it’s more likely in the next few days that the fash will take the streets, especially as trump announces how he will contest the election. after all, chaos is his best bet for getting the powers that be to allow him to retain power without a fight. so don’t fucking tell people to stay home. it’s absolutely critical that everyone pays attention to what’s happening in their own backyards and steps up to engage in appropriate community defense.
the election is just a stage. stop confusing it with the conditions that compel people to act.

They are not going to come out for you when you get your comrades murdered. They’ll call you violent rioter socialists.
this is ignorant of the history of antifascist organizing in this country over the last twenty years. people do absolutely turn out in sufficient numbers to shut down fascist actions.
it’s advocating that everyone stay home that I’m objecting to - that accomplishes nothing but diminishing the strength of any response to fascist activity.
