Well, to start, all the rich left winger hollywood sorts should be funneling their absurd wealth into programs and initiatives that counter the authoritarian fascist agenda. Oh, no, those people, like Leonardo Di Caprio, are too busy preaching to us about green/progressive values, while slutting around with 25 yo models on private ‘carbon-footprints go brrrrrrr’ yachts in the Mediterranean, and or funneling their money into pro-Israel/genocide denial/PR spin efforts, etc. The notion that the right wing has all the money is strange, its more that the progressives just dont want to contribute / back up their words with actions. And, what goes for those hollywood showboaters, goes for a large majority of Americans who come online and whine about it not being their fault.
And it goes triple for the democratic leaders, who are either too limpwristed/ineffectual to be able to accomplish anything significant, or are quietly complicit/encouraging the same general agenda – implying that, based on your democratic process, the agenda isn’t a “wedge issue” between the two sides of the country, but they’re all basically in lock step. Afterall, some democratic politicians have said they favour the tariff approach, but they’d be ‘nicer’ in the language as they tried to fuck all America’s allies over – and it’s highly unlikely that they’ll do much to reverse the damage Trump is causing on that front.
And yes, if there’s no representation / your government’s gone rogue, the assumption from the rest of the world is that the American people would nut up and solve it with Violence. Because news-flash, that’s the image America has branded itself as historically – and they’re increasingly showing that they only understand the threat/use of violence on the world stage in terms of international relations.
