Which is to say: it’s not a lost cause.

I am trying to reach out to folks I don’t agree with. They say we need to do that. Who knows, it might work.

I quit the job I got right out of college without having another one lined up. I snapped at someone for something small and realized I needed to get the fuck outta there. In retrospect it was incredibly stupid to quit without something lined up (this was about when the economy was tanking), but it worked out and…

And if you think the checks and balances are going to help, the Legislative Branch is clearly a bunch of spineless cowards, and they’re already trying to scrub the Judicial Branch from history with some crazy Orwellian revisionism. Half the idiot country is going to think the Judicial Branch is corrupt and/or…

Unfortunately that’s what Bannon wants. If civil disobedience goes far enough, it will give them an excuse to discriminate further (registry, internment camps), and eventually declare Martial Law. We fucked.

Martial Law after some form of Reichstag Fire that will conveniently send military into cities in swing-states and close Senate races. All of this probably around election time, and they will intimidate and persecute people who look like they’d vote Democrat.

Yeah, but will it sous vide?

Eh, their “investigation” would be conducted a Republican committee, and would probably reveal “widespread voter fraud.” There’s no winning this battle.

Conservatives have always been authoritarian in nature. Now they have their perfect puppet in Trump, and control the House and Senate to actually enact their oppressive laws. The question is—how far will they actually go? Dissenters will be punished, the media will be censored, elections will actually be rigged, and…

The scary thing will be when they control the media, when they pass anti-voting rights laws, and when they use “law and order” as an excuse to intimidate and jail dissenters, and when they continue to “win” elections forever until Donald dies and Ivanka takes over.

Mighty optimistic to think we’ll still have elections by then

Republican Governor Baker is more popular than Democratic Senator Warren. I’m terrified right now and I don’t want anybody expressing any semblance of support for Trump, especially someone as revered as Belichick.

And perhaps for your life right now knowing this isn’t important

umm... letting someone do it and consenting are not the same thing.

Just fucking vote right left

Poetry is good

The problem is that the white woman thought she was being attacked, and thought, “I’ll not attend this because this black woman told me I should read and listen to more black women.” Had she been a rational, well-adjusted person, she possibly could have thought, “maybe I don’t fully understand the issues black women…

I think an issue is many liberals don’t know the difference between criticizing an ally...One of them is pretty much on your side and maybe needs gentle nud(g)ing

I wonder what Quasar’s reaction would have been had this been a woman asking a man to listen to her about women’s issues, and getting the same defensive reaction.

Had to do a little research because I forgot, but I found it:
