    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.

        Trump should be ineligible per the 14th amendment.

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

        I can’t think of anything more american than subverting democracy in an attempt to preserve future democratic freedoms 🐍🦅

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

        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).

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