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.

    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.
