But he has such good work ahead of him rubber stamping almost all of the GOP’s terrible ideas!

I know history isn’t their strongest g suit, along with critical thinking but surely they can see this won’t end well for their party. I feel like there should be one GOP type who has a primitive impulse of not riding the flaming shit wagon to hell with the rest of his party, but apparently not. Ah well. They get to

What confuses me is like does the GOP think we can’t see them? Every day of silence, every act of complicity, every tutted speech followed by party line voting will be an explicit endorsement of this President and his nazi views. They do realize we can see them right, they’re not invisible anymore, we keep track of

Cigarette holder in hand I assume, light little smile that’s colder than winter snow

I’m torn. On the one hand OBVIOUSLY you don’t go. He’s a fuckin’ nazi, you do everything you can to delegitimize that, you don’t show up to accept awards from it. But it would be very personally satisfying to snub Trump in person. You know he’d try to get a picture or handshake to show the press.

To answer your question: none of the GOP will vote for this. See you in 2018 you nazi sympathizers.

Frankly in that case you probably just have to be black or a jew or gay or a woman or a liberal and it’ll become a defensive situation pretty fast.

I agree with you in principle. Completely and unreservedly. My only problem is one of practicality: this is an extremists ideology. It will not just go away. White culture absolutely must change. But also in this specific case it’s not about saving their souls, it’s about robbing them of recruits, and turning their

Ain’t no crackdown like an institutional crackdown.

I agree completely. Education and outreach and working to cut them off from their pool of recruits to radicalize, that’s the long term solution. But if someone is wearing a goddamn swastika and they come at anyone with a weapon in hand I would shed no tears if they got put down hard. Violence should not be the first

This is why we need a multi layered approach definitely. While violence and lawsuits may help in the short term, it’s this sort of education and outreach that ultimately turn the tide.

I like to think it’d be hard to find a jury that would convict but after this week...

I’m not sure I totally agree there. Usually that argument reduces to racism, and civilian casualties. If you said “punch everyone who advocates terrorism and genocide” then I’d agree with that. Nazism is explicitly about genocide. We still can’t have a one dimensional approach though. Defeating an ideology is damned

It’s not either or, though! We do have to educate and fight these people being radicalized. We ALSO should be conducting raids on their homes and places of business and freezing their assets and sending them to Gitmo because they are fucking terrorists.

This is very good work on Bee’s part. Fighting radical extremists and terrorists is only partly about killing them. You also have to educate, destroy their sources of revenue, silence their message, and remove the pool of recruits before they have a chance to radicalize them. You also have to vigorously defend your

I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “moral imperative”. Any person with a soul should feel a moral imperative to stand up and fight against literal genocide. Legally well its a grey area.

We bought a bottle of champagne to toast America’s first female president... My days of optimistic liquor purchases are over. Now it’s just knives and gin.

Never happen. Perp walk requires the perp to walk. He’s going to be dragged out like a child protesting a time out for something they don’t understand: screaming, crying, and deeply confused.

I’m not advocating for it because dragging his ass out of the oval office in cuffs is going to be so much more satisfying. If he dies they just blame everything on him and literally everyone else gets a pass. Mueller though, the investigation is going to turn over a lot of rocks. We just have to hang on and fight like
