I’ve seen a number of people trying to deny the truth, and it’s honestly sickening at this point. How bad do things have to get for people to acknowledge what I recognized on the night of November 5th? People really cannot handle reality as it is.

liberals have always been a joke that used “democracy” as a tool to empower select individuals, the whole system was corrupt from the beginning and im glad that something is happening, even if its a shit situation for anybody to be in :(
This is a little bit like having AIDS, getting a flare-up, and then saying “well I’m glad at least something is happeing”.
I understand the frustration at the general political ambivalence following “the end of history” in the 90s and the endless wars in the 2000s, but a flare-up isn’t going to make the aids go away. In the absolute best case impossible scenario where everything that’s been going on miraculously stops tomorrow we’re still locked into another 50+ years of consequences from this administration, just like we have problems decades afterwards that can be traced back to the Reagan administration.
In a worse case scenario, well, let’s just say that neither Germany nor Italy today are particularly better off or highly progressive compared to their neighbors. Like I said, having a flare-up does not cure your AIDS.
If someone has a counter example from history I would unironically genuinely love to hear it, because at this point I’ve given up hope of the world becoming a socially better place in my lifetime.
I wish liberalism failed on its own without descending into fascism. People are already calling for a return to the system that got us here in the first place.
