In reply to the discussion: The hypocrisy of the latest round of Bernie-bashing [View all]Sculpin Beauregard
(1,046 posts)2. People need to face reality here: it's either a vote for
Dems or USA fascism becomes entrenched and intractable. The GOP are treasonous thieves who have loyalty only to money and power, and are pulling all the levers to make sure they keep it.
What's happening now is just a polite preview. Look at Turkey and Russia to see USAs political reality in a year or two if people/ Dems can't take the country back. The GOP are going to try to make protests illegal.
