Since Trump has returned to the White House, he and his administration have:
- Created a reign of terror in immigrant communities in cities throughout the country; - Established a torture facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida; - Increased economic hardship for the overwhelming majority of Americans while further enriching the capitalists; - Enormously expanded the federal debt, thereby creating conditions for further impoverishment of the majority; - Centralized presidential power to an unprecedented degree; - Moved towards seizing direct government control over universities' academic policies; - Used the office of the presidency to enrich himself to an unprecedented degree; - Repressed media criticism to an unprecedented degree; - Dismantled the few existing programs that limit greenhouse gas emissions; - Moved to dismantle government vaccine programs; - Normalized open and outright lying to an unprecedented degree; - Pressured Ukraine to surrender to an imperialist invasion while openly aligning himself to the #1 world centralizer of ethno-nationalism, bigotry and outright fascism - Putin; - Helped create open season for fascist gangs in the West Bank while creating a giant real estate project for himself and his allies in Gaza; - Moved to open national parks for oil and mineral exploration; - Renamed forts and military centers after Confederate generals. - aNormalized white supremacy and general bigotry to a level not seen since the 1040s; - Committed open war crimes by bombing boats in the Caribbean; - Moved towards going to war against Venezuela; - Established himself as a cult leader, complete with all the lionizing of himself similar to what Stalin, Assad and Saddam Hussein did.... - And more that I forget at the moment... During the presidential elections last year, the overwhelming majority of the socialist left devoted almost all their efforts to attacking Biden and then Harris, with hardly a word of warning about the danger of Trump/MAGA. Most of those who did so dishonestly and opportunistically hid behind the issue of Gaza, when in fact their real reason was that they have a principle of never voting for a Democrat ever. *So, my question is this: Do any of those on this list who conducted themselves in this way have any regrets, and also does anybody know of any socialist groups who did so that are now reconsidering their approach?* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
