    One side has already started shooting. The only reason they don’t call it war is because the other side hadn’t fired back. The frequent ‘lone wolf’ mass shooters who all consume the same media and believe the same lies and follow the same political oarty end up attacking the same kind of communities over and over and they spin these as isolated incidents instead of violent advancements of the attackers personal politics.

    There’s a reason so many states are rushing gun control right now, and its that new gun ownership rates are currenrly highest among POC and LGBT folk. The fash already have their weapons, and their heirloom weapons from their dumb fash parents. What do you have?

        Chucky has to be bought and paid for. Can’t wait for the guy to age out and be replaced by another bought and paid for politician.

        The folks controlling the GOP are playing 3d chess. They’ve gained control of the judicial branch, they have just enough of a majority in congress, and the executive branch has been gutted of anyone who has any power to do anything to stop the plans that have literally been published. There is no similar design anywhere from any other party.

        The problem with giving a shit about people and wanting to do the right thing is that you inherently sabotage yourself from being able to compete with folks who will organize behind massive funding to blatantly violate the constitution and dismantle all checks and balances. I don’t think there’s any coming back. I think there will be a gotcha moment where even if they lose seats, something else will be dropped to avoid a peaceful transfer of power. Then they’ll have crackdowns where they round up anybody trying to mount an organized peaceful movement to protect the constitution and rule of law and throw folks in political prisons and make them disappear forever.

        Bottom line, the billionaires literally don’t give a shit. They are getting their payday by robbing our futures with crippling debt never seen before in this country. So many of them have cashed out of the market. Housing seems poised to plummet and there goes what little wealth most families have kept, and we’re all going to be spending our equity to stay alive while the billionaires continue to profit on the scraps we buy that they source because they control the whole supply chain, what we see and hear, the laws we must obey (that they do not), and soon even the roofs over our heads.

        I think the 21st century great depression is coming globally, and we’re going to be fucked. I hope to christ i’m wrong.
