Sounds about right as well
Not even that much of a stretch
Too many still think the law will protect them. Too many still think they can vote their way out of this. If you think for one second that the midterms will slow him down, or that he'll fade into obscurity after his term officially ends... I've got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you.
You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.
On this MLK Day let us remember his wisdom. But also that his movement succeeded, in part, because there was a much less peaceful movement waiting in the wings should his have failed.
There is a very important lesson to be learned from that.

Anyone realize yet putting the Executive Branch exclusively in charge of law enforcement and the military was a really dumb idea?
This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.
"Revolution is too costly" bourgeois electoralism literally led you to your own federal government declaring war on you, but alright
New in PN: Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government
"Democrats should reject any pretense of political normalcy while Trumpβs goons wage an ongoing terror campaign against their own constituents. With government funding running out soon, the time to take a stand is now."
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to βbe popularβ and start advocating for what is transparently right.
And Number 3. "the left" has been out there fighting the good fight for decades while liberals rested on their milquetoast laurels enabling Clinton signing crime bills, gutting the social safety net and Obama selling every promise and drone striking everyone with a pulse.
Yet another perfect example of why leftists find it difficult to ally with liberals
Number 1. Vote shaming alienates the very voters you need.
Number 2. It was never about "purity". It's about having standards and politicians not meeting those standards.
If your not calling for abolition of ICE and prosecution of *every* crime they've committed then get the fuck out of the way for someone that will.
Incrementalism doesnβt work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We canβt chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now.
Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
A scene from X-Men 97 Valerie Cooper: Most other nations don't allow a terrorist to be their leader. Magneto: Yet so many allow their leaders to be terrorists.
Magneto was, yet again, right.
Iβm an American and I hate all of this evil shit. All of it. Fuck you if you donβt.
Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
Anyone who agrees with everything a politician or party does is a danger to democracy
I genuinely can't understand why it's so hard to accept that BOTH of the parties that have been running this show for the last 170ish years are responsible for the absolute shit show we're dealing with today?
Is one of them objectively better than the other? Sure.
Can't we do better? We have to.
weβre never returning to βnormal β
that world is dead and gone
we create a new one, or we live in hell
Trying to assert that Democrats are anything more then corporate centrists at best is simply a tactic to box out any position left of them as "radical" and it always has been.
It's shit like this why leftists have such a problem allying with liberals. They seem to be physically incapable of accepting the objective reality in front of their faces.
Are the Democrats currently our only option? Sure.
But they are also just as much a part of the problem as the Republicans.
Good lord the amount of shitlib cope on this site is absolutely off the fuckin charts in the new year
This was my exact point. Literally anywhere else in the democratic world they would fall center-right.
