    “First they came for the…”

    Republicans are going full Nazis dick-fuck. They’re awful. We all know that.

    Most democrats won’t be remembered fondly because they were “decorous”. Decorum won’t save our democracy.

    Yeah, they’re too busy handwringing, crying about how little power they have, and bitching because their constituents keep expecting them to stand up against bullshit like this.

      I just sent an official email on my weakass Democratic Representative’s website (which looks like it was built by a 6th grader for a class project) telling him that i expect courage and strength from him during this Civil War, and that i will be closrly monitoring his votes. If i see a single vote for ANY Republican legislation, i will be strongly and enthusiastically supporting his primary opponent.

      My senators are treasonous and corrupt Republicans. They deserve a rope.
