Is urination against the prime directive?

It's due to a large chunk of the people ~~believing~~ religiously indoctrinated to believe a text can be infallible.

If you start from that assumption, it's a whole lot easier to understand why the constitution can be so rabidly defended from change and why the fantasy lore of its authors is rarely questioned.

This sounds like the beginning of a math story problem.

Your regional library or local makerspace may have 3d printers you can print with.

Do you have any resources or documentation of your build? It sounds like a cool project.

That's... a good point.

Not directing this to you, specifically, but if you're in the US and you feel similarly, please please please use this anger at this "slow" part of the political cycle to get involved in your local political scene.

This can look like uplifting people who align with your values in political organizations, volunteering in a specific candidate's campaign to get them on the primary ballot, or even running for a local office yourself (yes you, even if you don't think you're qualified).

The people doing this "unsexy" work between elections are the people who eke out actual change. They always need more support during this time, and by becoming involved, you can see the impacts of your efforts, and get the right kind of people on primary ballots.

When these people win local and state offices, they build momentum (read: fundraising) and gain political experience they can leverage to run for even higher offices.

It's still a lot of work, and it's slow, but it's the realistic, proven path to affecting politics when you're not a nepobaby, a constitutional law professor, or a D-list celebrity.

All that being said, I very much support other activism for fighting the creeping threat of total fascism in the meantime as well.

Where are the swatting trolls when they could actually be useful?

My favorite so far is the people who follow these fuckers around with megaphones and broadcast the rights people have when dealing with ICE, numbers of local lawyers and advocates, and other instructions to help people either avoid the interaction or at least have a fighting chance to due process if they are detained.

Looks like a violent riot to me.

Are you sure it's not a group of protestors? Because then covering your face is illegal in some places now. Better call the cops to get those protestors back to the free speech zone.

BUT THIS IS STILL A TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE DEMOCRACY, RIGHT CONSERVATIVES?
