We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.

    I went to a No Kings protest with a couple thousand people. It didn’t seem partisan in the least to me. I saw 0 signs supporting any politician. All I saw was anti fascist and anti oligarchical messaging.

          Well, for starters, there are no fascists on the left, because Democrats are not left. Democrats are right wing blue fascists. Their ratchet effect, which keeps ratcheting the entire country to the right, along with the Overton Window creates the circumstances for Republicans to go further to the right as well as the politics of the entire country. Enabling fascism does as much damage as those that are blatantly fascist.

              And for liberals that refuse to acknowledge that they have become right-wing reactionaries. They keep their head in the sand so that they don’t have to see that they’re becoming the things that they claim to hate

                The ratchet effect is a thought-terminating cliche used by liberals that refuse to acknowledge that they have become right-wing reactionaries?
