For anyone who cares to follow, here is my Blue Sky link. I've met a lot of good people here, but I just can't take Dark Twitter anymore. It's become a cesspool of weirdos, sociopaths and hate.
Believe me. Congress is NOT clueless. They are way too far removed from real, working everyday people for whom they have absolutely NO empathy. But they are not clueless. It is all intentional, to benefit them, their donors, corporations and the ultra rich.
Cops can't keep a mass shooter from shooting up a classroom. But, afterwards, they're sure great at getting out and threatening the community to be silent over the loss of their children. I think that's what cops are best at. Protecting their own fascistic institutions.
After Uvalde cops let a mass shooting happen they now harass the families of kids at Robb Elementary.
Theyโre โharassing us every day for no reasonโ according to the dad of a girl who literally called 911 that day.
For me, Patriot now means a piece of shit extremist. Patriot Front. Give me a break. "Reclaim America". "Take back America". But they never say what they want to reclaim or take back America FROM. From anyone who isn't THEM. That's who.
Like I said. Piece of shit extremists.
I hate that they take a positive word like Patriot, selectively define it including only what they like and then use the word (with this definition) forcing the rest of us to say that we aren't "patriots". Its simple word games and framing the conversation. We need to be better
Just remember that every display is a response to oppression. When oppression decreases, so do displays of rebellion and even pride. Civil Rights marches didn't come out of nowhere. They were in response to incredible oppression through Jim Crow laws. Less depression, more peace.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing Gilda Radner used to do on SNL playing Miss Emily Litella.
"What's all this talk I hear about Gazpacho Police?!"
"Miss Litella, it's Gestapo Police."
"Oh! That's very different!
Never mind."
Nobody needs any bullshit comments from MAGA.
Trump is a narcissistic sociopath and fascist dictator wannabe. Doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself.
MAGAs are weird and mentally altered and are therefore disqualified from participating in serious discussions.
And they had a list of specific people that they were looking for and the locations where they could be found. Of course Mike Pence was on that list because there was a noose with his name on it.
