This didn’t start last year. Are you justifying what Hamas did on October 7, too? Or at least categorizing it as “fair play” as well?

Surely you meant sweet potato pie! Apples don’t really grow down here.
But yeah, the southern heritage one should want to claim ought to be more about shrimp and grits and less about confederates and slavers. Those traitors are history, but no decent person would claim that hateful shit as their damn heritage. Unfortunately, we ain’t about to run outta folks lacking decency anytime soon.
Attention
Well yeah, I mean… since when isn’t it expected for Trump to be weird?
Ain’t sabers rattling a precursor to war? Russia’s been at it a couple of years already, I wonder why you’re only hearing them now.
That’s nice.
But according to the meme, citizens ain’t boatwrights, they’re bailers. Those things you mentioned would be more fixing the boat than bailing it.
Like, to a lot of people actually.
You asked who protects you at violence at that point.
It damn sure ain’t a cop. Ain’t ever been a cop.
Fuck off, all day.
The cops ain’t ever protected me from violence and are scarier to me than either the random man (the random man could be a cop, but the cop definitely is) or the bear.
You can’t threaten me with violent men into not being afraid of violent men.
If someone goes to jail for violence against me, I haven’t been protected from violence. That’s literally all I’m saying. Why are you putting random words in my mouth and asking me questions about that shit?
Yeah, that’s exactly what I said you fucking genius. Absolutely brilliant.
That’s some after the fact shit. After the commoners were already violated, because the cops won’t or can’t and definitely have no interest in protecting them.
How many are in prison for violence against the powerful?
Since when do cops protect anyone besides the already powerful?
To me the weirdest thing isn’t how they still support him, it’s how little it seems the rest of US could care.
It’s like the thing with Nigerian scammers and how they weed out the folks who aren’t gullible and get fat off the rest. The flamboyant absurdity that turns off normies is what attracts his victims (this is the first time I’ve actually thought of his voters as victims). I’m also reminded of whale sharks and how they filter out water and get fat off the plankton.
But where are the Democrats in this? There’s no adversarial someone out there between a scammer or filter feeder and their prey. And sure, the people that are going to vote for him aren’t going to listen to a Dem. But what about the entire apathetic electorate? That’s the seawater Trump is using to filter feed on his victims. Without that apathy he can’t win. If only there were some way Democratic electeds could reduce apathy amongst the American people. Some way that wouldn’t upset donors, that is.
sigh
I’m afraid it’ll be voter apathy vs whale shark scammer this November.
As someone who’s lived in the southeastern US nearly all of my five decades on this earth (tho I admit… only a couple years in Mississippi, back in the eighties), I’m not sure they don’t think what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide. The counterprotests are less because they care about “antisemitism” and more they think peaceniks should shut up already, especially about dead Muslims. Like, this ain’t pro-Israel, it’s pro-genocide.
But yeah, they’ve failed a lot of tests.
But how? Democrats have been trying to get the media to discuss what they want when they want for like 4 decades now. Mainstream media has decided it’s on the side of business and Dems are bad for that (I disagree, but then I’m not a CEO, just someone who can read a chart), so how do you get them talking about the benefits of (D) actions instead of just the drawbacks they want to highllight in the 3 minute segment they only agreed to just to show how unrealistic or expensive or whatever they think those actions are?
It would be sweet, if Trump’s downfall comes
Never suffered any inconvenience? Like, have you seen how she travels? But also…
What expertise do you need to say “stop adding carbon to the atmosphere” at this point? Everyone lives here, we all should have something to say about what is inevitably coming down the pike - especially the young. You just come across as someone who has everything to lose wanting those with nothing to lose to sit down, shut up, buckle up, and just be grateful for the ride to whatever hell we’re heading to.
I’m all for stomping out fascism, but I gotta say… saving people who want others fed to the leopards isn’t even on my list of reasons why.
