The gestapo went to his town.

I guess Batman was fucking right. Symbols are more powerful than men.

Do not connect violence to protest, even in jest. It’s gonna be a fun family friendly event.

I'm not going to have the AK with me.

This is good but meanwhile SCOTUS is about to rule in favor of the GOP which will ensure them being in power for at LEAST the next generation (15-20 years). The left is meme-ing and the right is making it impossible to vote. While any form of resistance is good, I dont think we're going to win in the end....

But what to do? Perhaps these non violent marches/protests remind people that they aren't alone. That as an enormous, country wide group, lots of people think this administration is wrong. This power incites others. I keep my fingers crossed for you all. There are so many good people but the dems ignore them. Listen to jasmine and aoc etc. Vote for mandami. Read banned books. Dress like a frog.

Which ruling are you referring to? There's been a lot and there are many more on the way.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, that would mean flipping 19 House seats from blue to red, so thats 38 (!!!) seats.

Wars take time, and we are at war. We *are* going to win in the end, promoting based on loyalty rather than competence is unsustainable in the long term. How many of us will be here to see it, what the country will look like, I dunno, but we are going to win.
That said, this is how we fight *this part* of the conflict. These people are deadly dangerous, but unserious as hell. Laugh at them. Be seen to mock them.
Authoritarianism works only when the population is more afraid than contemptuous.

You mean 40 years from now you'll win? Trump is only the precursor for the REAL dictator. Same as in Russia where Yeltsin destroyed the system and Putin got into power for the next 40 years. What good is that going to do to you or your children?

I'm fine with you giving up if you do it quietly.
