okay I need a source for this. Not because I don’t believe you. But because I want to read more about it. And share it with everyone I know.
Oh, "congrats" by the way... the US just had over 4k COVID-19 deaths in one day for the first time. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-us-...covid-19-deaths-in-one-day-for-the-first-time
Only social media is stating it. Which is why I WANT it to be true but won’t count my chickens. Because the dick-and-ball puns coming out (Just the “Tip”) are already pretty sweet.
This is just false, all around. There's about 30 people in the country who want an actual civil war, the rest are keyboard/grocery store Karen's who want to be famous. I said it in an earlier post, people were storming the capitol to take FUCKING SELFIES. Let that sink in. As far as half the country tolerating being ignored and shit on, it's been happening for the past 5 years and up until Trump losing did the 70 million who were doing the assfucking actually give a shit. I could make a list a mile long of the things Trump/Republicans have done the past 5 years to COMPLETELY fuck over most of the citizens of this country, even the ones who support them, but I'll just hit some of the highlights from the past 3 days. 1. Sitting US President incites crowd at a Hitler rally to march on the capitol. 2. Sitting US President in a recorded phone call asks a Secretary of State to commit election fraud. 3. Sitting US President refuses to concede an election he lost and has decided to skip the inauguration while continuing to spread lies about the election. 4. Multiple sitting members of State Senates STORMING THE CAPITOL BUILDING and livestreaming it. Giving this guy, and the people who follow him a voice, yeah... that's what brought us to this point right now. Listening to fucking retards and giving anything they have to say actual weight. I'm completely fine having two parties with differences in opinion on how money should be spent or how certain laws should be enacted or not, I am not and will never be in favor of what has gone on the past 5 years in this country to become the normal.
Oh let me also include the rumbles coming from Parler, the shitty excuse for a social media app, how there are going to be armed Militias coming to the inauguration to make sure "Treasonous Joe Biden doesn't take office"
I have the Gadsden Flag tattooed on my chest, a take on it, in honor of my step father and wife’s late grandfather who served in the Navy, the DTOM phrasing for my kiddos — like I don’t care if you’re religious or atheist, gay or straight or purple, just be who you are — and the snake a diamond back rather than a timber rattler because, Texas. It’s a really cool looking piece and means a lot to me. And these fuckers trashed it and have my explaining myself to people.
The past 4 years of this presidency have been nothing but a play to his base supporters at the expense of the wellbeing of the country. Simply just to hurt the people he hates and get his supporters to hate progressives even more. Even relatively small things like lifting hunting regulations to allow for the shooting of hibernating bears served no purpose but to "own the libs". Banning trans people from entering the military, as another example. But yes, its our job now to coddle and placate these people so as not to be too divisive.
That's not exactly true... there were more than one person now being discvered that had cuff-ties, Molotov cocktails, and weapons, that looked to have a different agenda than the morons running around in bison heads. Sure, the vast majority were as you describe, but there appears to have been pretty legit threats buried in there.
Completely agree. I even said that in the previous post. I was referring to the fact that almost all of the people who stormed the Capitol were doing so to become social media "heroes" and have little interest in actually starting a civil war.
I am amazed that as many people as there were that they didn't fire any of those weapons (that I know of). Were all the people that stormed the Capitol already at the Trump rally nearby? Or was this a separate time and group? Like, this is a LOT of people. And, if people with weapons and Molotov cocktails were able to get that close to Trump? That's just weird. ETA: Picture didn't post.
It's been reported in some places the people who entered who were actually looking to do something besides take photos were there to take hostage/execute Pence/Pelosi. Granted, this is mostly people saying shit on various social media sites, but, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the actual "plan"
To add to this, the expectation that the left needs to play nice after being shit on by the right for 4 years is absolute horseshit. That would be like expecting @Nettdata to put out tea and crumpets for ballsack or whomever. The difference of course is that Congressional leadership (a fucking oxymoron) doesn't have a spine and won't ban Trump from running in the future. What DCC said merit. We don't want another Civil War. But, if centrists/moderate Republicans really gave a shit about this country, they would have spoken up before right wing fringe lunatics took over the party. But they didn't, because those lunatics actually managed to lower taxes, or made life harder for brown/black/LGBTQ+ people, or didn't threaten to take their guns away, or got a shitload of conservatives appointed to lifetime judgeships. If people really want to come together and rejoin reality, centrists/moderates who expect the left to get the right to move to the middle will be sorely disappointed. It didn't work when Obama was in charge, and it certainly didn't work when Trump was in charge. The right always says how uncooperative the left is, while conveniently forgetting that their primary platform plank was/is "owning the libs". I'm sick of being told to play nice when there is zero expectation that the other side will do the same.
I didn't include this because it happened months ago, but people are expecting to extend the olive branch to a party/people who spit on the grave of a dead supreme court justice and turned a complete 180 by jamming through a justice in record time while just a few years earlier denied the exact same scenario from happening because of decorum?
For our Canadian friends, let me try and relate to you what it is we are feeling down here. Picture in your mind how you felt about Rob Ford and the people that supported him and how it made your country kind of a laughing stock because who in their right mind would elect that piece of shit to a public serving office. Now times that by a million and you're just breaching the shores of what's been happening here.
Jesus, guys. Russia really did a number on all of us, didn't they? This insane division between political parties is probably exactly what they wanted.
