This reflects a feeling of being backed into a corner. What else are we going to do when our political views and goals and ffs human beings are being criminalized? Every decent thing getting rolled back and every horrible thing dialed up to 11. Fuck republicans. One way or another they will regret this. Whether people vote them out or get violent with them remains to be seen but this will not last, obviously.
I can't wait until the day that these filth learn that we outnumber them 10 to 1.
It's up to them how they learn this fact.
I'm terrified of it.
I've talked to relatives on both sides of my family who have experience those times and they have nothing good to say about it.
My grandmother went from hoping the Nazis would ignore her, to hoping the American bombs would miss her, to hoping that the Russian soldiers wouldn't rape her.
My grandfather had guys from both the KMT and the CPC point guns at his head to try to get him to join (on separate occasions) and ended up a refugee.
Both China and Austria are doing very nicely now but boy did it suck getting there.
Sounds delusional to me.. if we outnumber them 10 to 1 why the fuck is a republican sitting on the highest seat in the country? Everyone just sat out the vote??? Okay. Then what the fuck do you expect them to do to republicans if they can’t even vote?
Collusion and deception
Idiots got tired of not being allowed to be racist.
Harris was thoroughly unappealing to many, and the Democrats were masterfully outmaneuvered by the Republicans seeding shit about Gaza and rallying minorities against her.
In swing states there was definitely vote manipulation. You had Musk offering to pay people to vote.
I would say after the outcome of Project 2025, he's finally pissed off minorities and farmers, and business owners, now he's working on the military.
Now he's threatening to send the US military in against cities.
I think the only one delusional here is you. votes will tell eventually.
You left out that we had years of dems talking about DACA but harris/biden tried to triangulate on immigration leading to latinos not voting in many places.
Because they stole the source code to the election machines in 2020 and modified the software to cheat the 2024 election, subverting the will of the people.
I know I'm outnumbered by conservatives in my area. And, while they might not voluntarily admit to bigotry, they do strongly believe in a hierarchy of power, and that failing to be obedient to a higher authority is justification for any punishment you (not them!) receive. They also believe that the laws should reflect "Biblical" teachings and that "The Church" (their church, not those Catholic "idol worshipers") should be involved in health care, education, and the work place not just reflected in the laws.
They also tend to own guns and know how to use them, but that somewhat depends on their income. It's an outsized spend, but when you are on food stamps, you aren't also stockpiling ammo or acquiring more guns.
