evil side (bottom of the stick). While the parties differ in their demeanor (e.g. civility, rule of law), their goals are quite similar, which is why both are at the same position on the political spectrum.

        They weren’t planning to round up an entire fifth of the US population and put them in concentration camps.

        I feel like that alone counts for a lot. Sorry you seem to disagree.

            No. They weren’t.

            Generic percentage increases to immigration enforcement are not the same as Kristi Noem tweeting about SIXTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, no matter how strongly you feel about the shit we were doing before.

            The Idiot is talking about stripping natural-born citizens of that citizenship, and sending them all to cat-food factories in Sudan, and y’all still wanna bicker about Obama catching people crossing the border. Like you can’t figure out there’s a difference between a little over a million people, across eight years, and every Hispanic in America facing a no-trial black-hood flight to fuckoff nowhere, as soon as practically possible.

              some people kill a few people, some people kill a lot. Both are murderers. If you can support one it shows your moral failure.

      This thread has been fucking great for blocking people who would have insisted, whatever this new Auschwitz thing is, it’s just as bad as something Hindenburg did.

        The lesson from Hindenburg that is true to this day is that liberals and “moderates” will ALWAYS side with the fascists against any socialist movement because they serve the same master. Have you been watching capital’s media lap dogs respond to Mamdani’s candidacy? Just keep watching and observe how many “mainstream Democrats” fall in line behind human trash piles Cuomo or Adams.

        Saying the good cop is “better” then the bad cop may be true in some sense but is ultimately irrelevant and distracting. Both are your enemy and if you trust either one, you’ll get fucked every time.

        Sucking up to the Democratic party is like expecting that sucking up to the good cop in the interrogation room will lead to leniency in the courtroom (aka a fool’s gambit)
