A time and place for everything [View all]

[angrychair]

I have absolutely loved Newsom's trolling of Mango Mussolini. It's really highlighted how stupid those posts from Mango Mussolini are and the hypocrisy of rightwing media.

That said, there is a time and place for everything. They are starting to wear out their welcome in my opinion.

In a world that seems to be literally drowning in unserious people and ignorance, people that have shown a complete inability to understand the difference between fact and fiction, this plot line from Newsom may be running it's course.

Nothing about these posts from Newsom is halting Mango Mussolini's growing power and violence he is building on every single day.

He has literally declared war on an American city and meeting such actions with jokes and memes is just not appropriate. It's not funny. And he is not joking.
I keep hearing that we need to let justice run it's course, that he is losing but waiting seems less and less like the answer because we are the only ones that thinks he is losing. He is clearly winning. He is sending the military into Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans and Boston now. That's far from "losing".
We need to take this much more seriously. We need our politicians to take this much more seriously.
We need to make a hard and complete break from all Republicans in politics. No more partnerships. No more joint anything. Even people like Massie. Fuck that guy. He will, unequivocally, fuck over Democrats in the end. It's in their blood. They can't help it.
We have to get serious here people. Stop saying stuff like "we have to let the process work" it is working. In his favor. Every. Single. Time. Even when it seems it's not.
The court rules to close down his concentration camp in Florida but then another court just let's it keep going. Doesn't matter anyway, Florida has already built another one.

Every fucking time you see a supposed "win" it either gets reversed or they just ignore the courts and nothing happens because what are the courts going to do? Wag their finger at them some more? The court orders are completely toothless and not worth the paper they are written on.

We need serious Democrats and serious Democratic politicians, to start organizing people and leading people in open PEACEFUL rebellion.
We need numbers though. Not a 1000 person march between 12-2 on a Saturday. We need 100,000 person march that that doesn't end at 2 pm or even 2am.
When did polite and timely protests end dictatorships? The wall did not come down n Germany in 1989 because people went home at 2 pm.
The protestors in France didn't just go home after a couple hours. The protestors in Indonesia didnt give up their efforts after a single day of sustained protesting.

All of them had jobs. Responsibilities. Families. But they protested anyway.

We are in serious trouble. Memes and jokes have their place and function. We also need serious organizations and serious politicians to do the hard work that is needed to met the moment.
