Nah, if this sticks, my extreme leftist ass will sing his praises.
Extremes hate everything, so it doesn’t really matter what they think.
Extreme leftists share the equivalent brain power as Trump supporters
Hey extreme lefty here, I just want healthcare, cheap housing, and to be left the fuck alone. Sure killing a few billionares and sending prosperity preachers to the coldest pit of Hel would be fun and all but I just want to do my own thing and not have to deal with rich cunts trying to exploit my labor. Is that too much to ask?
I don’t think that’s extreme lefty. Extreme would be those people wanting to replace capitalism, make everything government controlled, and be just as authoritarian and anti-democratic as the right already are.
I also wish to replace capitalism, with a mix of co-ops and syndicats. Maybe with some carved out exceptions for bussinesses that require say seasonal workers but dont reuire many workers for most of the year.
I also want to burn down prosperity churches and commit the blood eagle on billionaires. I am an extremist, I just happen to be pragmatic and realistic enough to know what I can realistically get. Tankies are just fascists with a red coat of paint.
I don’t see how any of that works at scale but ok.
To the enlightened centrist you are responding to, yes.
As an extreme leftist, this rings hollow.
A lot of my leftist friends will still let the bad be the enemy of any sort of good whatsoever it seems. It's exhausting as a leftist when you can never be outraged enough for other leftists.
This i can sympathize with. I do not reach the violently inappropriate level of outrage cultivated and appreciated in this country.
He did something: add national security loopholes
The worst possible offenders aren't really being reined in by this executive order.
