The Difference is YOU [1]

The election was for all the marbles — they won and they are not gonna stop winning.
The idea that you are gonna stop them is laughable. That is if you play into the trap and react in expected ways that your opponent plans on you taking.
Perhaps a better way of solving the puzzle you are in is to step back ans see how it got here.
Yes yes yes — we all know a bunch of billionaires went all in on fascism.
They didn’t just say — ok Im rich and i want fascism, here it is.
This has taken decades and been very cost inefficient.
People in general don’t like fascism. If your choice is be a fascist or suffer — wellllll pick your battles if they control the “or else.”
We have been slow boiling frogs for decades — and the paper cut that caused the most change was “culture war”. The money that has funded the culture war is insane. The cost of manufacturing reality is much like AI … very very very very big drain on energy and resources.
Culture changes when humans are exposed to the changing experiences different culture gives them. More people want it and adapt it to the way they want it. You can use money to influence it and we do. When control is the objective spend wisely spend often and spend heavily. But it doesn’t need to be that way lot’s of cultural habits and expression cost next to nothing and change everything.
Yes — change the culture and the politics change on their own.
So you the isolated individual being crushed by fascism are an agent of culture, you have influence and are influenced. People like you, there are people that like you and there are new friends to be made in the most unlikely of places. You have hobbies and skills and passions unique to you, other people want to see them and copy them. These channels of connection change culture faster than the astro turf billionaires buying up the tea party and billionaires funding internet influencers and staging event after event after event.
People believe something and then see. Belief proceeds reality.
You are trapped in culture of propaganda and lies messaged to those that the culture war netted into the cult. They believe
Making logical arguments is making headaches. Fascists go all in on bigotry. Bigotry is the use of bullshit and a claim of allegiance to a higher cause or belief to sucker other people and get your way. There’s a million articles on KOS about hypocrisy on the right, well duh, claiming to be a constitutionalist was bullshit — it put the moral mask on, they wink and nob at each other and do it to fuck with you and usurp power and position. Same for christianity and family values.
Experience changes belief
This is where you come in. You are the experience. You make culture. Your way of living influences others and changes their beliefs.
The road map out of here comes from within you and your ability to be smarter and craftier and more loving and more authentic and more genuine.
Whatever it is that you are good at and have a passion for — how can that change culture. Figure that out and break the hold that is choking you. We all want to pull our hands out of this finger trap, so welcome to your frustrations.
******* Interesting bit of propaganda today.
The notion that bullet casing were found and inscribed with transgender and anti fascist.
Wow — now that’s a dog whistle to the cult…. like the 911 evidence of korans in the cars of the believed attackers as proof that they are the suspects. Drivers liscences found in tact from exploded burned up planes??? Yeah …. ok ….. trust the sources that give you kind of information……
Given the stupidity of the era we live in — there is another reaction that will come from this propaganda and it’s echo to the past is loud.
“Stonewall”
People in general love a modern world of sexual fluidity… whether they say it in public or not. Humans have been getting off with each other in fun pleasing ways since we have been here. the bans and enforcement on this activity are unwanted. The kids are tired of adult stupidity. More of them than you — know what stonewall was, and is.
The kids — all of em — whether the adults in their lives be blue or red — see that the emperor wears no clothes and are pissed at the stupidity of today's adults.
The whistle was blown and all the ears have heard it. Not everyone got the same message…..
