  • I guess the logical progression is to go after the most accessible level…meaning eventually the office workers would probably be a target, which isn’t great.

    That, or people go after, like, their extended families instead…which isn’t exactly great either…

    Maybe flooding a country with firearms and putting them into its constitution isn’t such a good idea



  • So then, will you call out the blatant corruption by the incoming President as well?

    The private talks with foreign powers since the last time he was in office and the utter silence from the Right tells me that no, you won’t. Anyone with half a brain knows how utterly full of shit this pearl clutching is…but at least it’s on model for conservatives: hypocrisy all the way down.





  • Its going to be interesting seeing the Republicans do their batshit policies, as people REALLY hate having their bottle taken away (“bottle” in this case being the ACA, prices of goods, abortion access, etc.)

    The United States just needs a reminder of just how bad things can be. They’ll learn if you keep hitting them hard enough…






  • Yeah…at best they’re just useful idiots for the powers that be to exploit/point out as “look they are all crazy.”

    Having dealt with them, they seem utterly committed to both parties being bad because they both serve capitalist ends and the ruling class (which is true tbh), but then fail to grasp that while both sides aren’t great, one side is at least doing SOMETHING positive while the other is actively trying to destroy things.

    Just from a climate standpoint, at least the Dems are passing some kind of legislation about green energy and agree it exists, whereas the Republicans deny it and want to cut all remaining protections. This leaves us with two options: either these people want things to get worse out of some desire for change acceleration (yikes), or they really are just that stupid and can’t see any difference.

    But also, you are literally killing Palestinians by saying these things - join me in waggling my finger at the government to feel better about yourself!




  • Unlike the Republicans, I am of course being facetious in my statements, though, one could make an argument such a thing is already occurring with Police and minorities…

    That said, the plans Republicans have put forward absolutely do include the outright killing of “pedophiles,” with “pedophile” being defined as "any person that distributes obscene content to minors or espouses “sexually explicit things to kids,” effectively allowing them to kill drag queens or LGBT+ people as their very existence is labeled as obscenely content for minors.

    I don’t know why the Dems don’t drop some of their gun control policies, but its not an issue I’m really super concerned with either way compared to other things.





  • Sigh… we both know this isn’t going anywhere. Neither of us will give in because both of us feel strongly about our positions and will not budge on them because of our feelings that we are doing the right thing (and no amount of saying I support genociders will change that).

    Anything you say that’s less than Russia totally pulling out of Ukraine I can easily say is supporting genocidal dictators in the same way you say voting for the Democrats is supporting genocidal regimes and we can keep going back and forth ad nauseum, so I’ll save us both the trouble.

    Just remember, the average American is wildly less socially conscious than you’d like to believe, though the fact that so many poor factory workers are anti-union should make that somewhat self-evident. Whatever you plan to do better be a bit more compelling than just talking about Muslims a world away to the decidedly closed-minded rural population of Middle America.
