(3,795 posts)They want us to resort to violence--don't give them an excuse to demonize us further. Resistance, yes. Don't give up. The odds may seem hopeless at times, but they can't silence all our voices. Speak up, speak out, in every way possible.

(1,212 posts)I was NOT suggesting that we storm the Capitol with pitchforks and nooses. That looked stupid when they did it.
Who among us thinks that the powers behind this fucking clown show will see the error of their ways and stop the attacks on the left? Certainly not me.
Does anyone think that the end result will be a confrontation at your fucking front door. (as if that never happened before).
Any one who wishes to can offer the evil maga motherfuckes a beer or a cup of tea and a chat.
Rest assured that I will have other plans.

(1,438 posts)Until then they're happy to watch folks kill each other, all the while talking about how "horrible" it is.
But our "leaders" have all agreed to support the Second Amendment, for the time being. All two parties. I know this because it's never been repealed. BTW, have you heard the outpouring of sentiment for repeal, since Kirk got lead poisoning? Me neither. Crickets.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
