He’s guaranteed to lose now. I can’t see a universe where the mental gymnastics add up to deciding that this is a good idea. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be funny as hell. But I’m really not looking forward to the idea of more Trump.
Exactly. It’s not about ‘democracy’. It’s about the right building a fortress within power structure of the country that excludes the bipartisan/democrat lanyard class.
That’s the sliver of that lives within me. From a Marxist perspective, is a state full of Democrat lanyards better than a state full of rabidly anti-worker chud lanyards, so that labor can organize with fewer legal barriers? Or would unmasking the state as an explicitly bourgeois institution help radicalize the working class and heighten the contradictions? Is there necessarily a “better” option relating to the ideological composition of the state, or is it irrelevant because of the fundamental bourgeois nature of the state regardless of who the lanyards are?
Or would a state full of chud lanyards be so incompetent that organizing would be easier? I guess we’ll find out since none of this is really in our control in the first place. Full machinations of capital
Don’t underestimate them, there are plenty of competent fascists out there. Or at least, they aren’t more incompetent than the average liberal dork
I assume the state is hostile to our interests no matter who is in power. While, yes, having the IRS filled with hogs would suck… the IRS already sucks.
The biggest change I can see is a federal government suddenly becoming hostile to whatever they call “woke”. I expect we need to step up to protect federal employees who are LGBT, not Christian, etc. But again, Democrats aren’t helping these folks in the states right now so IDK.
It sucks 😬
