"#Hungary's opposition #Tisza party widens its lead ahead of #Orban's #Fidesz"

If Hungary goes sane in April, and then if enough of the lazy entitled lumps in the #USA show up to #vote in November (after showing up in the #primaries to get real left candidates: BE THERE), then we can put a real dent on our emergent #fascism
Fuck your #cynicism
VOTE
Let's do this, "degenerate Westoids" 馃き
@benroyce not sure you can actually vote out facism.
who won the 2020 us presidential election? and who was president at the time?
thank you to everyone who showed up and voted then
you agree?
so get the fuck out of here with your cowardice and premature capitulation
vote, you spineless asshole
if fascism does destroy us democracy, it will be because of MAGA, and meek submissive fear-addled weak whiners
you CAN vote out orban
you CAN vote out trump
you CAN vote out fascism
fuck this weak whiny defeatism
@benroyce you are missing the big picture. There is no real push back at all right now. We the people seem to think the Dems will save us which is not the case. We are in the five alarm stage now and people keep talking about voting and laws. The president doesn't worry about laws as he does what he wants like making himself billions of dollars. I have no idea what to do and don't see any real push back. Minnesota pushed back for a while and it's over even though ICE is in the suburbs right now.
> I have no idea what to do...
Here's one: vote.
Here's another one: encourage other people to vote.
Here's a third one: get involved with groups (I like Indivisible; there are others) that encourage others to vote and act.
Will those, alone, fix everything? Fuuuuuuu-uuuuu-uuuuck No.
But it's part of the process that might work, and taking action is *always* better than not. Welcome to resisting.
@jztusk @idahobucks @benroyce
We really have two choices:
Fight like hell by all means possible, and also vote so that we actually somehow win a rigged election and pull things back from the brink and move forward preserving and reforming some semblance of democracy
-or-
Fight like hell and don't vote, or at least don't vote hard enough to win the election, and then we'll need to fight even more and more violently and we devolve into a civil war and the entire Constitution falls apart and then even when the war is over we have to fight some more against the assholes to draft a new form of government that isn't actually worse than the one we inherited, leaving a lot of blood in the soil along the way.
I don't think voting alone will do it, but I definitely prefer option one over option two.
