    1. Trump and his goons are traitors
    2. A corporate takeover of the US has been planned for a long time
    3. We will not vote our way out of this

      We will not vote our way out of this

      Nope. That option disappeared on November 5, 2024.

      You cannot allow fascists to have total control of a government and then expect to vote your way back to normality.

      Lots of people are going to have to die to end this. And we’ll probably go through a prolonged period of a decline of our quality of life before that happens. Then a prolonged period of recovery. And it could have easily been avoided if Americans had pulled their heads out of their asses and rubbed a couple brain cells together.

      Buckle up kids.

        Agreed, but this has been brewing for over 18 years. Today’s MAGA were yesteryear’s Tea Party members. They liked to wear funny “patriotic” hats and discuss conspiracy theory level politics. Easily guided and basically brainless, if you hold up a picture of a liberal they would run at it screaming profanities like some weird carrot on a stick. They ALMOST destroyed the Republican party with that craziness … but the party just steered into it and now rides the wave.

        A lot of people’s limits are pretty much already reached. Some of us are old, tired, and just not that interested in keeping the greed machine running.

        Your average Joe may not grab a rifle and run at the illegal National Guards that have been deployed or do a Luigi… but if those average Joe’s happen to see someone else do somwthing like that it will be good odds that they won’t remember what the person looked like or which way they ran after they did it.

      1 and 2 completely agree, but 3 is quitter talk. We don’t need any of that.
