So, are the democrats and the American people, and all our public institutions, and private industry just going to sit around and let these fascist losers ruin everything, forever? Is that the plan? It really looks like that’s the plan right now.
I have 3 guns and am purchasing a 4th soon. I’ve added 8 cameras to the perimeter of my home.
I am not going to win, but I’ll go down fighting.
It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.
People who want to argue that point take it to mean “both sides are the same”. What it really means is both sides are complicit. It’s good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.
And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That’s a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it’s literally gotten to nazi america tactics.
The old barometer for how far they’ve gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we’re at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.
Let me repeat that. We’re at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.
But don’t worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a “no no no” motion, real hard. We’ll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you’re brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.
Yeah. Both sides.
There is still gay marriage in this country, and abortion was legal for 30 years. Very, very recently we have taken several steps to the right. Things have become much more open socially.
Damn, the bar really is on the floor, huh? Ya’ll’re gunna have to do a lot better than “gay people are barely allowed to marry in places where they have less of s chance of being beaten or killed for being out” and “we had abortion rights once but those were blown away and now the current admin that’s only just getting started is making sure things only get worse”.
I know them there readin’ skills ain’t top-notch in ‘Merica but maybe you would all benefit from looking to the rest of the world and understanding that the USA is pretty fucking dogshit in comparison to not only a long list of betters but even compared to a few of the countries that it considers to be backwater.
The USA sucks, big time. Horrid place full of horrid people doing horrid things under a horrid system they keep desperately trying to pretend is the only option despite all the evidence even from within their own recent past. Do better.
Gay marriage was a stepping stone. Democratic administrations have led the US forward on civil rights since Lyndon Johnson.
The first country to recognize gay marriage (not civil unions, which parts of the US already had) was the Netherlands in 2001. Almost all of the countries to do so since have been in Western Europe and the Americas. It may be a low bar to you, but it’s one that most have not risen above yet.
Look at the context of this thread. “Both sides” bullshit. The judges that nuked abortion rights were all on one side.
Which enlightened country are you from that it only recognized gay marriage in the last 25 years? Is your country immune to right wing propaganda? I’d love to hear how welcoming it is to immigrants of all skin tones.
I’m from Canada, we were one of the first to legalize it, if I recall correctly.
I need you to understand that this pathetic deflection tactic does not fool any but the most profoundly stupid. The US has an insane amount of resources to do so much good for its people and spends way too much of said resources attacking other countries and beating down its minorities and poor people. You’re failing an open book test where the professor is begging you pick the right answer and you’re still dragging your heels and screaming the whole time.
The US is a terrible place, not only for how bad it is but, for me especially, for how it could be so wonderful and actively chooses to be terrible. And then it goes around exporting that bullshit while acting like they had nothing to do with it to really round it all out. Many places are bad but the US takes it to a whole new, greasy place.
Congrats on being a whole 10 years ahead of the US on same sex marriage. Your nation is clearly enlightened.
I’m as pissed off about the direction of the US under Trump as you are. But the US was moving in the right direction for decades before Trump. There will be a push and pull. The Democrats have been the ones moving things forward, and in-fighting in the face of evil will not make things better.
You asked, buddy, and I’m sorry your gotcha fell on its stupid face, I guess?
The USA was fucking crawling forward and it was complaining the entire time. It is a country constantly falling behind in so many quality of life metrics, and in a constant state of barely hanging onto what few rights people had to earn with their lives. I need you to understand that the pace at which it moves is unacceptable and to be even remotely proud of it just shows your ignorance.
The Democrats are probably going to try to run Gavin fucking Newsom instead of AOC because they don’t seem to even want to win and because they don’t want to have someone in power who will push so hard for doing the right thing. Who knows, maybe you idiots will actually rally behind her during the primary, if you even get one of those, and the country can finally start its slow game of catch-up with the rest of the developed world, but I’m not holding my breath.
Good luck.
and abortion was legal for 30 years
50
Fuck, I’m old. 30 years ago was the 90s.
It makes sense why the cult and its leaders call progressives the “extreme left” because the center and the right has shifted so much.
The cult thinks Dick Cheney is the extreme left. They have no idea how far off the cliff they’ve fallen
When will the madness end?
Rise, rebel, resist!
No one is broadcasting the revolution. Throw sugar in ICE gas tanks, cut the power to Heritage Foundation offices, and shut the fuck up about it.
Sugar in gas tanks is a myth.
Then stick your dick and balls in there, as long as you do something. Doing nothing is not an option if you aren’t in a currently targeted group.
Am in a currently targeted group, and also doing things which are effective, unlike sugar in gas tanks.
