It’s a start... Man oh man do we ever need to protect an independent media - you can already see the effects right wing propaganda has had. Greatest coup of warping people’s sense of reality since the third reich.

I think so. Luckily American are rising up on a local level - I just hope that we don’t stop! We stopped after they pushed through the Iraq war, and we stopped after the 99%... It’s gonna be slow clearing out all these imbeciles, but if we keep at it, we can do it!

The damage this admin is doing to democracy is staggering. How convenient that everyone will come out of this thinking not only that all politicians lie, but that incompetence and corruption are to be expected.

And the fact that THEY DON’T KNOW HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS!

Oh my god! I wanna goooo! That’s Grenada? I didn’t know they spoke English there.

You must be very beautiful indeed.

Or guitarists, or literary writers.

Because play acting the festivals of the generation that fought for social change is such a hot fashion trend! LMAO

“Political activism” is the hottest new trend!!1!

‘Cause nothing says ‘hippie’ like a multi-national corporate-consumerist conglomerate headed by a homophobic billionaire CEO

What I am trying to tell you - and a lot of people here are trying to make the same point - is that your comments IMPLY shame. Take it to its logical conclusion.

Get outta here. So, you want to require people to work three and four jobs as ‘punishment’ for having these types of jobs?

If you work as a full-time employee, a reasonable expectation is that you should be able to afford an apartment where you can drink the water from the tap, pay your bills and afford food. Right now in America, there are almost NO full-time jobs that offer a LIVING WAGE. ALL of the wealth in America has been displaced

For some people there is no “better job”. This is where they work and need to make their living. There are no factories anymore, or unions that would enforce a living wage, so this is a problem as more and more people turn to places like McDonalds or Wal-Mart to pay for their apartment, utilities and food. You can’t

Don’t forget the environmental diestruction

Whoa... lotta weird theories here, but the weirdest one seems to be toward the end. Obamacare creates part time employment, what? Listen ... you might like your master’s yoke, but the fact is economies do better when there is more of a middle class and the only way to have a middle class is to PAY YOUR DAMN WORKERS.

You, brother, have been sucking on the pipe of your corporatist propaganda. There are probably many reasons why unions won’t return (globalization and automization), but unions asking for their corporate overlords to act like decent employers ain’t one of them

I have to say, I have been singing this song since the election... and although it’s been known to me for years, no one around me seemed to know it, included my boyfriend who grew up in an IWW household.

Trump riles up the base - a base so stupid that they suck up all the rhetoric and can be counted on to hand over all their money, freedom and lives to corporations and their bodies to any war deemed necessary. As long as they have a figurehead that can continue to do that, the Republicans will be happy. 

Calling people out on privilege is getting old and the pitchfork crowd is getting tiresome... it’s also hugely damaging in today’s current environment. Is there anyway that we can find if notifying people so unenlightened as to be older than 70 (Bernie) or well meaning but just a little clueless?
