This is the same argument as bringing on the Cheneys or throwing minorities under the bus. Just because someone is a Democratic voter doesn’t mean they’re in the bag and all policy should be crafted for what you think are the “gettable” votes in the middle. And I know anti-gun independents. Don’t confuse your personal preferences with being a silent majority. Gun control polls with majority support.
Not doing anything. I don’t want a status report, I just don’t believe that this huge group of tyranny-resistors is actually there and none of them are organizing shows of force to put the government on notice, but that you’re all just waiting for something more serious to actually decide it’s time for the well regulated militia to hit the streets. Maybe you’ll be out there when the shooting war actually starts, but I’m not even confident in that.
No, like you can just quit. Not disappear without leave. Resign
Where the fuck are all your dedicated gun nut independents? Because this issue that you don’t like and because of that assume that massive numbers of true independents don’t like seems to have added up to jack shit as far as exercising those cherished rights to actually do ANYTHING in response to unmistakeable tyranny.
And I’m not even talking about starting a hot rebellion. The MAGA shitstains armed up and showed the colors over school boards and vaccines, but actual assaults on democratic constitutional order and this supposedly critically large non-MAGA gun population can’t even be arsed to do anything. You’ve got a hobby and a fantasy that when things get Really Serious, you’ll be the hero, but that time is always somehow not actually happening, because it’s only supposed to be a fantasy.
Dictators often adopt the trappings of a democratic system and go through the motions to run sham elections.
And they can freely walk away at any time. Yes, there may be financial penalties, but they’re not going to prison like when the draft existed, which makes this a question of “how much money do you need to be paid to do this”, not a person forced to participate against their will.
We owe them psychological counseling and healthcare for injuries inflicted during their time, but they aren’t special people we have some inherent duty to respect and provide for.
“Need to”? No we don’t. Some military people will insist we thank them for their service, but everyone in now is a volunteer that saw what the military has done and is used for and decided to sign up. It’s a job, with benefits and pay, and we don’t need to support them any more than we need to support any other job, especially as this job involves a willingness to kill someone just because someone else says so.
And specifically because it was only instituted 60 days before the change in Congress. If this had been implemented before the election they couldn’t block it with a simple majority.
Why did this get upvoted? The programs highlighted are literally for children and actually do things to unambiguously help children.
Also, the thing they’re agreeing with is just antisemitism. Maybe the racial supremacist isn’t saying it for that reason, but it sure sounds like PP is.
And Zionism is a cultural movement separate from both. This fucked up shit is fucked up because Zionism is fucked up, not because Judaism or Jewish people are unusually bad.
Democrats don’t get to decide when the votes are.
They’re both fighting for the same niche. Sort of like Lauren Boebert and MTG. The whole operation has never been a team effort, just a bunch of self-serving assholes trying to get their own grift on.
Bannon was one of the trend chasers that decided they were at the out and proud Nazi phase and followed suit. Still kind of feeling it out, but definitely not an accident.

Most Democrats I want to see doing a lot more. Not her, not Joe, and not Hilary. They can and should disappear from the public eye. They had a direct and significant role in causing all of this.
They stink of loser and ego and corruption and morass. Go away.
Because there’s no reason to write a headline that implies this is an open question. The answer is no, and implying it could be anything but no is irresponsible. Someone reading a headline alone should be told that so if that’s all they read they don’t think the answer is more complicated than that.
Italy is lead by a fascist currently. And we just tried voting the fascists into office and that only made things worse.
Holy shit. I thought this was clearly intentional propaganda targeting the very extremely dumb that would take the mistaken impression from it without any of them being on record saying the fake part, but did no one tell him?
Oh, well if you’re not clumsily trying to entrap people with your week old account, then this is a really dumb post.
You don’t need other people to do violence, and if you’re trying to organize violence on a larger scale you sure as shit shouldn’t be doing it on a public message board.
You can literally just resign.
