He’s right. Violence like this will only beget more violence. We need to be clear on our side that we don’t endorse anything of the kind.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I’m not gonna lie: if yesterday had gone a different way, I’d’ve been pretty happy about it.
I’ve been going back and forth about this all day. On one hand, I think it’s obvious that Trump is a symptom of the right wing’s systemic slide into open authoritarianism, rather than its architect… but on the other hand, I don’t think his cult of personality would have long outlived him (especially if it turned out he was assassinated by a fellow right-winger over his ties to Epstein) and there’s not many figures on the right who would be able to reconstitute it quickly. On the other hand, I don’t think his cult members would go gentle into the night, and there would be ugly, violent reprisals. On the other hand, I fear there’s going to be violence no matter what, and it’s probably better for it to happen before the election than after for a host of reasons. But on the other hand, etc., etc…
Then do something about it you piece of shit. One man is responsible for the majority of the particularly violent rhetoric, and one party is responsible for nearly all of it.
This administration is just beyond embarrassing. Imagine what we look like on the world stage. Good Lord.
Not even close to how bad we looked when the child raping traitor occupied the Whitehouse.
Well, from Australia it is both fascinating and yet produces a really sad feeling for you guys. I really wish you well, but don’t see a way out for you.
Secondly, what happens in the US hardly ever just stays in the US. You guys are an idea factory. But not all of them are good ideas. I hope that our institutions are trusted enough to whether the coming storm.
I really wish you well, but don’t see a way out for you.
I’ll admit, even the optimal path in front of us is not looking too good. And I’m the guy in the office that’s saying “no worries” most of the time. A Biden win still leaves us with a corrupt supreme court and equally corrupt and deadlocked congress.
You guys are an idea factory
Thanks for saying this. Perhaps our greatest export is our culture, but it would seem that’s the good, bad, and ugly all at once. I really do wish it was only the good stuff.
So true. He should have had the military do this a few weeks ago, if not years ago.
I’m fine with it.
