people need to start seriously protesting
They say the world is turning around, I say the world is upside down—Joe Higgs
Kudos to the person who is sending the correct message. Everyone who believes in protecting the US Constitution should fly the US flag upside down.
I think we need to do more than that. The flag is a distress signal. We have to help the people who are distressed
Is that the State Department flag or is it a flag near the State Department?
That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.
I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it.
History offers no control groups; there is no "right" way to proceed. What's certain is that "nothing" is not the answer.
Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.
It's the only move the US has used in living memory.
Like when Elon gets rid of "all regulations" make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?
Anything is legal if it's not prosecuted.
And with a dismantled government, how much can they really prosecute?
I assure you the last thing to be dismantled will be methods of enforcement on the populace.
They won't - that's why your military will soon be a judicial militia.
The State is in distress. Who will answer the call? Who will come it's aid? We have all been summoned.
Batman?
I mean the US is certainly in distress
Definitely. Do we know if the people who wanted a criminal moron in charge are still cheering him on, or are they starting to catch on to the fact that his plan always was to thoroughly fuck everyone over? Well, everyone but his clique.
Everyone just giving their opinion but the answer is mixed. Some regret, many don't. And it's not just disinformation, people have to deal with their own cognitive dissonance. Just on the radio earlier was an Arab man still defending vote for Trump because "it's just rhetoric" right now. He's willing to say it's terrible rhetoric, but won't come to terms with the vote being a bad decision.
They're still cheering. No other awareness to be had
This is the most succinct you're ever going to get
As long as the right people get hurt they're happy.
Republicans would shit their own pants just to make us smell it.
They're gonna be a lot less happy when they try putting armed citizens in camps and they get fucking shot.
Time has shown that these motherfuckers don't even care if "the right people get hurt"
As long as there is hurt, and their preferred propaganda machine tells them, they're happy.
Imagine being the person running this up the pole at the fucking state department.
The gravity well produced from the balls of this person (all genders included) is pulling me from miles away.
balls so big they make black holes
