    I think you missed that they know that they’re Nazis and are proud of it.

    Don’t blame people for wanting to hide from the nazis

      There’s nothing wrong with hiding from Nazis.

      But I think the election shows us the human species can’t help itself but become hateful when confronted with perpetual precarity or perpetual scarcity. If we want a rational society it won’t be monarchist or capitalist. If we want to distribute power, we won’t get those who have excess power to give it up willingly.

        That’s only the supposition that people know Harris would be better than Trump. There’s a lot of lies around the economy and who’s better for it.

          One-party autocracy is, historically, always worse for the economy than democracy even an oligarchy with meager democratic features.

          And the Republican Party and the Heritage Foundation both tipped their hand early regarding policy.

          Whether it comes down to the public of the US being ignorant, short-sighted, too racist to care or too misled, it speaks poorly not only of the US people and the human species and its capacity to organize without being overrun by corruption.

          We may just be too daft to do better, and that is likely to kill is.
