I tried to explain this to libs back in 2018ish. If Trump is a fascist, why would voting him out do anything? Ya’ll are either being hyperbolic, or you’re being cowards.
Trump is a fascist, but that is because everyone in the U.S. government follows the logic of fascism, because neoliberalism is just fascism without the campy outfits. He just not a systemic-ending fascist.
The issue is he’s an anti institutionalist corporate oligarch, which in a vacuum is neutral and par for the course, but in this case, one of the few things keeping America from completely coming apart at the seams are the institutions who want to make sure arsenic isn’t in kids’ toothpaste and shit.
So is your bog-standard Republican. All of Trump’s initial appointees were bog-standard Republican, and the only got wiggy by the end after everything had been gutted(something btw that Biden hasn’t actually done anything to fix in the interim).
The only thing that Trump is bad at is the kayfabe of DC politics.
Also there was a ton of brain drain. Competent people don’t want to come back knowing that they
might just get fired / made miserable under the next R President, so it’s hard to even fix these institutional problems in 4 years
Then it’s never going to happen! If the Democrats aren’t ready by now, they will never be ready. There is absolutely no way in this system to guarantee that power doesn’t change hands between the parties. Especially after Bush v. Gore, and the latest Supreme Court mandates. The train only goes one way.

Neoliberalism is rainbow fascism

That’s what P25 aims to fix.

Is he? I mean, aesthetically and for his base, he appears that way, but he’s a capitalist oligarch.
They will dismantle the administrative state and replace it with a fully kleptocratic one, instead of the hybrid one we have on life support
i mean yeah, that’s kinda my point
