givesomefucks,

trump isn’t the cause, he’s a symptom.

trump might be the worst so far, but so has every single Republican president going back to Nixon.

When the Republican nominee is finally not trump, there is zero logical reason to expect that next person to not be even more crazy.

We can’t keep reacting to them and treating every election like it’s the last night at the Alamo.

If we want to stop fascism we need long term planning, planning for what we do if we win, plans for when shit goes wrong, plans for fucking every contingency. Plans for the next decades even after we think we finally beat fascism.

That’s supposed to be the entire point of the national party. Long term strategy past any one candidate.

Instead they only care about raising as much money as humanely possible in the moment.

Shit is too real to just blindly vote blue no matter who, we need to start asking why the people running the party are even around. And if they’re honestly more worried about making money that stopping fascism.
