America was 13 of 14 on one side and 14 of 14 on the other side.
Now they're tied.
2 party system is really working for US citizens. huh?
An Idolitized leader takes a flesh wound from a sniper rifle, and less than 10 seconds later his followers do the nationalist chant.
Sounds like textbook fascism to me.
Nice pic dude.
My point was the whole being desensitized to gunfire and someone being shot right in front of you, and responding to not only a public shooting, but an assassination attempt with "USA! USA! USA!" like they were at fucking Medieval Times eating a chicken with their bare hands and drinking diet coke and the green knight just took a flail to the bread basket.
I have learned when to hesitate before I ingest media, and I'm still assessing the situation.
For either eventuality, we (Americans) are all so screwed, and the rest of the world is on notice.
The real thing to report on is how while (aparently, because initial reports said no crowd deaths, then Fox reported a crowd death, and now everyone is reporting a crowd death), noone ran. They just kinda mulled around, then started chanting "USA. USA. USA."
Behold gentlemen. Fascism manifest.
The initial copy of The Project for the New American Century that was distributed in a closed Republican conference and had a graphic of a plane hitting the twin towers on the cover.
This conference was well before 9/11.
"I'm gonna put Republicans in my cabinet" is my favorite part. Real strong stance for someone saying Republicans are the end of democracy.