Really focusing on that, huh? And not the message of destruction of fascists property? Dig in, then.
Sugar doesn’t destroy property - that’s my point. Are you literate? Make some caltrops or do something that actually works.
Bro you’re really not getting it. Hell, they agreed with you and now you’re just kinda going off on their literacy while proving that your comprehension needs work. The fuck do you want from them?
You’re weird for this; chill out.
Thats really cool, man. No one is posting their real plans to public forums. It was fun having this pointless argument for you to feel smart though.
You probably should delete this.
Don’t be a bitch
sure thing buddy, you do you and try making specific actionable threats online to specific places, surely no one has ever been prosecuted for that before
Keep hiding then. I’m sure that will work out great
ok, I can see you don’t really know what you’re talking about, so follow your heart I guess
True revolutionaries buy Sabian anyways
TOO FAR
the internet does not work that way
lol ok baby boy, make actionable threats to specific places and let me know how that goes.
Can’t delete things from the internet either way chief
Comedian turned activist Cliff Cash has a public call to action if you’re interested. He’s asking anyone who can come to Washington D.C. to join him to go to congressional offices this next Monday. It’s likely to not be a silver bullet to all this fascist bullshit but it’s a good fight.
I’m also pretty sure there are similar efforts and protests near you if you can’t make the trip today.
freedom
Those retards need to expire already.
The Trump team can lick ballsacks
That sound coming out of China…laughter.
Trump is going full Saddam Hussein much quicker than I would’ve thought. If anyone is curious, please look up what he did as he came to power.
Something something free market
He has gone full dictator.
They*.
The most important distinction.
Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.
It’s worked for ABC and CBS, why not CNN? Just threaten to pull their broadcast licenses, and accept a settlement bribe.
I suspect CNN won’t be the last.
Fortunately CNN isn’t broadcast (the C is “cable”). But they’ll still probably cave.
I can’t believe I’m living though my country’s Nazi era. History will not be kind to us. I hate all of this. My sister voted for this and I’ll never forgive her.
My entire damned family voted for it… even my closest sibling who had never voted republican in her life… that other side indoctrinated hard… I’m so disgusted, and she even said “I’m so sad ice picked up one of my favorite co-workers!” “And you voted for that” apparently wasn’t the comfort she was seeking.
I mean… these people are ignorant as shit.
Too fucking true… just hurts to see it close by. I know she’s smart… she’s just, well indoctrinated… that cult is a hell of a drug
It IS a drug - Dopamine - and they are addicted to it. The Conservative Propaganda Machine knows it, and feeds it, giving them constant hits of Dopamine all day.
I’m sorry for your pain - I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. Hang in there, we feel for you.
Ignorant isn’t the right word. There has been a coordinated propaganda campaign for 30 years pointing toward this goal. What you’re seeing in these people didn’t happen overnight. Yes they are also ignorant. Nazi sympathizers were average citizens. Fascist propaganda is a powerful drug.
Unfortunately, we can’t do what we should’ve done at the end of the first civil war
Dumb fucking bitch. Sorry.
Even if we can finally purge MAGA from our government, and even have it declared a terrorist/hate organization, how do we deal with millions of brainwashed idiots? They aren’t going to change their minds easily, and accept that they were conned.
They were conned once, they can be easily conned again.
if only there were some prior precedent of a nation state going mad and hitting rock bottom in the most catastrophic way imaginable, then pulling its head out of its arse and going to become a productive member of the world economy we could look to. That would be most excellent, ja?
Germany is basically full circle back into right wing bs now.
Restore quality education to prevent future generations from falling into the same traps of flawed logic and propaganda.
Probably the best thing we can do to prevent it from happening again.
I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
Who’s going to do it?
How America got to where it’s at now needs to be studied
It’s already been studied. It’s 1930s Germany all over again. We know how it started, we know where it’s going, and we know how it’ll end.
Then how was it allowed to happen again?
“Sure, Trump said it, but he didn’t mean it” and other such phrases that have already bitten people in the ass.
Human nature is to repeat history after enough time has passed and nobody is left alive who remembers.
Because people got greedy and felt they could depend on everyone else to keep the safeguards in place, while eroding them for their own unjust gain.
Germany learned how to genocide from America. The USA is still structurally the same as it was during its first genocide and during Japanese-American concentration camps.
But at least they owned the libs….
Soon CNN won’t be able to report anything that makes Trump look bad
And they’ll bend the knee. Throw some scapegoat under the bus, because this is the new Fascist America.
You chose this, America. Now no one will save us.
Oh cool, a president threatening to prosecute the press for reporting on something factually correct. Cool cool cool.
