Soon, nazism, segregation, discrimination and other right wing nonsense will be straight up normalised like it’s no big deal.

      ABSOLUTELY! The US Left is so small and separated here. The Left side of the Democratic Party, which in no way can be misconstrued as communist or socialist by anyone with half a brain(hence the reason Republicans often call AOC a communist), do not challenge capital interests very much at the end of the day. AOC’s slogan (which I bought into when I was younger) was literally “TAX the rich” playing on the popular proletarian call to action that is “EAT The Rich”. She isn’t even hiding the fact that she upholds their wealth and their right to property on such a disgusting scale, she just wants it taxed a bit more, so the government gets its share to fund libraries and hospitals and schools (and like 5x that on military spending for what the US loves to do). The second that the US Left was a threat to capital interests, the far-right would be going all out.
