Zero skin in the game. It's all football for them
Yes? Life is joyous enough that even the most imperiled, enslaved people have found happiness and love in their fleeting moments of peace and freedom. I mean, have you seen a rainbow? Shit's pretty
Because they'll still largely be liberals that think the system can be reformed, material conditions haven't deteriorated enough for anything else. They're also far less white and way more LGBT, so they won't be Republicans unless a sea change happens in that party. If you're not a Republican in the US, you're a Democrat, at least socially.
Joe biden is millennial and gen x nostalgia, they just need their own Obama and they'll go back to brunch, just like the millenials and gen xers that stood against Bush went back to brunch while Obama continued the wars and drone struck US citizens.
E: also the American firewall and tik tok ban will prevent the narrative from spinning out of control again as it did with Palestine
Nah. Who would fight it? Aging white Republicans vs. multiethnic pacifist zoomer and gen alpha Democrats? The Dems are more than happy to roll over for whatever the Republicans want and their base will only hold signs and engage in disorganized civil disobedience. I can see full-on transgender genocide, as our existence can be legislated away with relative ease, but Democrats won't care any more than they cared about the gay genocide in the 80s, and the incarceration of those that illegally seek meds will be bipartisan
Regardless it's funny. And it'll be great watching the dem meltdown when he serves exactly 0 days behind bars. They'll still proclaim it a symbolic victory ofc
Mmhmm mmhmm mmhmm ok
Next up: Time to call Putin’s bluff
Can't wait to die alongside everyone I've ever met loved hated in nuclear hellfire
Critical support for reasons listed here. They're also infinitely closer to returning to socialism than anywhere in the west is to ever becoming socialist in the first place, especially with the war introducing new contradictions (declining material conditions, being permanently divided from the west, state acquisition of private industry, etc.) and yes, China being their main ally and trading partner.
Went down to the US for the weekend to visit gamer friends. I'm driving in a school zone and slowed down as a result, there were y'know kids everywhere crossing the street. A USian then speeds behind me, barely avoids plowing into my back, then slows down to hang out of the car, yelling about how slowing down was bad for their dog. Then at the next few lights they tried to ram and brake check us, again hanging out of their car yelling slurs and murderous threats.
White americans are so fucking absurd, I grew up there and they will all kill if you even look at their ridiculously abused pets the wrong way. Like a friend was bit once and got pepper sprayed when she tried to stop the dog. Not saying Canadians are much better (in a lot of ways we're worse and more mask off with our racism), but USians are a special kind of unhinged. I constantly have to remind myself that just about every single white person in Canada or the US is descended from someone that killed to live there
If you're interested in learning I could give you some links/literature (have you ever read communist political theory?). What you've just said is basically an Eli5 for nazi children. Absolute dumbassery
When their material conditions deteriorate. Most white americans still have enough generational wealth to keep this system going until gen alpha are adults with children, at least, and enough racism, queerphobia, and hyperindividualism to justify never caring that others don't.
Flip the argument. Extoll how socialism has near 100% employment and relatively no homelessness, even providing good jobs to the disabled. Wiki will fact check this as true, because it agrees, but says that's bad
