    I am quite conflicted. On the one hand this is extraordinarily bad for American democracy, but there is a feeling in me that said democracy farce at this point.

    I also believe that this will justify further violence from the right towards lgbt/left/immigrants etc. But would that happen anyway?

      Yes, a bit of Reichstag fire vibes, huh? Here’s hoping it won’t be quite that bad, but it could happen…

      Political violence is a symptom, not a cause

      We were already here. Lawmakers have already been killed. Just, no one took it seriously because the Democrats miss every moment

      And yes, they were already invading Chicago. They were already calling to arrest political opponents. They were going to do it all anyways

      A lot of people put a period instead of a comma in the middle of an “if, then” statement. I don’t know why.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to as well. If one sentence doesn’t make sense on its own, then it shouldn’t have a period at the end. Maybe complex sentences are too difficult for some people…

      If you zoom in, it looks like that thing is actually a messed up comma that barely has a tail. It’s like the spork of punctuation!

    Is this image edited or is his face really that disproportionate to his head?
