Americans have let themselves be outsmarted by the authorities. They’ve been tricked into being too busy fighting each other to do anything about the Constitution or the Epstein files.
When disorganized rightwingers tried haphazardly to stand up to unlawful authorities on Jan 6, many only cared about attacking the “other side” while supporting their own unlawful authorities. They were labeled as insurrectionists by the “other side.” One of them was killed.
Now disorganized progressives are trying haphazardly to stand up to unlawful authorities. Many only care about attacking the “other side” while supporting their own unlawful authorities. They’re labeled as insurrectionists by the “other side.” Two and counting have been killed.
It’s too late for me to ask each of them if they were fighting for one side, or everyone.
Many protesters are trying to get organized and take down both sides’ unlawful authorities.
What if more ex-Trumpers joined in too?
We don’t have to vote red or blue forever.
If some of us can be trustworthy, we can organize to remove Trump and his enablers with midterms (or earlier), and follow up every year to keep removing justice-obstructors from both parties.
Nazis and liberals are simply not equivalent. It’s like eating actual horse diarrhea vs eating Flavor Aid powder. Ashley Babbitt died defending horse diarrhea. Maybe next time try dying for something cool 🤷♂️
Edit: I’m not a fucking liberal either (hence the Flavor Aid reference) but it is absolutely ridiculous to compare someone rioting because the fascism wasn’t hard enough (Babbitt) to someone protesting fascists (Good and Pretti).
“Horse diarrhea” is meaningless words.
I had less sympathy at the time for Ashli Babbitt being killed while supporting the spread of COVID. But after recent events, I have less sympathy for anyone trying to make excuses for the fatal shooting of an unarmed protester.
Even if Babbitt’s killing was unjustified, I’m not shedding a tear for a fucking Nazi no matter the circumstances of her death.
Also it was a fucking cop who shot her so even if he did everything correctly by the books, he’s still a fucking cop so light him on fire or whatever.
Good because I wasn’t waiting for your sympathy.
I’m sure if you just keep voting for Democrats that will defeat the police state
Like I said I’m not a liberal. I don’t support Democrats.
What do you want with me then? I’m trying to convince ex Trumpers to support the protests and convince protesters to keep up the pressure after Trump is gone
You’re doing a pretty shit job at it.
Do you also go to magician shows and explain every technique they try to use and then say they’re shit at magic?
Just say those things I guess 🤷♂️
Like IMO hero-worship is a weak strategy.
There’s zero semblance of hero-worship in my post.
Look all I’m gonna say is that I and a few other commenters have taken issue with this piece of agitprop and I think you should take it back to the drawing board 🤷♂️
Calling J6 a “protest” is deeply and intentionally disingenuous, and materially misrepresents the intent of those who incited it, as well as the intent of most of the people involved, as well as, you know, the actual fucking actions of the rioters that participated in it, and the intentional and overt hamstringing of riot control forces by the guy who had authority to deploy them at the time (orangeboi). So, kindly do fuck off with your “alternative facts”.
No you’re right, I was being sloppy. I changed it to “rioting” for the comparison between J6 and kept “protesting” for the current ICE protests.
