    Yeah we’re fucked. We are actively watching the rise of fascism in this country with rhetoric like this

      It’s almost like the wealthy have always wanted this route. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, they can take the masks off.

      Good luck everyone, be kind as best you can and arm yourselves.

      They’re getting in line and showing what side they’re on, and they’re doing it fast. Bezos just got the jump on it.

      They’re on the side of letting fascism steamroll the underclass as long as they can get theirs before the house of cards crumbles.

      This seems to me like a signal that Democrats are formally cementing as a conservative / neoliberal party. Which makes sense. I guess maybe the upside is that maybe it will carve out room for an adjacent political body to the left as well, sort of like what happened with the tea party.

        I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they’d rather lose than bring in progressives. So it’d have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time

      We have been long past that point, it just took this election to make it obvious. This is who America is, and who it has always been. Denying just leads us further down the same hole.

    I saw this in real time and it was even more disgusting than can be conveyed in text. You really need to see and hear these two goblins shouting and wheezing to get an accurate picture of where they want Democrats to go in the future.

    And there it is. Already learning the wrong lesson. I really wish this wasn’t so predictable.

    Morning Joe is unprofessional trash and always has been. I literally only watch CNN for the few hours it’s on before switching back to MSNBC. The rest of their scheduling is pretty much the only good cable news left. I feel for people like Rachel Madow, Ari Melber, and Lawrence O’Donnell who are going to have to singlehandedly carry the load of the only progressive voices in news left.
