I really hate this type of rhetoric, not dissimilar to the cringe af "vote blue no matter who". It really ignores the decades long malicious attack on american consciousness itself, on truth and history. The American people are disenfranchised from political thought and economic action by design. Im not sure how much voting in america even matters at this point, the dnc capitulated HARD to fascists during the election, as is their historical prerogative (to defend capital interest), blaming the citizens just seems meaningless at this point. At a certain point you have to admit this is just what liberal democracy degenerates to every time.
I STILL see reactionaries tout this ICE fiasco as some type of moral victory over "evil cartel criminals" i.e. single mothers, and working men.
Reformists try not to capitulate to fascists challenge REDUX(...again)
"this is what we voted for go team ICE" is the jist of what ive been seeing.
Conservatism is just reactionary post modernism, nothing is real but their personal visceral reaction to some event, and historical events themselves are given innate mystical properties such as things "existing in a vacuum", and the lovely "its just natural" analysis. Democrats are just really good slow walking reformists owned by capital interest.
And here come all the nuts feeling brazen about open christian nationalism in a budding theocracy.
States rights...to own slaves. Individual rights...to extract profit. Divine Federal right to smash dissent.
The burning question of our times
Behind enemy lines folks
For Castro is a color, Is a redder than red, Those Washington bullets want Castro dead For Castro is the color... ...That will earn you a spray of lead

My dad is at probably about 6th grade level.
My father is extremely quick, a sharp mind. He is able to articulate, but not very eloquently, can't spell really, and or he is self conscious of it and defers to others when writing.
To his credit, he doesn't really need any of that to live a fulfilling life, but, I wonder what would have changed if his education was better or if he got to grow up in a less broken home. How would that change my life? I'm sure I would be doing something much different than I am now. I'm not sure it even matters.
I'm thankful that my father is a kind soul who doesn't really seem meant for this world. He taught me many important lessons in life and I wish there were more genuine people like him. Everyone seems to gravitate towards him even tho he is by all accounts an "idiot". He's an anarchist in purest form. I'll miss him when he's gone, but I carry his spark within me. <3
