The postal union endorsed Harris. Your rhetoric is gross and vindictive about something you're clearly uninformed about. Much like the other commenter, your cynicism only benefits the fascists.
Solidarity is our only way out of this mess. That means building connections between groups standing against this regime, and aligning efforts on multiple issues. Don't fall for the trap they want us stuck in.
the president of the union is a trumper though, which is promblematic, plus you still have dejoy and newly appointed BOG trumpers.
The fascists have been here all along, they fly their same racist fascist flag proudly.
We never properly dealt with them after the civil war, and Hitler even wrote in mein kampf how the south was the model for Germany to follow wrt racial purity, the Nuremberg Laws are copied almost verbatim except without the 1 drop rule.
The south needs to be taught the same lesson yet again.
The south rose again and we lost, if you haven't noticed. We're not in any situation to be having trials. Sadly they are, and they're carrying out their own tribunals right now.
If we want to regain any control of this system, we won't do it without a better propaganda game. Telling people we're going to come take out vengeance as soon as we can works completely against that sort of effort.
Be pissed. Use the anger. But maybe think of long-term tactics with a clear vision of what's real, and what's effective. Or don't, and enjoy a fantasy of power you don't have. Maybe it's comforting. I just think too many people aren't thinking strategically about what's actually needed to change things, even if some of those things seem repugnant.
And I in no way mean to suggest trying to talk hardcore maga into anything. It's the apathetic, uninformed, etc, that are the ones that can be moved.
I have had a long-term vision for decades, it basically involves waiting till the south goes too far (which they can't help, their narcissistic evil has no concept of self-restraint), and rallying the decent parts of America (ie the rest) to stand against them.
But we can't stand unless we admit the South is the unending fount of evil that it is.
100 years after the civil war they kept all the same features under Jim Crow, not because of economic reasons, but because they need to feel power from domination and cruelty.
I grew up in the midwest, they don't have that naturally, they're human, if a bit backwards, they mean well.
The south isn't that, they are the enemy of the world, and the only way they win is when we pretend they are normal.
they also got thier segregation methods from the south too.
Sorry, but I disagree. Trump Voters need to be taught a lesson if we're ever going to move forward. They're not allowed to feel regret, remorse, shame, or embarrassment for the next four years. They made their bed, they must lie in it, even if it kills them.
Now if you voted for anyone else (yes, even 3rd party), you should absolutely continue to fight like hell.
He's not wrong for being pissed at rural red voters. They voted for this more than any other group and they're going to be negatively impacted by this more than any other group. Causing pain to others is a primary motivation for many of them. Knowing that, it's only natural to hope they feel that pain acutely.
