Just as Germany industry chiefs were perfectly happy with Hitler coming to power, current megabros are perfectly happy with fascism taking root in USA.
The next few years are gonna be hard and suck a lot, the fight back will not be an easy one but it’s a necessary one. May the force be with you, sisters and brothers!
Side question (not a native english speaker): does english have a gender neutral word for sisters/brothers?
Others have pointed out siblings, but it’s also worth noting that, in the context of your comment, sisters and brothers is more correct. Sibling is more clinical and might be used in a description like “I have 3 siblings, 2 brothers and 1 sister”. When you are addressing a group, the more familiar brothers and sisters is appropriate. “May the force be with you, siblings” would be very weird.
This is true and specifically for sentence in question. It’s almost correct already (and I would argue an acceptable use). We’d just colloquially order it the other way round. “Brothers and Sisters”. Let’s not go down the rabbit hole of potentially why that may be and pretend it’s just alphabetical order…
Comrades fit better in this phrase but it makes you sound like a communist which is either a positive or negative depending on who you’re saying it to.
Your brothers and sisters are your siblings, but sibling is not a very affectionate word so I think most folks would say “brothers and sisters”, “compatriots” or “friends”.
The fight ahead is going to be a slog, but hopefully we can find solidarity, build a bigger tent, and unite under a banner of kinship and kindness.
For surely if we do not hang together we will hang separately.

Yes, you really need to make “communist” a positive thing again, finally.
Family works.

Capitalism and fascism are tightly interlinked with each other. End stage unregulated capitalism is just fascism.
Capitalism has absolutely nothing to do with democracy, and in fact is a very poor indicator of democracy.
So this checks out.

Not especially in that context, I would say the closest thing I use is “friends”.
‘Sisters and brothers’ rock!
