It must maintain and intensify, and we must act in total solidarity.

Donald Trump will never leave office peacefully.

I keep saying it.
And honestly, there's no sense in me reiterating this as folks will come to understand it for themselves eventually, but I'll say it again anyway;
Our institutions cannot save us.
We are entirely on our own.
The ONLY way out is a mass movement cemented in solidarity.
Full stop.

How they "feel" doesn't really matter.
What they decide to do does.

It must be added that he also called that good trouble "necessary".

Our institutions cannot save our democracy. This has now been proven in stark color time and again. And over and over it repeats.
We cannot look to any institution as a shield or bastion. They are either outright corrupt, incapable, or unwilling.
We.
Are.
On.
Our.
Own.

All civil wars begin when there is a schism in a country's military. In fact, it is the only mechanism by which a civil war can begin.
We are witnessing the beginning of that schism.

There is no "if".

Sure, I can explain it David;
Weaponized hypocrisy.
Full stop.

This right here is the issue.
The Democrat Party is fractured and split.
I will never forgive those who didn't show up to vote.
But until/unless our Party is unified we can never win this war.
And that's the plain reality of our circumstance. No excuses. No other option.

It is a difficult sell to implore people to yet again rely on our institutions when they have abjectly failed us.

Right.
And this is why I have lost all faith in this country.
I feel very bitter.
I wish I had never spent 20+ years of my life in service to it.
2024 was for all the marbles, but we fucked it up.
There is no going back.

Same sort of dumbfucks who throw canned soup or paint or whatever onto masterpiece paintings and think theyre fighting against climate change.

The Democrat Party cannot effectively fight this fight while it is fractured and split. It must be unified. Else we are lost.

I must object.
Biden mobilization of nat guard to southern border is in no way the equivalent of Trump's order.
The spirit of the two are in polar opposition. I do not champion civil violence either. It is self-defeating. But we must stop equating Trump's blatantly fascist motivation with normality.

Paul, the reality is the Democrat Party is fractured and split. Until and unless that fracture is mended, we cannot unite, and thus we cannot win this war. Our enemy knows this and intentionally exploits it via every manner possible.
That is the cold hard truth of the situation.

Exactly.
MAGA are a cult.
Fucking nuts.
But cohesive to the last.
Democrats are divided.
And that's really all there is to it with respect to 2024.
Those liberal folks who didn't show up screwed us all.

Trump won.
There is zero credible evidence to assert otherwise.
And he won because much of the Democrat base stayed home.
The numbers tell the story.
The stay-homers fucked us all.
Thiats very simply the way it is.
The Democrat Party is too fractured to effectively fight this war.
comment in response to
post
Yes, there is.
The fact of the matter is that Democrats didn't turn out.
Our base was too divided.
And still is.
Trump actually lost about ~3 million votes compared with 2020. His base shrank considerably.
But many liberals decided not to vote.
And that choice fucked us all.

If a writer writes something at 30, they may not hold those same perceptions when they are 50.
The only constant in the university is change.

That's the thing about lies; they cannot sustain themselves in perpetuity. Eventually they collapse. One way or another. And yet that is perhaps one of the most dangerous moments, as fascism by definition will never admit defeat or error, and will only ever scapegoat and doubledown.

There are two camps in Trump's orbit;
1 - Tech bro billionaires
2 - Neonazis
#1 doesn't give a flying fuck what Trump says or does so long as all regulation gets annihilated. Full stop.
But the problem is, they massively benefit from international students & labor, putting them at odds with #2.

He's going to shoot at invalidating Biden's pardons.

Trump operates like an open book b/c he's too fucking ignorant & inept to do any better
The meaning here is obvious;
Putin wants Trump's (USA) help in retaliating against Ukraine in exchange for manipulating Iran to help Trump
(no actual substantive geopolitical gain for USA, just fluff for Trump)

Well, he got the "straw" right.
comment in response to
post
You are correct. It is exactly what they want.
And, sadly, it is exactly what they are going to get.
What this country did in Nov 2024 was to sign itself over to a quasi civil war.
And there is no going back.
Trump will never leave office peacefully.
And will eventually need to be removed.

Trump will never leave office willingly.
He will need to be forcibly removed.

The important question the American people need to be asking themselves is this;
Why in the flying fuck is the White House wasting your tax dollars and all of our collective time on going to war with Harvard rather than addressing the very real and pressing concerns of governing this country?

Ah yes, the inevitable backtrack of the wealth class when they figure out that under fascism they too are subjects, and money can't buy everything.

Ok. But then the question is; why did Booker choose "decorum"?
This is a god damn all-out war on democracy itself. Not a fucking etiquette contest.
You don't bring table manners to a knife fight.

History is a mean son of a bitch sometimes. And those who endure and survive times such as those are often left deeply embittered by it, their good will and faith in their fellow man permanently wrecked, unable to ever truly leave it behind.
Monuments, parades, museums, and songs do not suffice.

"In sync with Trump" horseshit aside;
Can Mrs McMahon, whose husband is presently accused of sex trafficking, name even one university that was conducting research outside the bounds of the law?
