Liberalism is in such a fucking incredible state of crisis since the election. The total inability to accept the fact that the ideal neoliberal candidate (both economically and in terms of neoliberal identity politics) could have lost due to people not wanting more neoliberalism is just shocking.

Literally, liberals find it more reasonable to assume that like 84 tumblrs (that we still lack proof of their connection to IRA or whatever) undermined the election than to accept that the politics Clinton represented are not desirable to the masses. 

And of course, in this moment of crisis, liberalism shows its hand and reveals the insidious turn from liberal democarcy to a more reactionary social order. Discussing police violence is now misniformation and destruction of national unity. Attentiveness to white supremacy is now condemned by liberals. This is what we on the far left have meant all along when we say liberalism is the left wing of fascism. It is one economic and ideological crisis away from undergoing a transformation into something much uglier.
