      Lemmy has been chock-full of these memes critical of the dems since the election. How much more of this “good start” is needed before people move on to the next step (whatever it might be)?

      Everyone I know is already aware of the fact that we’re bracing through a torrent of garbage. I’m terrified that reluctant voters are going to choose the party that will turn the pressure higher or ignore the flesh stripping blast. My skin has peeled to the bone. Throwing suspicion at the only people capable of closing the valve is not relevant to me.

        If they’re capable of closing the valve, why haven’t they? They either complain they don’t have the votes to make a difference; or when they do have the votes, they say “this is the time to compromise” or whatever lame excuse to continue to do nothing.

        A prerequisite to getting into a position where one is “capable of closing the valve” is to prove, beyond any doubt, that they are not a person who could ever dream of closing that valve. Even a little bit.

        You are being one of those “ignore the flesh stripping blast” as you tell others that “throwing suspicion” is “not relevant”. Motherfucker we’ve been throwing a lot more than just suspicion at them for 50+ years and they won’t do shit. I’m glad you’ve got enough bodies between you and that nozzle so that the level of inaction is irrelevant to you, but that’s not true for your shields.

          Dude, we’re a decent proportion of the way into the transition to fascism. Your absence of situational awareness and reading comprehension is going to sway people toward cranking up the pressure. Again.

          In what world does my saying that my flesh has been stripped to the bone indicate that I haven’t been affected? Read between the lines, ya doofus
