I am an old fart who spent her life watching as fascism first invaded the Whitehouse in 1980. Today we are no longer a democracy and the torch is yours. It's time to fight, but not industrialists/plantations, but 99% / 1%. Know who serves your interests.

I still don't believe that Trumpty Dumpty won the election. I worry about Republican dirty tricks and the usual purges and lack of voting places.

The only thing that we hear over here in the U.S. is that the British hate Rawlings. No explanation given, just the public reaction. That's how news is in the U.S. Anything you can tell us would be great.

This man gutted our government while putting us trillions in debt. He is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. He incited a riot on January 6th because the Vice President did his job and expected him to be assassinated. He promised to bring down prices, end the Russian war on Ukraine and did 0.

As I've said before, some billionaires must be eaten. We won't get another FDR. That may be for the best though, as he worked to preserve capitalism.

If you would join a party and take part in it, you would find that more trans people would be willing to take part and thus, trans people would get more representation. I will say it again though, because I don't think you understand how our government works. It doesn't matter if Dems arent elected.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I'll be out in the streets in the day and in the Democratic party at night fighting for a better party. I do believe that this is not going to change until a few billionaires die, though.

Democrats never get the microphone. They should have been building a propaganda network in the eighties when the rules were changed. All we have so far is Free Speech TV.
Paripetia (@paripetia.bsky.social) reply parent
It was the Republican party that is banning LGBTQIA, not Democrats. If you see representatives agreeing to this under the Democratic banner, they are not Democrats, they are Republicans. Also the Republican propaganda machine is powerful. Are you SURE they actually said these things?

Paripetia (@paripetia.bsky.social) reply parent
It is elusive only because the Democrats never invested in propaganda outlets the way the Republicans did, and so many people actually believe what they hear on these channels and read in the newspapers and magazines. They also own tv and movie studios. They are making our reality. FreeSpeech.org

We had no cops before the Civil War, we had a slave patrol. At the turn of the century it became the police, used to arrest the black community to plant and harvest because prison is the only place where slavery is still legal. Later it was used to control union activity and then protesters.

I, too, remember when "conservatives" & Republicans pretended to care about this thing called "economic uncertainty" because the Black Man in the Tan Suit supposedly mused a bit about modestly higher marginal tax rates & incremental regulatory changes.

Their day is going to come. Let's not forget that when the Germans were brought to account, it was decided that, "I was ordered to kill" was not a defense. They should have fought with every fiber of their being to stop it.

I believe that Democratic Governors should start sending their National Guard to red states---since their homicide rates are SO high. Don't ask, just head on out! Take THAT, Mike Johnson! (Louisiana consistently has one of the highest, if not the highest, murder rates in the United States).

That isn't true. There is a trans woman in our local party and I do not know of any party, local or national that does not support trans people. Of course, there's nothing we can do when we are out of power.
