A post that Mr. Trump circulated on Sunday called for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted by a military court reserved for enemy combatants and war criminals.
Included in the list of people to be brought up for war crimes against the United States were Current President Joe Biden, Current VP Kamala Harris, former VP Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger and Representatives Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Zoe Lofgren and Bennie Thompson.
Surely, surely, a significant portion of conservative voters can see that this isn’t what democracy should look like, even if they’re ardent republican supporters.
republican allegiance is to the bible, not the constitution. they say a lot of things about the constitution, but in the end, they just want christo-fascism. some of them are true believers in the make believe, others just use to justify their own cruelty.
either way, their motives don’t matter. it’s all about what we’re going to do about it.
When your neighbor waves a loaded gun in your face, do you whine about how no neighbors should be behaving like that? Is that effective? That’s basically begging for morality.
Stop preaching morality to your foes. The servatives are too far gone. The billionaires are too far gone.
No more hopium and copium.
We need to wake up to what IS, as opposed to what we wish it were.
If morality could solve any socioeconomic imbalance, billionaires would ban and outlaw morality.
The fact that morality is always promoted and no one went to prison or was assassinated for promoting morality means one of two things: either a) morality doesn’t exist and can’t work even in principle, and instead we have a bullshit narrative to make people more timid and more self-doubting to make from them more manageable subjects, or b) real actual morality does exist, and when taught WOULD threaten the billionaires and other exploiters, and thus WOULD effectively produce societies centered on broad wellbeing, but we were never exposed to it in religion or in any university level class.
If it’s b) then such morality isn’t based on begging and pleading with the unwilling and uninterested parties. And also if it’s b) then preaching such morality would be viewed as a threat to today’s trash status quo and a threat to the morbidly wealthy billionaires.
Whether or not it’s “what democracy should look like” is an opinion often based on whether you’re on (or think you’re on) the giving or receiving end of the oppression.
I get that, but I suppose I’m trying to say that there’s a point at which even if you’re not on the receiving end of the oppression you have to recognise that something’s not right.
They’re fascists, Sandy.
Take a fucking hint.
Surely not all conservative voters are fascists.
Most sure are.
That’s why they keep acting like it.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
