Let’s fucking go.

They made this bed for all of us. Time to sleep in it. We’ve got rice ‘n beans. We can grow potatoes and raise chickens.

If they feel the pain, they may change their ways. If they’re kid-gloved away from the consequences of their own choices, they most certainly will not.

Do not obey in advance.

Humble men are preferable to proud boys.

Yeah. He also said he’s “mad at Putin” this week as well.

In high school, I thought that this stuff couldn’t happen here, not anymore, at least not at such a scale, and I was amazed that it had happened at all in the first place.

Now I know better.

About goddamned time.

I’m a white middle class cis gender heterosexual person, and I don’t feel safe at all.

“The devil… the prowde spirite… cannot endure to be mocked.”

Psychedelics have a counterintuitive tendency of making pre-existing clinical narcissism and sociopathy worse.

The the age old Problem of Evil.

If we could somehow figure out how to cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 90% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

Nobody wants to be the first person to “go there,” and really protest (beyond waving a few cleverly worded signs on the sidewalk). The first person to take protests to the next level (i.e., throwing fists, rolling cars over, occupying government buildings, confronting masked cops during kidnappings, showing up with arms, whatever) gets mowed down rather quickly.

Ineffective, and it gives the current admin the leverage to bring the hammer down quickly, before an opposition can recoup and really organize.

People are waiting for a critical mass, and “the moment,” when they’re assured that everyone else will turn out en masse at the same time to set shit ablaze, French-protester-style. But nobody knows when “that moment” will be, exactly. Or if it’ll ever come. So, who’s gonna go first?

And who wants to go at all? It’s easy to talk a tough talk when you’re young and you don’t have family depending on you for their survival. Then again, those with children also want their kids to have a country to grow up in that resembles the one we grew up in (or, optimally, far better). So, quite a pickle.

Perhaps “the moment” will never come anyway, and we’ll all just whimper our way into Fascism.

Fuck no.

It’s insane that he’s not in prison.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after every other option has been exhausted first.

American here. Our boys are nearly draft age. This shit is terrifying.

Fuck these people.

I used to be a Moderate. But then the Right blew up the Overton Window and went full Fascist.

I didn’t move along with them. I stayed fucking put. But now, relative to them, I am a Radical.

And I’m ok with that.

We shouldn’t be forced to move right.

I guess.

Even talking as much as they do – and inciting as much conflict as they do – sounds exhausting.

Where do Fascists get the energy for all this shit‽

Massive control-freakery and flood-the-zone sounds exhausting. I’m exhausted just by working and raising a family.

Fucking extroverts, man.

There is absolutely a far lesser of two evils here, though.

Comcast sucks, but they’re not actively dismantling our institutions.
