41. I understand how you feel.

Jul 2021

Like I said, I don't like feeling this way. And yes, we are and always have been a nation of laws. It's what made up unique. Under normal times, I'd be right there with you. But we are dealing with seditionists who don't respect the law. They wave the flag and call themselves patriots, but are they? They have no respect for the rule of law, and think that their god Trump should have the final say in what happens, under all circumstances. They think that some day they'll be wearing the boot that's on their neck. They want an emperor, not a president, and as long as they think the emperor is their guy, they don't give a damn about what the law says. These are people that would have killed elected representatives if they had gotten their hands on them. But look at their reaction to one of their own being killed that day. Like I said...whiny little bitches.

Trump is not the end of this. Right now, in the ranks of the Republican party, another Trump is watching and learning. The next one will be smarter. He or she will be just as ego driven, but will learn to hide it. The straight up fascism will be in the background until needed. If this or any other democracy is going to survive, we have to fight fire with fire. We haven't been showing up to the gunfight with a knife...we've been showing up with a book. And they're burning it in front of us.

What they don't seem to realize is the only reason January 6th occured is because TFG didn't call out "the troops". Biden will. Let's see how these "patriots" stand up against the best trained military the world has even seen, instead of outnumbered capital police. My prediction is they turn and run the first time a bullet comes at them.

Light them up. It's time to shut them down. marble falls Jul 2021 #1
