    Yet basically all dictators have been harsh on even the lightest of protests, since if you allow it, the protests will grow until you can’t deal with it.

    Public protests like these are highly useful to fight against Mr. Trump.

        Oh yeah, keep attacking their masculinity, that is one of their biggest weakpoints.

          I don’t think the ‘weird’ thing was really about masculinity. Conservatives value conformity, which is why they mock expressiveness like dyed hair; they think they are the default, and so being called weird and the insult sticking because they are fucking weird really hits them where it hurts

            Where it hurts is the money.

            Nobody seemed interested in hitting reactionaries in the money. Biden kept dumping cash into the pockets of Musk, Thiel, Zuck, Bezos, and Pichai. Neither do Hochul or Newsom. Dems have the power to hit fascism where it hurts, but they’re too terrified of losing access to the Infinite Tech Sector Money Machine.
