Tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office again. By spurning economic populism and embracing Bush-era Republicans, Democrats helped pave the way for his second inauguration.

    I voted neoliberal out of harm reduction least worst of two horrible, corpo bribe drowned options as usual. Feeling dirty to avoid feeling filthy.

    Make no mistake, voting good cop neoliberal/bad cop fascist is a vote for continued oligarchy and class occupation, one with affirmation ribbons, one with scapegoats, both with defective capital batteries aka our fellow citizens dying in the streets to encourage labor compliance as a threat.

    I still live with shame voting for the lesser evil, as it is endorsement of this capitalist trap. It’s a vote for quiet slaughter, not peace. And this time around, it was for nothing at all.

    sigh

    I need to get the fuck out of this place. We’ve gone full Fascist, and even those that claim to be on the left still harbor nationalist allegiance to this cesspool.
