Honestly, at this point I’ll take the win when I can get it. This is a good move, but doesn’t change all the Nazi bs.

I find it interesting that these posts are dated 2019. I don’t remember this being an issue pre-covid.

Idk but it reminds of that one WKYK sketch.

Large protest 200-300 easy. I’m in a ruby red midsized town

Kind of like punching your neighbor in the face, shooting yourself in the foot, then begging your neighbor for help.

I’m sure this time will be different.

And now here I am.

I just read The Tea Party - A Brief History by Ronald Formisano. It’s a fascinating read. He talks about the start of the Tea Party movement and how it grew to a political powerhouse by 2012.

It was written contemporaneously with the movement and before MAGA. He walks through how it started as a real grassroots movements that was co-opted and astroturfed by Billionaires. Reading it with a modern perspective, it’s almost quaint. Formisano (and may others) talk about how the movement is so unique because it doesn’t have any de facto leader.

It was primed and ready for the taking in 2016.

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.

Yeah that’s why he dropped out. The tankies lol

Let’s get preemptively mad!

I would consider this for a haircut, maybe?

“Look, people don’t want him to run for president, but he can win despite that.”

I once got sucked into a copaganda thing in Vegas. (I thought they had Tommy guns). The whole point was to put you on the officer’s shoes to make snap decisions to show why we need to be less critical of police when they kill civilians. I argued with her that this was why we need to increase training and job requirements. The guide did not like that.

Holy fuck, I haven’t seen a Ken M posr in a decade.

Sadly, we won’t know what we had until it’s gone.

What are you on about? This as confusing as my 60 year old father trying to explain final fantasy 7’s combat system to me on my seventh birthday - no, he did not know what a jrpg was.
