Political Discussion and Commentary

He could be talking about Putin in this graphic and it would have the same meaning and it would be just as useful.

He’s pretty much describing all three sides of the problem and pretending only one of them matters.

1. The anti-democracy movement, which wants a dictator and has gained enough followers to actually pull it off through democratic means.
2. The pro-democracy movement, which is seeking to counteract the fascists through persuasion (the whining he’s talking about) and careful legal action that doesn’t undermine the very democracy they’re trying to defend.
3. The revolutionary movement, which believes this democracy has already failed so severely that it needs a hard reset, so any action to remove the fascists is justified even if there is collateral damage.

Personally, I think we should skip the home.

This loser didn't start forgetting his wife's name or forget to wipe his ass after shitting on a regular basis.

He's a fucking traitor who is tanking our country in a myriad of ways and violating the fuck out of our Constitution. A much more....severe punishment is in order.

We have to be victimized because the alternative is armed revolt and putting his fat orange neck under the guillotine. I’m sorry, but Americans aren’t suffering enough en-masse to be motivated enough to do that yet. I wish it weren’t so, but we’re stuck with it for now.

In all honesty we should all be on the lawn at the whitehouse everyday until things change. No work no buying nothing but our constant presence. We're the reason this continues.

IMO there are two big, fundamental and inherent problems we're not dealing with.

1 - Democrats don't want to do anything, because they want to run against Republicans on this in the fall, midterms and in 2028.

2 - The folks who voted for Trump in the first place get their news and world view from Fox News and the GOP-aligned media. They aren't telling the same story.

Let's look at the fucking headlines from Fox News right now:

• Dose of Reality: Trump targets drug prices, pharmaceutical industry with new executive order.
• Dems defend 'storming' of ICE facility - DHS hits back with all the receipts
• Trump cuts deal with America's top rival - here's the fairer playing field the US now has
• Storm Clouds: Middle Eastern royal offers to donate jump jet to Trump - Dems immediately make move

The funny thing is what he's offering here is also just words.

You're going to need more than just gradually escalating calls to action to fix this problem.

I know that I also am just offering words but I'm not worth half a billion dollars with a broad domestic and global audience nor am I American.

I hope he puts his money where his mouth is and goes even a step further.

We're should be past the point of people telling each other to do something about it.

"unprecedented," "deeply concerned," "alarmed,"

words have lost all meaning due to be in every other fucking headline

When lettermen calls someone a goon you know he hates them.

The problem is that enough voters saw this feckless and recklessness and said "Yes! This is what we need more of in this country!"

So we kind of asked for this, didn't we?

The problem I have with this thinking is that people think Trump caused this and that the fascist problem will go away if he does.

He is a symptom. We need to fix the cause. I'm not saying I have all the answers, but going back to 'the old way of solving problems' and not changing anything will just lead to more fascists.
