Partly agree. I would criticize liberals that believe the lie of "voting is the only thing that matters". They will happily spend the next 4 years saying shit like this because they won't actually be hurt by fascist policy directly. They can make comments like this and move on with their day.
That would require them to be a part of a minority group being targeted OR be working with activist groups that are helping to protect the targets of ICE.
I'm a white male. I could ride this shit out until the USSR flies their flag over Berlin. But I'm not doing that. (And I was already on a list long before Trump rode the escalator anyway).
But if someone that is a targeted group and/or is actively resisting Fascism says this. Well, it's probably just them letting off some steam. But, you're right. I do find this is just liberals saying "America deserves this" as an excuse to not do anything that doesn't personally hurt them directly.
I can get behind your sentiment of just blowing off steam, but I feel like it actually has the opposite long term effect that these people are going for. What I mean is that it creates a sense of complacency.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Trump regime is going anywhere. There is no riding this out. You just have to turn on any news source to see the violations to peace, freedom and democracy he's violating. It's been 6 months and this much has already been done. Very sadly to me, I don't think peaceful protest or voting will change anything.
We've all read history and we can surmise that this will only get worse. Much much worse. He's coming for everyone who dissents one group at a time. We, with any kind of wisdom, know where this goes. The only positive change will call for crimson streets.
My suggestion to blow off steam is to learn to use a gun and how to use it well. Words are water off the backs of the pedo class. I hate this new world.
Dawg in what world do you think liberals won't be targeted? They are your allies
They are potentially allies. But they are also just as likely to be the ones left when "there was no one left to speak out for me".
That's literally the point of that famous poem. It's about watching and doing nothing as Fascism targets each group they don't belong.
It doesn't start with "first they came for the Liberals" it starts with "first they came for the communist".
A lot of liberals will just go along and continue about their normal lives until it's too late. They aren't our allies.
The ones that are willing to get out there and do stuff are.
