#no fascists

[dr-chibbers]

My friends, we may be thinking that we live in Germany in the 1930s.. and there are many parallels. But that’s only if we let it.

I prefer to think of it as December 8th, 1941: we are shocked, we are outraged and trying to make sense of it all. We feel hopeless, defeated and like we have been betrayed.Fine.. let us think that way.. but let us be like Americans were then. Let those who stand to oppress and marginalize us know that they have awoken a sleeping giant and we are and will be filled with TERRIBLE RESOLVE. Let our righteous anger and desperation to survive wash over the fascists, thieves and rapists like boiling wave! We’re in this for a long fight. It will not be easy, it will not be pretty, and it will not be fun. But we must fight, and we must win. For if we do not, the light of liberty and inclusion will be dimmed and possibly snuffed out in this country for perhaps generations to come.

Let this be our finest hour

Because someone is on the ball, Turner Classic is playing (among other WWII films) The Great Dictator today.

If you haven't seen it, please do. It was produced by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1930s, when it became clear that the war was going to happen, and came out in 1940 after it had started. Essentially, Chaplin realized that his famous mustache was about to be usurped forever by a fascist, and that fascist was going to kill a lot more people in the future than he had already.

It's a parody, made before the worst horrors of the Nazi regime were known to the general public, so there is discomfort here (if you've seen Disney's Der Fuhrer's Face, you'll get the idea), but the movie ends with Chaplin essentially saying "fuck it, no one else seems to be speaking out about this and I'm going to use my platform to do that."

For context, this character is a Jew who has been mistaken for the dictator (for obvious mustache-related reasons), and has been sent onstage at a rally to give a speech. Instead of trying to impersonate Hitler, he says what he really thinks. And keep in mind, Chaplin was coming out of semi-retirement for this. It was the first time most people had ever heard him speak, and this is what he said:

Fuck Trump. That's all.

Seriously though, I don't care what political side you lean towards as I know there's rational and irrational people on every side. But I won't support open Nazis, especially after knowing how the war affected my grandfather when he served, and how that party put him and his wife in a concentration camp.

Doesn't matter what the GOP are, don't bring up Abraham Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt, they are now the party of fascists.

Never Republican.

"man, every trans woman i meet has a shitty bed and small apartment and no money let's make fun of them for that, let's get self congratulatory assfaces in the reblogs saying they'll buy her a blanket, let's all point and laugh at the poor girl who is systemically discriminated against and therefore more likely to end up poor, unemployed, and homeless, isn't that so funny?????"

you guys talk about our poverty the way conservatives talk about iq

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

Distribute Aid, has been running a fundraiser to provide trans people with harm reduction kits when performing hrt at home. They're nearly at their goal but not quite yet, please help if you can, there are 69 days left. Until the goal has been reached I'll have the fundraiser pinned to both my tumblr and my twitch chat, and I want to let any subscribers know that if you've subbed to me recently, I will be donating all of it to Distribute Aid. When the goal has been reached I'll just move on to another fundraiser. Yes everything feels like it's going to shit and we all have a right to be pissed rn, but we can't wallow, there are people out there that are in far dire straits than any of us and they need our support now more than ever.

every time I see the myth "all fetuses start out as female lol trump just said we're all legally female" I feel like ripping out my eyelashes (knows how the development of the human reproductive system works) (hint: we don't "start out as female")
