       It still blows my mind what's happening here in the US. The lead-up to Nazi Germany was hyperinflation, economic calamityAs of 2024, the US remained the most powerful, most prosperous country that has ever existed in the history of the world. And the main bloc of people who voted for its destruction live very comfortable lives

       @healyn> the main bloc of people who voted for its destruction live very comfortable livesWhat's your evidence for that? My impression is that MAGA draws a lot of its support from the Rust Belt and other places where workers have been negatively affected by the corporate globalization, which establishment Democrats still defend. Using that as a wedge issue, with superficial anti-globalization and anti-"elite" rhetoric, to weaponise them against liberals and the left.

       @strypey I have a reply in the comments that I have an anecdotal bias based on the amount of time I've spent on Long Island. Nationally, it's probably not the "main" bloc. But it's a solid portion

       The people who love to throw around that quote, "Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times" are the least self-aware guys who have ever lived

       We're executing ICU nurses in the streets and labeling them "terrorists". What do you even say about that?

       There are a lot of people saying, "don't watch the video". And I think that's probably true for most people (and anyone seeing this post)...but it's not a snuff film, it's evidence of murder, and a lot of people kinda do need to see it imo

But it's a solid portionOh for sure, the GoP hasn't shed it's the wealthy constituency that started to weaponise it in the 1970s;https://the.levernews.com/master-plan/They're complicit in what Orange Stalin's administration are doing, but they're not the MAGA base. They have more in common with pro-corporate Democrats like the Clinton's than they so with MAGA.
