Topic: I think now is the time when people start to wake up.

America never had a left-wing. The Democrats only gave the illusion of being far left-wing only because they were baited into displaying this when the Republicans kept trying to target trannies. Now we're stuck with two political parties that are both right-leaning. I hate to say this, but fascism won in the end. It really fucking did. It didn't matter if Harris was sitting in the oval office, because she would've been responsible for a lot of the storm coming up. Why chose Diet Fascism? You might as well just go for the genuine article. Because even Trump knows you can't be as racist as Harris was. Does this stop transgender people existing? If you believe that, you truly are a retard. Transgender people existed long before the media and the Dems started singling them out. I hate how this is likely the start of the fall for the USA.

> The Democrats only gave the illusion of being far left-wing only because they were baited into displaying this
Democrats have never given anyone the illusion of being "far-left" (except the kind of retards who think Obama is Kenyan and gay marriage is a Cultural Marxist/Frankfurt School plot to ignite Communism). > when the Republicans kept trying to target trannies > Does this stop transgender people existing? > Transgender people existed long before [...]
I think you grossly overestimate the importance of the trans issue on the broader US political landscape. I know it's central to your identity, but it doesn't carry that much weight; Democrats aren't being redefined by it. Out of 22 issues, voters in 2024 consider "transgender rights" the least important. People care about the economy and how they'll feed their families, national security and their communities' safety, immigration, education, gun policy, abortion, taxes, and so on. > Now we're stuck with two political parties that are both right-leaning
Like you say in your opening: the US was always stuck with two political parties that are both right-leaning. The Democratic Party would be broadly right-wing in any Western European country. Compare the positions of Germany's right-wing CDU (Christian Democratic Union) on social issues (abortion, gay marriage, gender issues) and notice they're aligned with the "far-left" Democrats. > I hate to say this, but fascism won in the end.
"Fascism won" in 2016, too. But then fascism was defeated in the next electoral cycle four years later. Now "fascism has won" again. Who knew fascism was so easily defeated that you can just conveniently vote it out of power.

Remember that time all of Hitler's policies were blocked and held up by judges and then he got indicted by the Gauleiter of Dusseldorf for electoral interference in the 1938 Reichstag elections?

The problem with this line of thinking is if we’re going to get another election in four years. Trump is going to do everything in his power to retain his control even if he’s not in office. He might just be the modern day Julius Caesar who crumbled the old Republic and brought forth the Empire. Though I wonder if this means the Representatives and Senators are going to stab Trump many times too.

There's a possibility his sidekick could be next in line. There seems to be a lot of that lately (all sides). Not super excited for this dynasty stuff.

Are you suggesting that Trump is going to pull a Biden and step down as President allowing for JD Vance to take control?

Are you really bringing up stupid shit from the first term? Trump likely stole that election, but the second term this line of thought doesn't hold up when they won through a fair election process. This was because the Democrats decided to abandoned their supporters and 'wokeness' as a whole to try and become Trump to defeat Trump. Nobody wanted to vote for Diet Fascism and saw it necessary to just vote in the genuine article. Harris has only herself to blame for this shit.
