    If the Dems were not just a thinly veiled version of the GOP and there was actually a “Liberal Media” this guy would be on 24/7. If this guy was a Trump supporter and the Dems had kicked him out, Fox/Oan/NewsMax would be running with this ad nauseam. He’d have a job on air ffs.

    We have all been abandoned. There are only a few elected Democrats who are not all “In on this” any longer. The vast majority have been bought and sold but have to give the guise of being on our side or there would be mass chaos, revolts, and riots in the streets.

    Behind closed doors they are all laughing at us like the GOP has decided not to make behind the scenes any longer and now just laugh at us in front of the cameras at the galas, balls, and feasts…

    What is the GD tipping point folks? Are we just waiting for the Trump supporters to wake up and realize they are just useful idiot pawns being played by the 1000 billionaires that want us all dead, too? A national reboot is going to require them to be on board, too, and I am starting to see cracks but man, we have a long way to go in reprogramming people who have been convinced their neighbors are the enemy and not the people in the castle casting a shadow on us all.

      If you’re so damn gung ho then get your ass out there. Knock yourself out.

      I’m sick and tired of keyboard warriors on here screeching about action that they will never take themselves.

        The most common response on social media to the democracy crisis in the USA seems to default to a need for extreme violence.

        This response seems to have skipped from frustration and “don’t blame me I voted” to “civil war is coming” – and jumped right over ‘time to furiously organize civil society’.

        Strategically, this is abandoning fundamental and practical matters. I don’t have much hope for success, those self-limiting ideologies seem to run deep even in the progressives there.

          I know there are actual people like this, but I do think it’s mostly foreign bots beating the war drums. It happens here too, though far less than on Reddit.

        Fascism doesn’t stop just because you ask nicely. I’m sick and tired of these keyboard warriors that preach peace and kindness for Nazis. No, I’d rather punch a Nazi in the face

          By all means be my guest. I love that you’re insinuating that anyone else feels differently just because they’re not constantly advocating violence in every post and comment.

        I already am. What the fuck are YOU doing about it. Cry harder and cope while you continue to ass up and open your pie hole. The fact that my post triggered your ad hominem speaks volumes about what you purpose is here. P L O N K
