Pitchforks and torches Jonny, pitchforks and torches

Why would the FBI director tweet arrests. Is the US government a reality show?

Why didn't we just elect Kamala? I don't wanna put blame on anyone but if you had convictions about her because of anything. The alternative (fascism) should have been people's "suck it up" and vote for her moment. This is all so crazy.

This doomerism doesn't help. There are free & fair elections every week in this country. 2028 isn't the next one.

I do very much want to say Welp, that's that. And there's a lot of evidence that it is indeed, that. But that doesn't mean capitulating.

You don't ever write something in a public forum without expecting some sort of reaction. I would ask Jon what response he would possibly expect from that? For someone to read it and say, "Yep, he's right, everything is screwed, might as well lay down and die,"?

It helps no one and does nothing.

Actually, no, scratch that, it does help someone. It helps this regime trying to maintain the illusion of ultimate, unstoppable power. It helps to convince people that we might as well stop protesting and give up because the bad guys have won, will never be stopped, and it's all over.

Exactly. It's a form of obeying in advance. We will have free elections in 2028 after we win all the free elections before that.

Especially when we’ve seen examples this week that it’s not the case (i.e. the autistic persons registry being stopped, ban on trans-affirming care for transgender servicepeople being lifted).

fballandrea.bsky.social•26 days ago

Exactly.

He has a point, though. There's a lot of time between now and 2028 and to consider everything already lost and gone just plays into their illegal little hands. Don't assume it's already over.

Was watching Abby Phillip on CNN last night referring to the 2028 merch as trolling and laughing it off. I’d like to know how many times Republicans have to break laws and ignore the constitution before journalists can start being proactive about the obvious and consistent criminality

2028? I'm worried about the mid-terms. They aren't accepting Democrats taking back Congress and being held accountable for all of this.

What happens next with judges reactions will be the truly frightening thing. How many are going to bend the knee? How many will unite to maintain order, if every other industry that has been shaken down is any indication, we’re on the cusp of no more protection

They're already selling official Trump 2028 merch, some featuring the slogan "Rewrite The Rules"
