Well, they lost. If they weren’t a bunch of losing losers who lose all the time people would still be alive.

Any protest that favors a progressive cause—Black Lives Matter is a good example, George Floyd protests, the protesters in Lafayette Square—will invite a bunch of Kyle Rittenhouses, who grab their guns and go out to teach the protesters a lesson. Hey, Rittenhouse did, and he got off the criminal charge. Why can RWers not do the same now?

Oh, we don’t have to worry about that. General Secretary Musk will be the chief executive of this country by the end of next year.

Part of me is like fuck it, I’m good as I’ve said in other posts. But this is going to be some ugly shit and we will need take sides.

I’m not saying violence, but we will have to stand up for others in everyday social situations. Not letting people be othered.

The electorate has validated the vile, offensive, arrogant, and dishonest behaviour of Trump and his clan and this appals me. Now their behaviour, which most normal (for want of a better word) use to grown upon in polite society (again, for want of a better phrase). Now, it’s okay to act like a middle school bully. It’s going to be a dog eat dog world that comes out of this.

This could still change but I’m not holding out hope so much as I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do when they come for me.

I don’t think that’s what I said at all, in fact I’m sure I said the opposite of that.

If Trump wins PA plus anything else it’s over. Well, AK won’t quite push him over the top but any of the other states will.

Perhaps part of the problem is that Democrats spent years misrepresenting the facts and the outcome of cases like Rittenhouse’s.

Betting that first thing he assures people is about a plan—his plan— called Project 2025, which he just came up with. All illegals will be gone and the remaining white people will have the “freedom” to pick their own strawberries, instead of buying them at the overpriced grocery stores which will be closing.
