**Asahi** , wouldn’t forcing people in re-education camps be much like what the GOP likes to do? Force people in camps for their own GOP gain and bidding? I see you’re fuming. And I DO NOT blame you. I am worried too. IF we get control of just one house, Orange Turd Lickers (OTLs) will have even more ammo against the Dems blocking their nefarious plans. More phony CT theories, and more viewers for Tucker and Sean. Don’t just think that our problems will be solved easily is all I’m getting at. ---

> [@asahi](#): > > When the Democrats take over, they need to identify who has voted Republican over the last 15 years and find ways to put them in reeducation camps. They should not be allowed to vote again until they can vote responsibly. Also, they should just send in militias and shut down Fox News and Breitbart once and for all. That’s it. Right wing trolling must be a crime! Jail!!! It’s frightening how close this is to a medley of things Trump has actually said. ---

At this point, I think all of you are just figments in my dystopian nightmare. Google Search no longer works properly in the dystopia so I haven’t a clue how to adjust dosages and get back to the dream where Hillary has just appointed Obama to the Supreme Court. (And BTW, I am NOT even voting, let alone fuckcing voting. Unless one of you can help me register fraudulently in a swing state. I might be able to register legally and cast a useless vote in an all-blue district of bright blue California but the last thing I need is to get back on the California Franchise Tax Board’s mailing list. :smack: ) ---

We need a mainstream center-left movement, which probably won’t happen until a massive economic collapse. But when it does, it has to represent a kind of rational dictatorship in which the right wing is investigated and completely disenfranchised. We can’t continue living with the bacteria we call ‘conservatives’ or ‘republicans’.

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > The CFSG said “if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents.” Really? President Pussy-Grabber is now telling women their traumatic life-changing assault only counts if there’s a fucking police report? Maybe if he says it out loud enough times, it helps him sleep better at night, but it doesn’t make it true for the millions of women who have experienced an assault. And that doesn’t even begin to factor in the number of children who have been victims of sexual assault and/or rape but have never come forward about it before. Does our president think that none of those priests really assaulted any of those children, for instance? ---

They’re not the reason and they are the reason at the same time. Ignorant shit kickers need validation, and Fox gives them validation.

Oh God, seriously, fuck Hurricane Ditka. He would vote for Adolph Hitler if he had an R by his name and everyone here fucking knows it. I’m telling you fuckers: there are no good Republicans. One day, when the economy is collapsed, maybe some Trump tards might get it and vote for something other than Trump (or preferably, not at all). But for the time being, this is the shit stain we’re left with. NO GOOD REPUBLICANS!!! NO GOOD REPUBLICANS!!! NO GOOD NAZIS!!! NO GOOD REPUBLICANS!!! One day…you’ll learn.
