In ‘mirror world’, Trump is martyr and Biden is autocrat, as calls for violence erupt on internet after ex-president’s conviction

““If we jail Trump, get rid of Maga, end the electoral college, ban voter ID, censor free speech, we’ll save democracy,” says one meme in a QAnon channel on Telegram that depicts Biden in a Nazi uniform with a Hitler mustache”
Apparently they at least understand their opponent’s view .

Your daily reminder accelerationism posts are likely 70% Russian propiganda
Hey give some credit to America’s other enemies: China, North Korea, and Iran
The other 30% are criminally stupid Americans who either want fascism or are too dumb to see how their actions promote the end goals that they pretend to fight against.
I've seen more than a few with post histories that legitimately make them look like they oppose fascism, but GeNoCiDe JoE makes them help the other team light a fire in the engine of the fascism train.

The irony here is palpable.
If you're holding your nose in November like I am, I have no problem with you. But if that's your single issue, know that the alternative is much worse. For the sake of harm reduction, it's better to vote blue and stem the bleeding with someone who might bend to pressure vs the alternate option of 'finish the job' who wont.
If that's your single issue and you vote third party, that's the behavior I'm calling out, because like it or not, our system has only 2 parties that remotely have a chance in November. They're lining up behind a convicted felon who wants to bomb Palestine harder and all the shit that's in project 2025 while we argue and promote accelerationist behaviors to punish or try to make the party 'learn it's lesson' when history shows they only ever move right in response to losing the left.
I fucking hate that I have to vote Biden again, but I understand electoral politics and know that accelerationist stances only harm the most vulnerable among us. Harm reduction sometimes involves doing things you find objectionable because the only other option is magnitudes worse. Biden sucks in a lot of ways, but he can somewhat be reasoned with and doesn't want to take away my family members' basic human rights.
It's a shit choice, but life is full of shit choices. And more often than not, not playing the game defaults you to the worse option.
Hey look it's the comrade we're talking about
It's quite funny how the rhetoric has devolved to the point where comments like yours are almost indistinguishable from MAGA supporters who talk about people being "paid by Soros" all because I don't support funding and arming people in their pursuit of genocide.
Do you realise that there are political options beyond voting for either Trump or Biden? Maybe the people who are antifascist but opposing Biden are advocates for one of those alternatives?
and I’m not (only) talking about voting for the Green Party either.
Do you realize that alternative political opinions are immaterial to electoral discussions about who can win on a first past the post electoral system? Maybe those alternative opinions should understand that 3rd party voting historically favor the right, which is currently running an antidemocratic fascist who wants to rev up the friers on the current genocide and spark new ones close to home?
I'm all for alternative political options and work on those locally myself. But if you're only voting red party every 4 years, you're directly contributing to the slow erosion of our democratic process.

Salem Media Group and InfoWars are not Russian.
Radio host and prominent Donald Trump ally Alex Jones was told by an RT host that Russian President Vladimir Putin asked him to “say hi to Alex.” Jones has claimed that he was told years ago that ”Putin’s a big listener" and was previously informed that the “Russian government listens to" his show and the Kremlin partially “modeled” RT off of his Infowars network.
Fucking close enough for me.
Wait info wars is not Russian? I'm dubious
It isn't. Russia may be using or imitating them, but InfoWars is just the result of a guy trying to cash in on Limbaugh by imitating him.
Don't cut Alex short, he also cashed in on imitating Bill Cooper (who absolutely hated him).
