Hey so let’s not go ham on the pessimism just yet. There’s a lot of things that can go wrong in a lot of places, yes, but we’re seeing a lot of good things so far. Let’s not assume he and the movement he’s starting is gonna fail a priori.
sure, but may i point out you are telling me to “not go ham on the pessimism” during modern American fascism spearheaded by a would-be dictator who has a hardon for deporting legal brown citizens and SCOTUS is fine with it
i’m not refusing, i promise. i won’t reject optimism—i am, however, going to constantly remind people how difficult this is going to be because not even half of Americans understand the basics of fascism. we are in deep and the legal routes are gone. i want the stark reality to be felt and understood.

Dude I’m right there with you. It’s dire. But refusing optimism when it’s reasonable only just hurts morale. This is reasonable.
