4. That is democracy at work!

I would bet every one of them will also be working GOTV efforts until election day and beyond.

This makes me feel hopeful today......

5. the reactionary suburbanites are still crying about the VIOLENT ANTIFA MOB

Seriously.

Bunch of crybabies in my family who fled Portland for various suburbs last century and get their news from FOX.

Clamoring for more brutality to shut down the attacks.

11. Sounds like my Facebook feed thanks to former high school classmates.

DC suburbs, MD side, and they're losing their freakin' minds over ANTIFA.

12. post that photo for them of the landing at D-Day where the GIs are labeled Antifa 1944.

That startles them.

13. A good number of them are military, which is really depressing.

And they have a RWNJ answer for everything.

Statement by Maureen Healy, July 22, 2020
For Immediate Release

Since June, I have been attending peaceful protests in Portland neighborhoods in support of Black Lives Matter. I have gone with family and friends.

I am a 52-year-old mother. I am a history professor.
I went downtown yesterday to express my opinion as a citizen of the United States, and as a resident of Portland. Of Oregon. This is my home. I was protesting peacefully. So why did federal troops shoot me in the head Monday night?

9. Because they are the real terrorists. They should all be driven away or eliminated.

8. Unacceptable! Period.

10. Trump knows damned well he's not winning this battle nor most of the ones he's waging

But it's right there in his Fascist Notebook, never admit to having been wrong, never accept defeat.

That's why he sticks with his decisions, no matter how inane or destructive. Because he can't admit fault. Because admitting it once opens the floodgates to the actual questioning of ALL of his decisions.
