    The far right has been emboldened. You’re seeing people start to say the quiet part out loud, and they’re shocked when they find their peers don’t agree. I’ve seen it personally and know many others who can say the same. It’s scary stuff.

    I remember from HP, that once the deatheaters took the government suddenly everyone was a deatheater. It felt so unhinged back then…

    Consider now what you might do if selected for a jury for someone who [censored] one of these KKK/nazi guys.

    Know what jury nullification is but don’t advertise your knowledge.

    To paraphrase Ultron

    “They’re confusing peace with quiet.”

    If you want them to go away, you have to do more than complain.

    This is going to be normalized in 4 years.

    Oh yeah, they’re warming up. And it’ll be allowed, of course, because fat-ass Trump will not care in the world except himself, to allow this.

    … the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.

    If we’re not already beyond “peaceful approaches,” we’re gonna be real soon. Prepare to !Resist@fedia.io.
