Let them get violent… we need to speed this shit up and have the civil war already before another GQP president had control over the military. Sure, people are gonna die… but it won’t be anyone on the left.
#consequences 🤪
My first instinct was to shame you for your indifference of right-leaning human lives lost, but I would rather use this as an opportunity to educate since I thought the same as you at one point.
January 6th was a violent insurrection, and as a result of that violence, people who were doing their jobs were traumatized to the point of suicide, and the traitor Ashley Babbitt is immortalized as a saint. The "GQP" will look at comments like yours and say "THE LEFT HATES TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICANS AND WANT TO KILL US" to rally their supporters into a frenzy. Leaders will use more polarizing language and all but ensure the next January 6 style attack will be bloodier and more effective. Innocent people will be wrapped up in this, and people will die, whether you think they deserve it or not.
We need to treat this with the urgency of a severe mental health crisis. We're quite literally witnessing mass cult brainwashing where people I love and respected fall down this rabbit hole of an abusive relationship between themselves and these far right provocateurs. For those that have not committed crimes against their fellow man, we should work towards helping them. For those who have, let the courts deal with them and have them rot.
I hear your opinion, but I disagree. Thank you for not trying to shame me, because I wouldn’t feel shame for being (what I feel is) right.
I’m not asking for a war… but if they want to try to “rise up,” the army will mow them down and we can all go back to a “normal” political landscape.
What utopia it would be, in comparison to the mental illness that is the right.
Thank you for clarifying what you meant with your original comment, it's most definitely a message I'm more on board with! At the end of the day, we are more human rights while the right is more tax cuts for the rich.
There's also no need to thank me for not shaming you, but it is appreciated and you're welcome! Just because we're on the internet doesn't mean you're not owed basic human decency.
Well, telling me you didn’t shame me is kind of like shaming me and also saying you’re better then me at the same time ;)
So, thanks for saying thanks 😉😉
