    Yeah it’d be crazy if peaceful protests were violently attacked by right wing terrorists and the cops just joined in on the beatings

    If the Supreme Court started ignoring precedent, which they stated under oath they would not do, and started saying cases have standing even if the damaged entity literally is a hypothetical that has never happened

    If the largest union action in this generation was stomped down and made to heel

    If a violent mob literally stormed the capital while Congress was in session certifying an election and were not all prosecuted as domestic terrorists and hanged, under the most advanced security state in the world that knows exactly who was there using cellular pings

    Let me guess, you’re going to say the same thing in 2028 except all these things will have gotten worse and if we just hold our noses and tolerate it one more time the Blues will fix it all, just like they did in 2020 and 2012 and 2008 and 1992 and……….

      And what exactly did you do in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023?

      Because political activism doesn’t change shit if you only complain about it online every four years.

      Want to disagree? Call me a liar?

      Check any social media site during those years and let me know how strongly your little socialist movements were.

      Want change? DO THE WORK.
