Love to see the comments
I see they're running with the "fascism is rising because of this one dipshit and his magic speeches" explanation of world events again.
This is how Anastasia portrayed the Russian Revolution, lol. Libs still haven't graduated from a literal children's movie understanding of the world.
I remember even as a kid thinking that was bullshit. They'd show Hitler speaking and say he was this master orator. I watched iy and was like, yeah no
Look, I'm going to say something a little controversial and unpopular especially on a place like Hexbear but it's true and it has to be said, I never liked Hitler.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Yeah, that occurred to me while reading some of the response to the thread. No analysis of what fascism is, it's just when the Wrong Guy gets elected. If any of them took their Great Man beliefs seriously, they'd be conspiring to assassinate Trump.
People from other countries scared of alt right rising there due to Trump
lmao I live in one of those countries and our fascists are 100% home grown, thank you very much. Amerikkkan exceptionalism at its absolute worst, we've had this shit here way before Trump was anything more than a weirdo celebrity
Also Bidens policy is already brutalizing leftists lol
blatant which ones they're oh so concerned about too
The absolute adorable naivete of someone who thinks the US will only export fascism if the red guy wins
- Show
Oh, coincidentally, I found this version while scrolling through my 2020s memes folder today.
These people can never fail. Only the left can fail by not supporting Genocide Joe, who demands law and order as state thugs beat up the protestors. Every time his polls slip, he acts more like Trump. Trump supporters will never support him and I will never support someone that tries to make them happy.
And the wild thing remains - it's always our fault. Never the Dems for being wildly unpopular. Never dem voters for failing to mobilize their own people. And never ever anyone's fault for failing to do anything to mobilize the vast number of American non voters. And, of course, it's never the gop's fault.
It's us. It's always us.
in this cartoon the liberals decide to cower while the fascists purge their staunchest opposition.... so yeah, checks out
even in their wildest fantasies they cant imagine themselves stepping up and fighting for anything
"No Dr Jung I understand why I'm impotent in real life, I'm talking to you to figure out why it happens in my dreams too."
I’ve had this conversation with my SO. Technically speaking the best move for me as a white male would be to support Trump. Instead I vote for Democrats hoping for positive changes for all people. For most of my life I’ve thought I was “far left” for American standards, but since I’ve joined portions of Lemmy and Reddit you’d think I was a fucking Republican.
Certain portions of the left would rather spit in their own eye for unrealistic principles, even if it means that a worse alternative is the result.
Its so sad and pathetic they don't realize what is actualy best for them. "Technicaly" Trump is better for you? White males did not get better working conditions, healthcare, education yadayada under Trump. In fact he and everyone on the right loathe all that. Yet you as a white male is destined to being a Mcburger joint worker under Trump. Lynching minorities is not going to make you magically earn $50 an hour watching TV on your couch playing on your 360 as if the year was 2006.
These fucking idiots don't realize that part of being leftist, even if you want to be extremely utilitarian is recognizing policies that benefit a general population will inherently benefit you. By persecuting minorities all that ensures is YOU get a higher chance of being part of the lower "class".
Zero solidarity, they ultimately view it as a zero sum game where they want to be on the winning side, and the only difference between them and their sworn internal enemies is that they're the smart boys and girls who know enough to feel bad about the position of power they have.
Libs when realizing they basically are Republicans that happen to support the gays, as long as they keep it away from them and don’t raise too much of a fuss.
It's even more fucked up when you point out that
only "evolved" on gay marriage in like 2015 after the supreme court and public opinion was already there when it comes to normalizing gay people. They had already kicked off the ukraine shit before suddenly pretending america is a bastion/protector for gay people for propaganda purposes. Coincidence? probably, but easy enough to lean into as a wedge issue.
This is probably the worst comment in there, I don't even know where to start.
Dude both actually believes that Trump would give him the beautiful prosperous white ethnostate he'd enjoy, and thinks he's some huge rebellious hero for turning it down. This is so amazingly and unintentionally funny
I hope this SO is theoretical, because otherwise having to listen to someone you care about drone on about this sounds physically painful.
I voted democrat despite being a white cis male. Please applaud and compliment me for my courage, boy.
These people make the proverbial sack of hammers look politically astute.
It's the politics as team sports demographic, they will always be comfortable with using some other bad cop to make themselves look good- with nothing of substance distinguishing them.
People of other countries scared of trump
Biden is bombing yemen, escalating the Strait Crisis, worsen the situation in Korea to the point both govs dont want reunification anymore, and is still continuing the blockade of cuba, trump will just continue biden's policy
Ukraine is currently losing to Russia and if biden wins they will still continue to lose
and for palestinians Biden is already sending 1 billion dollars to Isntreal so trump will do the same he just wont lie about trying to negotiate a cease fire.
Libs will say anything and support genocide just so people vote for their favorite fascist
Didn't Trump have a moment where people thought he might actually help Korea unify?
yea during trump's presidency it was the 2018 USA-DPRK summit that led to a De-escalation between both korean govs and the USA, which led to a summit between both koreas and then another USA-DPRK one in vietnam 2019, and then one with all 3 in the DMZ later that year
the talks didnt led to much, i think most santions stood in place, the DPRK said later that trump only did them as a political move, but if we believe what Moon Chung-in who was the Special Advisor for the then president of the ROK the talks mostly failed due to John Bolton and allies that wanted a hard disarmament followin the libyan model which the DPRK diplomats where fully against
Certain portions of the left would rather spit in their own eye for unrealistic principles, even if it means that a worse alternative is the result.
