The vast majority of the people who would actually fight on the right side of history have been thoroughly pacified by the rhetoric that using a weapon would be unacceptably barbaric, and that if you can’t make the change you want with words, you’re just not finding the right words. We’ll be holding quippy signs and chanting about justice even as the country literally crumbles around us.
a lot of people think it’ll only take a few hungry days for an uprising, but i don’t think they realize that’s exactly the plan. this is actually scary. the lack of fifth column pushback, the bending-over from major universities… these are all really clear indicators that what’s going on right now isn’t just some old, crazy dude spouting shit.
That’s what’s insane to me too. I thought for sure some general staff level officer, someone in the admiralty, sone old hands from the alphabet agencies, or some combination thereof would be like “he’s going to fucking kill us all. It’s time to color outside the lines”.
And yes, I know I’m basically saying that I’m holding out for a coup. But let’s be real: I’d trust the competence and compassion of any one of those groups an order of magnitude more than the people actually running the show at this point.
i’m sorry, but i can’t be funny right now. i usually try to joke about stuff, but here goes. if you are american and you’re NOT currently trying to kill the guy who just tried to declare himself king of your democracy, then i just don’t know what else to say to you.

Do you think the same thing for those living in China or Russia? What about those in Turkey or Hungary?
yup, exactly the same thing. are you surprised? you asked that question like you’d be surprised i’d say yes.
No, just verifying some things. Are you surprised? You asked that question like you would be surprised I’d say no.
i have a feeling we’ll be good friends.
Probably 😅
