I find that Bluesky has gotten more unpleasant with so-called "leftists" taunting us with a Trump victory. What's worse is that many of them are from other countries encouraging American leftists not to even vote at all.

I see a lot of Brits advocate to leftists not to vote.

You'd think they'd be less smug, seeing as how they had two shots at stopping Brexit and fucked up both times.

Lots of British leftists hate the Labour Party now. Truth be told, there seems to be a growing trend for Marxists in the West not to engage in electoralism these days.

Anyway I don't know how much louder it can get for those in the back. This type of shit should be on every news page. Every news channel. All of them. There's saying the quiet part out loud and then there's fucking saying the quiet part with a fucking megaphone.
Media corporations are by and large owned by rich conservatives who want a Trump victory.

A distressing notion for sure. Yeah attacking the media is commonly thought of as a right wing tactic. But what if these outlets aren't so sparkly clean after all?

Just to make absolutely sure, there's no actual non-academic language use in English for the German word 'Reich' except to refer to the Third Reich, aka Nazi Germany, is there?

I didnt even know this. Thats fucking crazy.

Dipshits who want to same things both sides this election please pay attention to the fact that one side is literally declaring themselves to be nazis.

We need to stop using words like "similar", "resembles" or anything to that effect. There's no such thing as sarcasm or satire here. When they declare themselves to be nazis, they are nazis.

They want you not to vote and to give up, simple as that. Its a ploy by the righties, no doubt.

Agree with all of this. A better argument for people who want to make it "Biden v Trump" is to make it "Democracy v Fascism". The Republican Party will absolutely turn us into some model of either Hungary or Russia if they're ever given the chance, with or without Trump.

This is an excellent way to frame it. I wish I had put it this succinctly and well.

do they, though?
If asked they will say they "hate nazis" because nazis are largely portrayed as an abstract concept of ultimate evil as opposed to a specific political party in the american zeitgeist, but if you ask a republican about almost any nazi policy in particular without the context that it was a nazi policy they will say they like it

Fascism will try to make uneasy temporary alliances with outgroups that they consider inferior in order to vanquish a common enemy. Once the Palestinians are completely eradicated, the Nazis won't even give Israel time to breathe before starting their genocide.

Yeah, shit's fucked. Also gives some new perspective.

Not all Republicans are Nazis, but all Nazis are Republican.

And that's more than enough reason to never listen to Republicans.

Snopes fact check found out that this may be a case of carelessness instead of intent:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/unified-reich-trump/

Some people replying to @BidenHQ's post noted the clip was created using a stock template called "Newspaper Vintage History Headlines Promo" found on a video-design website called Envato Elements.

The footage in, and the style of, the Truth Social clip matched the footage and design in the Envato Elements template, therefore it was likely made using Envato's software.

However, whoever created the video shared by Trump's Truth Social account failed to remove existing references to the "creation of a unified Reich" when editing it.

Snopes could not determine the source of the footage to establish whether or not this was an intentional decision.

Basically the Trumper didn't write the "Unified Reich" part themselves, it was just placeholder text in the video template they lazily ripped for the ad. They then either failed to notice it or didn't care that it was there.

It doesn't really matter since Trump consistently spreads other Nazi rhetoric anyway, but bigotry and ineptitude come in matching levels from him.

Nah.

Multiple times in the video you can see the editor of that video was playing with the headlines and newspaper text.

There's no missing it or giving the benefit of the doubt.

Nazis propagandists don't miss those things.

To be fair, it won't be. That is the approach that has gotten us here. Biden is probably the best case compromise candidate right now and he is struggling to just stem the tide, let alone actually improve things.

However, there is no other choice at the moment. If we're talking president, the options are Biden, Trump or "I don't care". The left needs to take some notes from the far right strangely. They need to show up to every election and vote. They need to look at the "lesser" elections and start winning there.

Youre talking about a tiny fraction of people who get targeted by Republicans to ensure that they get covered for every dumbass issue there is.

The Democrats dont skew where the bulk of their constituents are on the fringe like Republicans.

Its bigger, more ideologically diverse so while there are several positions within the group it does tend to get boiled down to 1 or 2.

How so? Incrementalism is what got us here in regards to the right. They've been working toward someone like Donnie and shit like overturning Roe for decades. If the right acted the way the left does, coincidentally we'd be far better off right now because they would have given up long ago because they didn't get their instant gratification.

If I can go on a mini rant, it's because right wing economics is great for those in power. They can avoid the social policies that negatively affect them and they increase their wealth. As such, they'll compromise on the social policies if it'll retain the economic side. Those same people have fought hard against left wing economic policies every step of the way. They would prefer fascism over losing even a fraction of their power. So long as you have American style capitalism, this is the end result.

You're right that the right has been at this for decades now, but there's been a fairly equal share of time in power. Each Democrat administration is ending up further right than the last. I don't believe that Biden is a noticeably more right wing person than Clinton and Obama, but the overton window has absolutely shifted further right each time. I can say that Biden is the most progressive president in quite a while, but America certainly isn't.
