    Jesus fucking Christ. These pieces of shit are really feeling emboldened now, like there’s not going to be any opposition to stop them. We need to make fucking sure these pieces of shit are left cowering in their homes, and afraid to be out in society. Removed from the herd.

      Unfortunately half the US agrees with him and the other half is a bunch of pants-pissing cowards.

          You know what? It doesn’t matter. It could be 5 percent and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference if the rest of your country sits there with its thumbs up it’s asses and allows it.

          If it’s 30% and not 50? Great- the rest of you look even WORSE for not dealing with it. Get off your sofas and start ensuring these people don’t feel safe leaving their homes.

            The US doesn’t a democracy. Its rare for people’s votes to lead to positive outcome.

            People should vote, but they MUST do direct action to bring about positive change, especially for fighting systemic & entrenched racism. That’s more important

              I’m sorry that taxing and auditing the rich, getting paid sick leave to railroad workers, expanding healthcare coverage to millions of americans, keeping literal nazis who set up illegal tents and cages out of power, etc aren’t “positive outcome” to you.

              Just so we’re clear, everything happening right now is happening because millions less people voted in 2024 than in 2020.

          30% backing a fascist government as the floor is pretty fucking awful. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for the shitty normal conservatives or the centrists who are so terrified to actually have a stance that they’ll fight people with a strong opinion before they fight a fascist.

          Absolutely half, maybe more even, are the kind of people who will either cause the problem or do nothing to stop it or even try to tell the good people that they’re being dramatic because they don’t want to face the fact their country is a broken mess.
