When they are out of power these brave people will be released.

I hate to be the one to break it to you... but the Wall Street liberals running the Dem party despises radicals even more then the fascism-cosplaying libs in the GOP.

Oh, look... another liberal that needs their own ideology explained to them.

Tell me, lib... who do you think the liberal oligarchs (the same ones that told you to "vote harder") keep around to protect all that precious "private property" that separates their social class from yours? Who do you think threatens it, eh?

Go ahead... show me the last time they gave actual fascists life sentences for owning home-made magazines.

Can't trust anyone who doesn't tie all their identities together. Could only be a fed, citing 'more than half of times this has happened before' instead of actual real respectable sources like the new York times, radio free Europe, and their currently placed kalshi bets.

The fact is: we need to vote harder than we've ever voted before if we want to get out of this. There is no other option.

Opinions and ideas should absolutely be validated based on social graph and literally nothing else. I'm glad we agree.

Maybe, if another suffocating centrist like Biden gets in power they might just try to be a "moderate" about it and not free these radical lefties to appease the rightwing. It is dubious whether the center of this country has learned this lesson yet and won't just let the next rightwing ideologue who has a nicer personal demeanor than Trump walk in and start moving the goalposts everywhere.

I hope you are right and I think there is a good chance it will, I am obviously just worried that the possibility I am sketching out is sickeningly plausible.

@supersquirrel

We are the center of this country.

That's always how it's worked before, yes. I am a history expert, so you can trust me.

Sorry? I was agreeing with you. Is agreeing with you 'trolling'?