Stopping a genocide is a unrealistic principle you guys
Also, participating in the sham elections that never change anything every 4 years while also thinking voooooting is the most effective way to bring about change is totally not spitting in my eye for my own unrealistic priciples.
Yeah when Trump wins, anyone left of MTG will be treated like the Palestinians are treated now. You guys don’t understand this year is the endgame for the US. You guys will too be busy fleeing from Trump’s Schutzstaffel to even think for a second about Gaza. It’s easy: If Trump wins, the world will fall into total chaos and Gaza will be everywhere, nobody will care about them anymore. If Biden wins, we’ll still have at least an opportunity to improve their situation.
There is absolutely no way they believe this, is there? Liberals have become 2008 era conservatives who thought Obama would put them in FEMA camps. The federal government is far too lazy and inept to do anything like that domestically. Also have these liberals not seen the police brutality on college campuses over the past few weeks? The American SS is already here, it's the NYPD.
Not to mention how dismissive this is of Palestinians. They're being carpet bombed right now. Imagine an American saying we're worried of the same thing happening to us. It's ludicrous.
And if liberals truly worry about this, that Trump will create apartheid and begin slaughtering people domestically en masse (more than people already are killed through poverty and police brutality). The response shouldn't be to vote for Biden, it should be a call to dismantle the entire American state apparatus because it shouldn't exist
There is absolutely no way they believe this, is there?
If they believed it was true, then they should be organizing insurgents and guerillas to fight the feds like resistance fighters in countries occupied by germany in WW2. The fact that they clearly have no actual resistance plan means they either don't believe that Trump is as bad as they claim or they plan on doing nothing as he sets up death camps, much like how they're not doing anything about the camps on the Mexican border right now
Above all else, we must trust the process and be civil to the people we deeply believe will immediately create roving murder squads to kill us all.
If we just protest peacefully and with the correct permits we shall prevail!
plus even if Biden wins they must believe the next republican will do this too, right? forever and ever.
do they just expect democrats to win every single time? no such thing has ever happened in history and if it does then they get a one-party state.
and their precious "democracy" (their conception of it) is destroyed anyways.
You guys don’t understand this year is the endgame for the US.
"You guys don't understand that joe biden is basically tony stark in this infinity war"
Looking forward to being told how 2028 is the endgame and then how 2032 is the endgame
as ever, the analysis that libs find settler-colonial genocide acceptable (Churchill) as long as it's not happening inside the imperial core (Hitler) to people that look like them, cuts through their tortured pseudo-ethical posturing like a laser.
Wild they think the US can afford to extend itself any more than it already has.
Outside of serious geopolitical circles, the left is the only group cognizant enough to realize how far US manufacturing and military power has fallen. So many people see our insane military budget and assume that it means our military is that much better than the next guy's. They're not thinking that the same decay that's been happening to everything else has hit the army too.
Or the fact that the US has lost almost like, every war
Can't even keep shipping lanes safe, losing a naval battle to a nation without a Navy
I'm told that we can only deploy like 3-5 of the carriers right now and that's putting serious strain on Navy logistics.
It's probably even worse than that, they probably think it would be the Russian and/or Chinese military doing the global commie-fascist genocide despite simultaneously thinking that
already destroyed the entire Russian army and that the Chinese military tech is all made out of tofu
You guys don't understand...
You guys will too be (sic) fleeing from Trump...
If Trump wins, the world will fall into total chaos...
This is a lot funnier coming after Trump's first term.
we'll still have at least an opportunity to improve their situation
It's amazing how they're attempting to quantify an ethnic cleansing instead of being horrified of that abhorrent event is even occurring currently.
If Biden wins without stopping genocide, why would he stop it after winning?
neither are good or popular, but only votes for trump or biden matter this election
only by voting for biden can we save US democracy
Idk how so many libs can believe both of these at the same time
I think it's honestly the case that libs think Americans have democracy because they can cast a vote. The content is irrelevant. You can go to a polling place and vote this democracy. Pay no heed to literally anything else.
Of course only in America does that count. China is evil compoudlist even though they can cast ballots.
frat bros being deputized to beat protestors under biden
what is brownshirts?
and no, trump couldn't harvest them as mussolini did (cause he is less erudite). but billionaires buying teams of "beat those guys up", coupled with increased union activity, astonishing wealth inequality, and petit bourgeoisie looking not so hot (but not too bad yet) is kinda exactly the cocktail for fascism (on low simmer, as both union activities are kinda low and amazon haven't started fucking bar owners and car dealers)
you've got to admit it's kind of amazing to watch these libs try to walk the tightrope to appear to be the most radical while just taking in the minimum quantity of information outside their shared fantasies
or how even in their own cartoons they are nowhere to be found actually fighting for anything. where are they when the leftist is being brutalized? wincing silently out of frame somewhere
Liberals have been indoctrinated out of object permanence. This is why they cannot fathom a political project beyond the next election cycle and why they are easily led around by these scare tactics.
Kill the liberal inside of you!
To paraphrase Yanis Varoufakis, we all have a little Hitler inside us that we must kill every day.
