Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive and racism was slowly becoming a thing of the past… and not even in 10 years all the major civil rights achievements of rhe past 70 years are being thrown out so fast it is making my head spin.
Have you turned on fox news? They’re not waiting for shit. They’re bastardizing innocent people just living their lives.
They are constantly lying to their supporters, claiming that any and all logical and loving opposition to them is outright treason.
Peaceful protestors are terrorists, lawyers and judges are criminals, doctors are murderers.
They aren’t waiting for you to fight back. They are bringing the fight to you.
Fuel for the fire. Unless you’re gonna go full civil war, you’re doing a disservice by spreading anger and hate.
Let Trump let people down. Look at Brexit. UK voted liberal this past year. Don’t help radicalism spread.
I’m not spreading hate. They are. I am spreading anger. Anger is a valid and useful human emotion. It’s an appropriate response to injustice. Anger is what gets people off the fucking couch. Good luck with your flowers, but people won’t march for love, and we need people to march.
This isn’t Bexit. Brexit wasn’t caused by a mad authoritarian with control over the world’s largest military and the world’s most militarized police. This is the Fourth Reich.
It will not stop until it is made to stop.
Anger quickly gets out of control. Especially en masse. You do what you gotta do. All of your feelings are valid.
That’s the entire point lol. Cheers.
Let’s see if we are allowed to have midterms without Trump shutting them down first before we start banking on electoralism to save us.
Good point. We’ll have to see if the Supreme Court has any authority. Justice unfortunately takes a long time, especially at the executive level.
