My empathy would agree with you, but — while I’m well aware that racism and fascism are a product of ignorance, stupidity, poor education, and propaganda, all class warfare waged by Americas plutocrats — I also logically can’t see any way out of this, any way to deprogram the nazis, without the average American feeling pain; the same kind of pain America has inflicted on dozens of countries, and hundreds of millions of people, over the last century… So much instability, suffering, and political violence that they ultimately reject neoliberalism and conservatism, and revolt against the plutocrats that created this mess.
You can’t realistically “deprogram” tens of millions of MAGA. WW2 resulted in an ideological “cleansing” — a de-nazification — of the European population. So yeah… America will continue to devolve and regress until some sort of reset occurs, for better or for worse.
Yeah, there is no easy way out of this. And so long as it continues millions upon millions of people both inside and outside of the US will suffer. But that doesn’t mean we deserve this just for being born here.
Minorities in America shouldn’t have to fear being put in a concentration camp. Workers in America shouldn’t have to have their rights stripped from them,. Kids shouldn’t be put in a situation where they have to work in a meat processing plant, they shouldn’t have their chance at an education taken away from them. Trans americans shouldn’t have to face being pushed entirely out of public life.
All of this is fucking wrong, saying that we deserve it implies that we shouldn’t fight it. And we absolutely fucking should fight it; if we don’t it won’t just be us Americans who suffer.
