This isn’t the confederacy that’s taken over, this is a hostile acquisition by corporations. The key difference is that while there’s a blatantly racist tone to the current administration, it’s all a cover to make the racist conservative block feel like they’ve won, while the corporations get all the deregulation they want, and everyone who is not wealthy is getting their pockets cleaned and their right to complain removed.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” -President Lyndon B. Johnson
Yep, this is a class war, and the rich are winning.
They’re winning because the South are and have always been the ultimate class traitors.
Hitler wrote about Jim Crow with praise in Mein Kampf, the Nuremberg Laws just have his name written in at the top.
The main reason they voted for him? https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/politics/executive-actions-trump-school-choice/index.html
They got one of their greatest wishes back, it’s why they’re celebrating, they finally broke desegregation.
They can only see a class war as a race war, it’s their nature, and the only thing they have cared about since the founding.
In a war there are (at least) two sides that are fighting. This is more like a massacre.
This is the cyberpunk timeline coming together. We don’t get the cool tech or outfits until 2077

Denigrating an entire people is a fascist move.
Rdit: lol, already at least two people are cowardly down voting this. Definitely not fascist!
no group of votes decides anything in the United States because voting is a fantasy perpetuated by the tech and religious oligarchs that really run this country in order to continue the football politics charade
blaming your fellow sick because of no healthcare, polluted due to corporate plus military pollution, under educated because of an extremely underfunded education system, rights stomped in the mud citizens is only doing our jailers work for them
if we all rise we can all rise
quit being the crabs that pull the crabs almost free from the bucket back in
How exactly is voting a fantasy? All elections are rigged?
In the sense that it’s a two party system, yes. The ruling class only gives us the illusion of choice.
The choices are rigged. You can’t vote for change if change isn’t on the ballot… The best sounding politician in living memory was voted in. and we got…(Checks notes) increased drone bombing and sold out to the insurance companies.
Regarding insurance companies, you’re blaming Obama which is absolutely bullshit. Republicans are the reason for all those shortcomings
They are also to blame, but you see how thoroughly you are convinced that it is “the other guy”? That is the beauty of a rigged two party system. Your republican neighbor is all “Damn Obamacare” when the bill was a Republican design “pushed through congress” by a Democrat. Like a ballet.
I am convinced by the many sources of information I consumed. I watched this happen in real time. Democrats being shitty does not make them equivalent to Republicans. Republicans benefit from that lie.
