    I can never know. I’d have probably done what the cop did. You can’t train for that. And his mind was probably racing with the idea that if he entered the room, it could have resulted in many more deaths.

    I’m not sure I could live with that….

    But as far as me? I voted. So I’m exempt form any persecution as a result of our current shitshow.

      I voted harris, but I don’t stop there and I will absolutely not defend her or democrats. Never voting democrat again if fascism is on the line.

        Well, all I can say is if you won’t stand in its way, you better learn to enjoy the fascism.

          Unless you vote for anti-capitalists, opposition to fascism won’t happen. So get to it.

          Why you people keep thinking rich liberals are going to bring the fight to fascists is beyond me.

              You going to a no kings rally on the 18th or are you too busy daydreaming about voting in 2028?

                Nope. I don’t go to rallies. They are pointless and don’t speak to the type of power we are currently forced to endure.

                  Ah, too busy to protest but just enough time to complain on lemmy and shit on leftists 😎

                  I understand, I hope fascism is defeated with your efforts, sitting on your ass until the next election cycle. Fascists will never expect it.

                  VOTE!!!

                    ROFL. You show me a historical example where fascism was defeated with picket signs and pageantry, and I’ll be there to support it.

                    Nah… I voted. I did my part.

                    And as far as complaining. Read the room my guy, this is lemmy- where all everyone does is complain about bLuE mAgA, and everything even slightly right of the ever-present far left ignorance. Where you’ll find a large portion of the Pro-Perfect™ non-voters that stood their ground against good.

                    Yeah… lol.

                    I’m the one complaining.

                    I’ll tell you what… You go ahead and post something positive about Newsom. If you can’t count more than 20 complaints about him, I’ll participate in the next No Kings. Deal?

                    (Fair warning: they complained about AOC making a bid for presidency, so… I’ll hold off on ordering some sunscreen)

                    EDIT: and there’s the childishly predictable response.
