MODERATORS
Like in Germany, Italy, and Spain it will not be the Liberals that fight back. Liberals will bend the knee and beg for forgiveness while Social Democrats will protest until the military massacres them all. But it will be the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Anarchists, and the Communists that will resist.
Then obviously the communists make the anarchists face the wall
Obviously
Then we'll all get lined up and shot by fascists Or just Communists and liberals Who've been waiting all along to become the fascist cops
He literally mentioned turning the military on cities earlier during the rambling speech he’s giving right now, in between talking about the quality of paper he likes and complaining about not getting a Nobel prize, because people are apparently shooting firefighters off ladders.
“Now more than ever we need to reach across the aisle and work together…”
The Time to Move Forward Is Now
Ah, 2021. A time of triumph and jubilation. Democrats coming together and saying "We won last time so now we'll never lose again" and proceeding to write the opposition party off as toothless has-beens. What a magical moment for our country.
Why can't we go back to brunch? I think the real reason is because leftist voters stabbed us all in the back. So we just need to pivot further to the Right if we want to reclaim our beautiful brunch-time again.

Victory was assured! It is the only explanation!
He certainly learned from other autocrats that, for example, you cannot hold elections during a civil war.
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this. They're the real bad guys!
The Democrats forced Trump to do all this.
The Democrats helped Trump do all this.
Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this. Almost as much as the both sides are the same rhetoric helped Trump do all this.
protests voters
Which state flipped based on protest voters?
Do you have a source that shows protest voters didn't have any impact?
At least as much evidence as you have that they did.
sheesh, literally the point my dad made yesterday unironically 😔
Totally on board with your premise, they do need to punch up as much as they can. And it looks like they’re trying to do so this round of shutdowns.
Nonetheless, this ultimately comes down to us. All of us. We can’t just sit here behind a computer and meme ourselves out of this disaster. We have to get out in the streets. We have to yell get mad and be angry. We have to hit them where they feel it. We have to organize. Get with upset farmers, get with the military vets whose benefits have been cut, get with the middleclass milquetoast moms who are starting to feel like something isn’t right with their grocery bills.
Each and every individual one of us is a single drop in the ocean, but, if we all move in the same direction, we become a crashing tsunami.
I'm Canadian, you guys should have been doing this since Regan, but better late than never I suppose
The pot says to the kettle.
Oh shut up haha. The CA government is headed down the same path last time I checked. Fuckin America Lite up there.
Seems like link to Trump's declaration should have hit my front page before the reaction. link? I could only find month old references, not that "jokes aren't the plan"
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Democrats don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Weird. It's almost like it's tankie/Russian propaganda. "Both sides are bad and the same and it's hopeless! Give up."
Almost
It's not about bad or good even, it's about having "principles" and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.
It's like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going "sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts" and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.
Republicans don't really have that problem, even when it's objectively the dumbest shit ever.
Principles.
Indeed. Edited.
That's the side effect of a 2 party system. If they could split up into smaller parties, they could at least stand on their opinion.
Absolutely
Oh moralism. Here you are again.
