Probably has bad taste in music. Huge fan of U2, I’d bet.

And his haircut is shit.

I mean, blowing up aid vans and air striking refugee encampments is pretty terrorist-y

Smug centrism is obviously the answer

Fuck Sinclair

“I’m also seeing more and more examples of Democrats telling corporations, laws firms and others that Trump won’t be in power forever, and that when that time comes they’ll need to answer for conspiring with President Trump against the American people. Minority Leader Jeffries made clear that when Democrats are in power they’ll hold people accountable for participating in Trump’s pay-to-play schemes.”

I’ll believe it when i see it. Sure, some of the low level Jan 6ers got put in prison after the last coup attempt. Beyond that, what the fuck have democrats done to punish the illegal shit the GOP has perpetuated for the last decade? All i see is a bunch of insider trading corporation suckling Republicans under a different banner that refuse to actually bring these cunts to justice. Until actual punishments are doled out against the people responsible for the atrocities being committed, high level Democrats like Jeffries are just blowing smoke.

Home slice, we’ve been in that stage since January.

It’s actually just a public zoom call this time

Wtf is that show supposed to be? After watching the clip, it just seems like a bunch of self righteous Republicans interrupting each other with no actual discussion.

Mans be getting his duties all over the constitution

Technically, yeah

Good read, thanks for sharing.

I don’t read that comment as apathy, more an acknowledgement that fighting seems inevitable at this point. It’s probably too late for a peaceful resolution to the current crisis.

You make some valid points. Sorry for the snark of the previous comment, it’s increasingly difficult to tell if people are actually wanting to have a conversation or if they are just arguing in bad faith.

Honestly, I think we’re at the point where there isn’t an option that leads to a non-violent outcome. The admin has made it clear that they intend to act as genocidally as they can get away with in regards to both immigrants and trans people. Peaceful protest hasn’t accomplished anything significant, and democrats in Congress have done next to nothing. Either the right escalates their violence unchecked or they escalate and the left starts fighting. I don’t see a timeline where this admin doesn’t further escalate their brownshirt activity and erosion of basic civil rights, unfortunately.

Hope I’m wrong, but I’m staying armed just in case.

refreshes frontpage/new for the 60th time today to see if the other shoe has dropped

Totally reasonable and not at all a pretext for more Nazi shit

I don’t recall this conversation ever being about peaceful protests. My point is that we have enough guns, but they do nothing if they’re being held by people unwilling to use them. The right is supporting all of this shit, and it either hasn’t gotten bad enough or it hasn’t gotten personal enough for the left to become willing to resort to violence.

OP’s argument that “we need more guns” is stupid when we’re in a country with more guns than people.

Your argument is stupid because you just assumed that i was saying there should be no guns when i didn’t say anything close to that.

It’s a purity check to not be amped about a guy that actively does the exact behavior that’s decried when the right is the perpetrator?

Being a hypocrite is enlightened centrism now?

🏆

Here’s your award for dumbest take of the day. The solution to violence has literally never been “yeah, everyone should have a gun”.

Not sure I’d call him a “wannabe” fascist at this point. Dude is ignoring the constitution, consolidating control over the media, isolating the US culturally and economically, and has picked at least two out groups to pin blame on while sending one (for now) to concentration camps. He’s playing blackout on the fascist bingo card and we’re less than a year in.
