I'd rather have a politician who does absolutely nothing than a fascist.

Yes, this is how the two-pronged strategy works to ensure the working class never improves its standing.

Fascism only improves the standing of those on top.

That's what they said. You get given a choice between "drag things farther to the right" and "do nothing", with a system designed to always collapse into two functional parties, knowing you're too terrified of "drag things farther to the right" to meaningfully challenge "do nothing."

It's like a political ratchet.

They’re not political, they just wantt to see common sense policies on immigration (for brown people) and crime (for brown people).

Which is a shame because immigration can be one of the greatest boons to rural America.
