Honest question, are you ashamed that you don't feel empowered? Is that why you shit all over anybody's efforts to organize.

Or are you just so confident you'll be able to pass the coming Mischling tests?

Why would I be ashamed? I voted to stop this. I canvassed. I did the work. I’m proud of my efforts to stand in the way of a fascist dictator.

And I’m not shitting on anything. I’m just observant. I don’t lie to myself others.

Organizing protests won’t do shit even if you could gather enough people. I’m not happy about this. I don’t want this, but I accept that this is how it is. This is reality. PROTESTS DON’T DO SHIT AGAINST AN ORGANIZATION THAT JUST FIRED THE HEADS OF THE MILITARY.

You have NO FUCKING CLUE what you’re up against.

We had a chance to stop this. We were warned this would happen. We were TOLD this would happen. And yet- NINETY MILLION ELIGIBLE VOTERS STAYED THE FUCK HOME. Most, because of “gEnOciDe!”

But no. I’m not ashamed at all. Not even close to it.

I’m just DEEPLY disappointed and angry that we lost our only chance to avoid this. And on top of that, I’m furious that there’s people that have the audacity to cast aspersions on those that knew there was a way out of this and tried. I’m furious that these people can smugly accuse those that busted their asses to stop this of not trying to help.

The question is:

Are YOU ashamed?

Oh good. At least you finally said it outloud. Stay safe there in your anonymity and the past.

I'm very well aware of what we're up against. Now that it might threaten you, all of a sudden it's so scary. You mentioned my post history. I suggest you read it.

I voted for Harris as harm reduction. That failed. Now I have to start organizing.

Be afraid. That's where they want you.
