    Kinda wish people were this angry before the election. Please remember to vote in the midterms so we can at least drop the Republican majorities in congress. They’re rushing all this crazy shit first, hoping we forget everything by 2026 and 2028. It’s not like we didn’t have 4 years of this asshole, then after a 4-year break and it’s like people from 2020 forgot to vote in 2024. Voter turnout dropped.

      If you think the midterms are going to be democratic in nature, you’ve still got another 17 months of Trump’s current bullshit to consider.

      By the time he’s done, those elections are going to be about as “fair and balanced” as a Fox News broadcast.

        Even if the Republicans are corrupt and do not respect the law, we must still uphold it, because they want us to give up on the rule of law.

        Trump keeps losing court cases and Kilmar is back in US soil. They fear and hate the rule of law.

          … we must still uphold it.

          Your supreme court is corrupt, making decisions by good judges lower in the system able to be overturned. The judiciary is broken.

          So how do you propose the law is upheld?

          I agree is must be, but I want you to be prepared that means taking action in some way.

            Bots and morons like you are are so exhausting.

            Protesting and other actions are NOT mutually exclusive.

            Luigi didn’t try to talk others into doing what he did, he just did it. He owned his own ideology.

            Why don’t YOU personally do what you think needs to be done, instead of telling others what THEY need to do?

            Because guess what? There’s hundreds of thousands of lawyers and judges defending your rights in courts, and succeeding at it as best as they can, because even though you gave up on them, they haven’t given up on dumbasses like you.

              Maybe they are? Maybe they’re just trying to inform you on maximizing efficacy?

                Maximizing efficacy?

                What’s next, synergize brainstorming strategies?

                Maybe get offline and go volunteer at the thousands of organizations that desperately need your help instead of being chronically online.

      They were angry. At Democrats. (And rightfully so.)

      And I have no faith the Democrats will do anything meaningful when they get Congress back in 2026. (And they will.) They just kicked David Hogg out of the DNC and they’re doing everything they can to silence their most effective voices, who just happen to be filling football stadiums in red states across the country.

          I’ve seen a few NY State Democratic congresspeople on podcasts calling the protesters ‘rioters’, which incenses me. 99.9% of them are hippies just holding up signs and chanting, and these fucking Democrats know it.
