[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    average liberal already knows the US is fascist

    No. They always think the current moment is the exception and everything way very respectable and dignified historically.

    That’s why you’ve got liberals venerating Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, having completely whitewashed the horror of those presidencial eras from their minds.

      That is pure nonsense.

      You aren’t going to find liberals venerating Reagan, Bush, and Clinton because those people only exist in your mind. They don’t exist in reality.

        How Democrats Came to Feel Nostalgic for George W. Bush

        “Did we ever think we would see the day when we would say, ‘Please bring back George W. Bush’?” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said during an interview with Evan Smith last week. “We really did work together.”

        Why Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?

        Former Democratic Representative Katie Hill tweeted, “In a million years I never thought I’d be crying watching this, thinking how much better we’d all feel if Bush were president today. Wtf.”

          1. That isn’t the same thing.
          2. Democrat does not equal liberal.

          Do you have anything intellectually HONEST to add to the conversation, or are you done with this sophomoric attempt at propaganda?

        I don’t think people get that this difference makes a difference. As a millennial going through college during the GW Bush years, there was at least a Republican party that cared about America, cared about non political government institutions and the service those members participate in, etc. Since the tea party that shit changed. And I don’t think it’s hard to believe Mitt Romney actually cares about this country and means what he says on this thing. I feel disgusted defending Romney, but I kind of miss it when it was guys like Romney were the political opponents in power and not these MAGA folks hellbent on destroying democracy and politicizing the institutions critical to America.

        I just found 96 liberals who fit that description.
