You embarrass yourself with your ignorance. Chapters of the Socialist Rifle Association have been involved in mutual aid efforts during the pandemic, as well as during the big Texan freeze. You do them all a disservice by slagging them off as a bunch of tankies. They are precisely the kind of organisations which might be capable of building the dual power structures necessary to be able to truly challenge capitalist hegemony. Workers organising themselves without needing the blessing of the state is a scary thing... if you're a capitalist or one of their lackeys.
The validity of a position has nothing to do with its popularity. Nor is its validity decided by who holds it. You call others utopian, yet you think the capitalists will just let themselves to be legislated out of existence? Politicians can be bought, and the corpos have deeper pockets than literally anyone else on the entire planet. Also, opposing membership an undemocratic neoliberal supra-state is not the preserve of right-wing headbangers, much as it might inconveniently complicate the thought-terminating cliches of certain Remainers.
The Democrats risk falling into the obvious culture war trap that the right are obviously itching for them to step in. Given past performance, I expect this latest legislation will do nothing noteworthy. Take the suicide thing for instance. Will the Democrats actually make any substantial efforts to address male suicide, beyond making everyone wait a bit longer for their guns? I predict that they won't, because the Dems don't care about ordinary Americans any more than the Republicans do. Private citizens don't and can't bribe them enough to care.
As for no revolution, got a functioning crystal ball, have you? Or are you just arrogant enough to think that history has ended?
