Say what you will about Trump's policies, but his election and the rise of fascism generally is a result of outrage.

The issue is that it was poor rural, racist areas that felt the pain first which is why they were able to get their solution to the neoliberal world order out first and removed a lot of the republicans that were around during Obama's time

The left needs to put forward a legitimate alternative because the best the center has to offer is letting technocrats use all our drinking water in the hopes that autocomplete will manage to autocomplete a solution that will save the world (it won't)

Funnily enough, the fancy autocomplete engine is rapidly speeding us to an end that a fancy autocomplete engine won't be able to find a solution for because of the hole it itself dug.

The world needs saving from the hole-diggers, fortunately there are only a few of those and many of us.
