So should we be pulling cash out right now or is that me just panicking?

    Yes. But you don’t even have to buy the Mexican food. There are infinitely many scenarios they can come up with for liberals to keep justifying the line moving.

    These types of “reasons” are not the fascist “finding loopholes”. It’s just a means of keeping the illusion of the systems still operating. If the system is still operating then “we can take it back”. It’s for liberals to believe that if they were tarkets that they could “justice” their way out. That maybe they’ll even be protected by their white privilege.

    Fascist don’t let you take it back using the system. When the midterms don’t go well. We’ll have liberals continue to fight to “fix the system”. We’ll get “justice for the voters” and lawsuits that go nowhere. We’ll get a couple well intentioned politicians that speak out against the fascist. Allowed to speak only so long as they are needed to maintain the illusion of a fight. Spending the next two years moving the line with each step so we can pretend the system is still saveable.

    Buy your Mexican food. If you’re a target it won’t matter what reason they use to justify taking you. Better than getting your lunch at a corporation that supports this.

        Read a history book mate. I’m using history to understand the present. Hell, Wikipedia can help you. This isn’t about shitting on individual people in this country that call themselves “liberals”. This is about understanding how liberal democracy enables the rise of fascism and why it is insufficient in stopping it.

          I’m aware of what liberalism is, and I’m not even defending it.

          What I am doing is pointing out something that I found interesting about your comment.
