One word to break the fascist fever. One word to deflate the power Trump and his cronies think they have.

I’ve seen a lot of ink spilled recently over the Harris campaign’s recent adoption of the tactic of calling Trump and his cronies “weird”. There’s a lot of hand-wringing over the Democrats ceding the high ground or being unserious about serious matters, but this article, and especially the source material it links to by Sdrja Popovic (a non-violent Serbian revolutionary during the Milošević regime) about the power of humor in non-violent movements, really changed my thinking on this.

    This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports – and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven’t gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.
