Acting like fascism is inevitable in the US is just doomerist BS. It's counterproductive because it embraces fear and despair, which is the opposite of what's needed to build a resistance movement--one that we saw the effects of, already, in the 2025 elections, by the way.

Oh please. When did I ever say that fascism was defeated in the election we just had? All I said was that we had one. That was in counter to your overheated, "Elections are over in the U.S.!" nonsense. Also, we are not actually at full-blown fascism yet. And no reason to think we ever need to be.

No lies detected, as they say on social media. I actually almost don't even think this is hyperbole. They would find a way to spin it or pretend it didn't happen.

? We did indeed just have an election, or did you not know? If you just want to be a doomer, I'm going to assume you're a right-wing plant. 😆

In 2028, T could still legally be Pres. Of course, we hope he'll be impeached and removed before then, but Massie would be going out on a huge limb if he acted like he assumed that would happen.

He could still be a factor in elections in 2028? Barring anything unforeseen or maybe foreseen...(heh). His term would not end till 2029.

But leave he shall. Just like in 2020. Of course he won't want to. But we'll come through and get it done.
