Liberals who are now cheering Trump for bombing Caracas and abducting Maduro should realize that Greenland will be next. This is might-is-right imperialism plain and simple and if this remains uncontested (as is likely to happen) there will be no way to stop Trump and his fascist administration.

Mamdani defined what he calls the politics of the future in his post-election speech.
This is how you beat fascism: not by administrating the decline (hello Democrats), but by contrasting the darkness of fascist end-times obsession with the vision of a new dawn. More of this, please 👇👇👇
