    Nobody deserves this. Not the Palestinians. Not the American people who will suffer under Elon Musk’s presidency. This whole thing is abhorrent.

    Funny how they find themselves on the same side as Republicans and Zionists - blaming the Palestinians for their own genocide. Different path to get there, but the same destination.

    What you deserve for not voting democrat.

    I guess the Palestinians should’ve voted democrat, too.

      Trump is saying the quiet part out loud like the moron he is. Israel has always been backed up by the US in their genocide that started last century

      I would say it takes a lot of nerve calling people who refused to vote for a genocide ‘fascism facilitators’ but Sartre warned us that nazis like you don’t give a fuck when it comes to good faith and honesty

              I guess in a way?

              The point is that you don’t have to pull your hair out pondering whether someone is a nazi if they’re associating with nazis.

              I’d say it’s another form of the Desmond Tutu quote: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

              Sitting at the table with Nazis and not killing or reeducating (forcibly if necessary) them implies tolerance of their intolerable views, which is thus functionally acceptance of their views.

          Based on a brief tour through their (corsicanguppy) comment history I’m guessing BlueMAGA at least, which translates to “I’m a Nazi but I don’t like being called a Nazi”. Here’s an excerpt from one of their recent comments:

          Voting isn’t some bargain between a thousand voting groups and one candidate. Let’s break it down.

          THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES

          YOU PICK THE BEST CANDIDATE

          […]

          The unmentioned third option is “If you vote third party or don’t vote at all, you accept the consequences of a worst-case scenario”.

              I think anyone who engages in, advocates, or aids a genocide, particularly based on a perceived sense of racial superiority over the victimized group, qualifies sufficiently as a Nazi.

                I’ve been using the term “fascist” to describe Democrats for quite some time, because really looking closely at the definitions/characteristics of fascism and how this society works - you have this economically and structurally enforced racial supremacy, you have the nationalism, the militarism, the merger of business and state - the fact that Democrats pay lip service to leftism doesn’t really change it. Democrats haven’t really changed in the last two years, rather, the genocide of Palestine just laid bare who they were for us.

                  That seems apt. Democrat complicity in the Gaza genocide was the last straw for a lot of people, and arguably why Kamala lost. Importantly as well, I suspect Dems will not be trusted again by a large group of the population unless significant changes are made or the party is “Theseus-ed” into a completely new format, if they survive as a party at all. And that segment of the population grows every day as awareness of the genocide spreads and is discussed.
