The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.

Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.

How exactly are these kindergarten word games going to stop fascism? I'm asking seriously.

They keep talking about "own the libs" but Trump has been the most liberal president we've had.

Its just that he's not liberal in the sense of leftist values.

I'm over here waiting to see whether the apocalypse is more Matrix, Terminator, or idiocracy. I'm leaning idiocracy, but I'm not giving up on the others.

We're legit too dumb to even build the Terminator or Matrix apocalypses IMO. They both rely on creating genuine artificial life.

Devastatingly, we might even be too dumb to get to an Idiocracy future. It's set in ~2500 and the earth is still pretty well habitable.

I think short term it's more Handsmaid's Tale in the US, and globally heading for perhaps Elysium.

Good times, good times.

So authoritarianism. Did we ban the wrong tankies perhaps?
