I sure hope so.

I’m going to make bookmarks, tshirts, and inspirational posters.

Probably a coloring book too.

The level of cohesion in opinions since this event is palpable. It should not be ignored.

Yeah this may be a bit of a clumsy comparison but he’s giving me John Brown vibes.

My insurance company just sent me a completely coincidental survey about my views towards them. I’m looking forward to going off on them when I have a moment. I’m sure it won’t do much but at least it should be cathartic.

"How do you feel about our service, with 10 being the highest?"

doesn't circle 1-10, instead writes in "I have a gun"

Just don't talk to any police that may call or show up. Because even suggesting that you're angry at them is enough to give them protection.

I've been surprised by how many people are celebrating this guy. Just goes to show how strongly the contempt is felt for the American healthcare system.

I think it's more about class warfare than healthcare specifically. All my European friends are cheering him on too despite not experiencing hardship with healthcare

My girlfriend was very much in the club of “murder is bad no matter what” until I explained exactly why a health insurance CEO would be targeted.

Everyone in Canada here loves him too. It’s absolutely about class warfare.

Because he's done more to fix our healthcare system than any politician.

I wouldn't say fixed as things are the same way as they are, but reminded us how every day we are fucked by oligarchs.

This is a weird time as we just elected them, just look how many billionaires are in trump's cabinet picks.
