    I should remind Couch Fucker Baby Man that protestors at Kent State started with chants and ended with throwing rocks before the National Guard shot 30 people. This will only end with innocent people getting hurt.

      Stewart recently did a podcast where he and his guests talk revolutions. He has a historian and the writer of Andor on for this discussion. Highly relevant and interesting. The random chaos of aligned planets, so to speak, that prefaced the storming of the Bastille was surprising.

      There is a formula. But the people don’t always react. I fear we all have such incredible inertia to sit in chairs that nothing will ever change. Vance will be President and we will continue to sit in chairs.

      That was fifty five years ago.

      Also it says four killed and nine wounded. Thirteen does sound like thirty though.

        Lol k. So your only contribution to the discussion is that I got a number wrong. Does that mean you are ok with the current fasisct regime rolling the National Guard in to DC or no?

          Whoops, sorry that wasn’t what I meant. I was just reflecting on how long ago that was and we’re very likely going to be there again.

          And ftr, no. Not at all.
