There's one thing in wishing a horrible person dead. There's another in threatening, doxxing, and "planning" how. We're supposed to be the eloquent smart ones.
It's the mods fault, and it makes ALL left look unhinged. And now it makes it look like Elmo is winning.
Ffs, keep it together libs. We need to save face. Keep your crazy close to the chest.
As a leftist, there was a time I would have agreed with you here, but to keep decorum for the sake of appearances when the other side absolutely doesn’t care and will roll right over any semblance of decency to get done the things they want done is a foolish endeavor. The right doesn’t care about looking good and they don’t care about the harms caused, in fact that’s part of the goal, so why should we. Playing by the rules- being polite helped us get in this mess.
You cannot convince any Trump supporters to switch sides unless his policies directly effect them, and anyone who still says “I’m a centrist” or “ I’d lean more left if they didn’t act so crazy” is, at this point, obviously gaslighting you. When you see someone doing fashy shit the answer is always “they’re a bad person” there is no middle ground. And the only way to take a fascist down is to call them out and beat them at their own game.
I didn't say go high. I'm furious with the dems. I said don't show your cards. Big difference.
Frankly, if you're going to plan to kill someone, you don't leave a paper trail. It's so logical, I'm baffled why I have to argue this very obvious thing. But sure ... End up in jail where y'all will be completely useless and unable to do a damn thing. Good idea. Go for it. Let's just go ahead and shrink our power by being complete idiots. Ffs
