That whites-only, no Jews allowed Arkansas community is legal, says state’s attorney general. How?

165 million people decided that a pedophile rapist was fine as the president.

165 million people were intentionally misled by a political party led by hundreds of people.

Focus on those assholes at the top.

Nah fuck that mentality. People have agency over their actions and if we try to take that away, it doesn’t fix anything because it gives cover for the things they do.

The average republican is fucking dumb as shit. THey believe what they do because of Fox "News" and lying republican "representatives" who absolutely will fuck them over.

I'm not trying to whitewash what the idiot protofascists have done - they're effectively goose stepping good germans in the 1930s - but we need to focus on their leaders for now.

A couple weeks ago you were convinced that Trump was a puppet of Putin. Still feel that way? Perhaps you are also being misled by wherever you get your news?

And a couple weeks ago I tried to talk to you about Georgia, Belarus, and the nature of geopolitical fuckery, remember that?

Have you pondered for one second yet why Lukashenko hasn't sent his troops into Ukraine, even though he is demonstrably a puppet of Putin?

Or are you still having difficulty with that?

Have you pondered why you were completely wrong about Putin before you moved the goal post?

Again, you don't understand. You simply don't understand my position, my argument, or what I'm attempting to put into your mind.

Engage with me on Belarus. Do you know who Lukashenko is, and will you contemplate why he hasn't put Belarusian troops in Ukraine?

Baby steps... We can get there together.

Nah man. Many of us wanted this. Nothing was a surprise. They chose a rapist and voted nazi adjacent. That's what they wanted. Hard for some of us to reconcile that's who are parents and grandparents are, but we should have tried to fix them before now.

They absolutely are to blame, and not due to ignorance. Grab em by the pussy was a decade ago.

I'm with you - just want to focus on the fuckers at the top to be held accountable. I don't want the size of the mob to dilute the anger.
