      Anyone else feel like giving fascists power makes us kinda like stupid af?

      Idk, can’t help but see how pathetic it is to consider this something to be proud of. It’s like saying, “see, I finished everything on my plate!” when your plate was full of trash and shit when you relatively early could’ve said I’m not eating that /

        I wrote to my senators and representative about the 14th amendment. I doubt anything is going to happen, but it’s also all I could realistically do.

        The people spoke and elected Trump.

        Are you going to subvert democracy because you don’t agree with the outcome?

          Trump should be ineligible per the 14th amendment.

          But also the Republican party is going to send everything down the shitter

          So it’s okay for one side to just sit down and watch, while the other side literally does in fact subvert democracy?

              No, the time to deal with this was any one of the multiple times Trump was impeached but our Congress and Judiciary are apparently filled with spineless corrupt pond scum pretending to be humans.

                Americans voted him back in again so really didn’t matter much what Congress did.

                  If they had impeached his ass he wouldn’t have been eligible to run.

                    Trump was impeached but they didn’t convict him.

                    It takes another separate vote for disqualification.

              No the time to deal with this was in January right after the incited riot.

          You know who was democratically elected in Weimar all fair and square and it was the greatest time Europe ever saw?

          I clearly ain’t doing shit either. Don’t get me wrong.

          I’m just saying let’s start by not being proud of being, at best, disorganized and powerless, and weak cowards at worst.

          Let’s grieve properly. If we can get past denial, maybe we can then tap into some righteous fury in the people that support our cause(s).

          If we always listened to “The People” we would still have a king.
