Nah, this is the beginning, not the end.
beginning of what? white supremacy has been a primary driving political force of us politics for 160 years. the demographic change is real and the reason they're getting so mad is all their old tricks aren't working anymore. georgia just elected a black senator. all the gerrymandering, voter supression, intimidation, ratfucking, etc. is starting to reach the end of its useful life. most of those places where you see all the trump flags they're there because there's an immigrant or poc community in the same district who does all the actual work they want to intimidate.

don't get me wrong, it's going to take a loooooong rear end time to change, it's not going to be a smooth, continuous process, democrats are going to get more conservative and racist too but I think we've hit peak chud

Open reactionary violence against society and the government.

There was a poster who lived through the Serbia poo poo in the nineties a while back, he said that it really started popping off when the civil authorities made it clear that they were going to do nothing to control non-state violent actors.

That's what we saw happen yesterday.

Trump doesn't matter in the end, the issue is that 30-40% of America hates the rest of America and will rally around anyone who promises to hurt them.

You can't have a functioning nation when a third of it only wants to hurt the other two thirds. They don't give a gently caress about their lives, their children, their communities, nothing, only hurting anyone who isn't like them.


This summer I did a lot of cycling in the back country and went by a lot of shacks like this



just festooned with Trump poo poo. he didn't make their material conditions better, but he did hurt other people, and that's all they care about.

If they can't have America to themselves, they'll burn it down on their way out.

You need them to be able to vote for their own good before you can make a call on how many of them only care about hurting anyone who isn't like them. They might side more with "more for us" than "gently caress you" if that was a choice.

But there's 15%+ of "just gently caress everyone up" even in northern Europe, so not looking good.

the capital class doesn't like violence. the people wanting to do the violence aren't organized and hate each other almost as much as the 'bad guys" there were hundreds, maybe thousands of people claiming oath keeper or three percenter membership at the capital who didn't do a god drat thing besides run away and the whole point of these organizations was to be ready for that exact moment

lol northern Europe remains hosed up, but there is a strong consensus toward upholding the common good.

Of course the racists want to keep anyone remotely brown out on top of that, but they generally don't want to vote for anyone making things lovely for them.

It's why it's possible to pick out the fucks entirely lost to hate and brainworms from the people who are just ordinary racists.

Voting for things that are bad for brown people? Could be either.

Voting for racism and dismantling public healthcare? Brainworms.

Less than 48 hours ago, the president whipped up a crowd of brownshirts by telling them their future was being stolen from them and exhorted them to march to the capitol to take it back. When they arrived, the capitol police let them in and took selfies with them. Trump tweeted that Mike Pence was a traitor as they stormed the building chantiing that they were going to hang him.


I admire your optimism though.

seems like consciousness of guilt

coupled with the fact that so many security apparatuses were intentionally dismantled, yeah it's pretty obvious that trump wanted this. amazing that you can try to orchestrate the murder of a co-equal branch of government and get the 'welp now is the time to move forward and heal' treatment
