    Is everyone lost in the sauce in these comments? The meme is about holding fascists accountable for things like authoritarian actions, not passing milquetoast policies to capitulate to their voting base when they don’t follow through on 90% of what their campaign promises were.

    Talking Epstein action, state surveillance overreach, actual war crimes and unconstitutional breaches that are handwaved away or not addressed (usually strengthened or re-instituted during “progressive” times). This has been going on since the civil war, “Let’s move on and focus on the future, not hold people to standards or accountability (or the actual fucking law)”. I predict maybe 2-3 high profile cases during the next presidential term that will try to go after someone but will just be a drop in the bucket compared to what people are getting away with.

      lot of “far left” on these types on this platforms, don’t go to the political pages unless you like echo chambers, i got banned from one for pointing out immigration and youth job statistics that removing illegals was helping with the lack of jobs and got banned from that one and then was accused of bigotry by otter or m-p in another. They didn’t ban me but I blocked the group cuz i felt insulted by a poor accusation, the fact theyre admins for the Canada lemmy make me wanna look elsewhere. Save your time, trying to get through to some people isn’t worth it.
