The US has a “left” it has just been beaten into submission and told to vote for D or it gets the hose again. And I think now it’s realized it’s not alone, and it’s fighting back. This country fought a war to depose a king. This country fought a war to end slavery. This is a country that has spent basically all its history trying to protect itself and others from what exactly is currently happening. Yeah obviously they didn’t do a great job stopping this earlier, but this is not a country that is going to let itself be taken over by conservative right-wing religious fascist authoritarianism, despite the current evidence to the contrary. The country just needs a little time to remember who it really is and shake some of the rust off, because yeah, it’s been quite awhile since any of us in the west actually needed to fight for anything significant in our lives. But I also think it’s silly to expect we won’t. I don’t think the great American experiment is over, I think it’s going to continue and we’re going to see how that actually works.
Maybe I’m wrong, but there are still way too many good people down there, and there are good people outside the US who want them to succeed too. The real fight will come eventually. It’s anybody’s guess when, where, and how. They may be down right now but don’t count the US out just yet I think they’ve still got lots of rounds left in them.
