    That’s not even a proper use of that meme.

    If Americans don’t wake up to the fact that both of our parties have been leading us down a road that only leads to fascism, we will just keep sinking in the quicksand.

    Look at it like this. Democrats are AIDS and Republicans are pneumonia. AIDS will never be the thing that kills you, but it’s the thing that should have been addressed to avoid the pneumonia. Pneumonia will absolutely kill you, but only takes hold when there is already a broader issue.

    Democrats took away our ability to effectively fight fascism, and now fascism has come for us. We might beat fascism back for a time, but failing to address the broader issue means that time will be short.

      Fun fact: Republicans are currently slashing the budgets of AIDS prevention organizations, budgets that were largely put in place by Democrats.

      But hey, “both sidez” lol

        It’s called an analogy. Actual AIDS policy is irrelevant to my point.

        But hey, “both sidez” lol

        Here is something “both sides” do, thought terminating cliches.
