I'm over here waiting to see whether the apocalypse is more Matrix, Terminator, or idiocracy. I'm leaning idiocracy, but I'm not giving up on the others.

Cyberpunk is a possibility as well
The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.
Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.
use the term MAGA Party exclusively

How exactly are these kindergarten word games going to stop fascism? I'm asking seriously.
It won't help. It's purely cathartic. It's meaningless political tribalism. It will keep the commons quibbling and scratching while fascism only strengthens from the misguided and unprincipled rage.
Ok have you been to any protests this year? Do you plan on being at one on the 4th?
I have been to a couple but I'm unfamiliar with the protest you're referencing. I have mixed feelings about the protests I've witnessed, but it was nice to see people banding together regardless.
The Republicans tried doing a similar thing to the Democratic Party by calling it the "Democrat Party", but members of the Democratic Party basically just ignored this and treated those who used it as stupid, or offered "helpful corrections" to the user's "inadvertent mistake". Eventually, it lost currency because it failed in its goal of upsetting people.

ITT anti-leftism.
yall not solving fascism with neoliberalism, a capitalist ideology. just saying.
It has never worked in the past. Germany, Italy and Japan are famous communist nations, that's the only way to defeat fascism and Co.
what do germany italy and japan has to do with communism?
apart from a piece of germany being siege-socialist for a short while.
I legitimately don't understand your point? What?
Communism hasn't prevented fascism from rising, that's why communism bad?
The Nazis would likely have never rose to power in Germany had the social democrats not betrayed the revolution to preserve capitalism, btw.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. The American empire sat back and let the USSR and the Chinese communists take the vast majority of casualties to defeat those rival empires then made them into imperial vassals?

Too many people here just blindly hating on Bernie and nitpicking how "Stalinism is technically incorrect". Where's the Trump hate? Bring some of that shit out. I'll start.
Fuck Trump, MAGA, and their entire cult of personality.
protip: most of the bernie haters are forum sliders. Mods are even less likely here to do anything about it than on reddit.
Lemmy should be a place Bernie's policies are celebrated, but due to shills, bots, bad actors and just trolls, every post about him will be brigaded and turned into a shitshow
Lemmy is complicit in our march towards fascism and their lack of action is telling of their motivations

The GOP has become a Stalinist Party
They haven't killed remotely enough fascists to earn this distinction.
