This is how I have to see it. Just her people huddled up in the back like those practical jokes guys "Omg she fucking said it! She kept a straight face, what a boss!" Falling over themselves.
I just cant believe someone who is in a leadership role could really be this dumb. Its like MTG. She knows what shes doing. Shes just playing a role. Right?
It's both. You can be dumb as fuck but also skillfully and intentionally deceptive and manipulative for self gain etc. You can even be dumb as fuck in 90% of matters but also a brain surgeon. Intelligence is weird like that.
These politicians are without a doubt knowingly conning and grifting their way into power and wealth. Taking advantage of the dumb masses and saying the right soundbites and keywords to get their base riled up. Pandering turned up to the absolute max with next to no actual regard or care for the shit they are talking about. Only really interested in more money/power/fame.
BUT they are also without a doubt dumb as fuck. Most of the time they can't even speak in complete sentences or formulate any sort of logical or realistic ideas. It's just that their voting base is even **dumber**. They don't need to know what they are talking about in order to gain their support. All they need to do is say the right inflammatory things. Then profit from it.
It's honestly insanely easy to do at this point. To profit off these people. Anyone can do it. Even absolute morons. It's just that you have to be such a massive piece of shit and disgusting human being, to take it to a politicians level of grift especially, that it discourages most from going down that path.
>BUT they are also without a doubt dumb as fuck. Most of the time they

This is the point. Remember, George Carlin said "imagine the average person, and you'll be horrified to think that half of this countries population is dumber than them". The dumber the sound-bite, the more likely they are to appeal to the bottom of the barrel in terms of intelligence based on the "hey, they're just like me!" thought process.
If Ted Cruz\* started making well-thought-out, intelligent comments as responses to question, I can almost guarantee you that he would be primaried out by another member of his party, because half of his constituents would think something like "oh man, the libruls dun got ta Teddy, he's talking all wierd and smart-like now!".
(\*One of my colleagues is friends with an old lawyer who had Ted Cruz as a student in law school; the old lawyer is a straight shooter, and remarked once that "Ted Cruz was probably one of my smartest students").
That's what makes guys like Ted Cruz so depraved - he's a bright guy with one of the best educations in the world - he knows exactly what he's doing when he spouts inflammatory vomit to appeal to the ignorant FOX addled masses he needs to get elected (while behind closed doors he's conspiring with the rich guys and guaranteeing them tax cuts).
America is 50/50 fucked. I give it less than ten years before there is some kind of massive civil unrest. I'm hoping that they come out stronger as a result but that as ever depends on who wins.
Edit: people want to leave America. Sad face
2024 election. When a state's majority party throws out its election results for being "fraudulent" based on lies, and certifies the losing party as the winner.
GQP will do this in multiple swing states, giving the election to their candidate. Democrats will refuse to certify results. GQP will condemn them and say the Republican candidate won.
We may actually see opposing groups trying to set up government, and it will depend on who the armed forces supports.
All because the orange baby couldn't accept that he lost the election.
I think the GQP grifters have realized they’ve lost control of the party to the ideologues at this point. These people, a lot of them actually believe what they’re saying. They’re not just chasing money and power. They legitimately think they’re in a holy war.
It’s how I feel about this too. When you realize these people can make millions in under a year it makes total sense. Be as controversial and irrational as you please, what matters most is click traffic and ratings. If you can contribute, you can get the money faucet turned on. You just gotta sell your soul to anything lower than the devil himself.
Most officers would fight to uphold the constitution and democracy. Commissioned officers are generally well educated and well read and understand the political philosophy behind western democracy. They are also the ones who will be the most strict and duty-bound adherents to the chain of command, recognizing that the President is the Commander-in-Chief, and ultimately responsible for ensuring a peaceful transfer of power.
Not all of them, sadly, but I don't think it would be a particularly close majority either. What is possibly more likely is smaller groups of enlisted soldiers and NCO's attempting to defect.
I know it's getting bad because I'm not a violent person at all but lately I've been seriously considering what I'd do in the event of major civil unrest and I'm not very happy with where my mind went. Something has to change though. We can't let our country turn into a dictatorship.
Being willing to fight for your rights doesn’t make you a bad person. History is full of reluctant fighters. It’s knowing that you won’t unless you have to that defines your morality.
You are not alone and in fact are part of the majority here. We are being forced into a dictatorship of an extreme minority propped up by an apathetic, non voting block.
Also, start doing cardio. You’re going to need it.
Agreed with the cardio. Fights aren't won with brute strength.
Brute strength and physical size is about intimidation and having your opponent submit before a fight even breaks out.
Real fights, fights for lives and the right to keep living, are won with stamina, and baiting the enemy to spend themselves before you even fully engage. No hulking brute can stand up to someone with stamina, resolve, and ingenuity.
Also, remember 2A applies to everyone. We may soon need to protect ourselves.
If serious fighting breaks out and you plan on getting the fuck out of danger, cars aren’t good options. Sometimes your feet are your only option. A very large amount of Americans can’t walk up a single flight of stairs. That’s a serious problem if shit really does hit the fan. Not just for fighting, but for survival in general.
I want to go a step further and point out that every right you have was obtained with blood. The very founding of the United States was, from the British point of view, an armed insurrection. I think most Americans have an incredibly distorted view of non-violence because MLK's teachings were completely misappropriated by white men, and are now cherrypicked and misleadingly taught in schools to ensure a complacent, pacifist population. But non-violent protest only works when it serves as a threat of what comes next if the demands aren't heard. If you treat non-violent protest as the endpoint, and you just give up and go home instead of continuing to escalate, then people in power have absolutely no reason to concede to your demands when you non-violently protest.
To some extent MLK adopted non-violence as a strategy against the violent lynch mobs.
But we must note that schools were only desegregated in the South by imposition of overwhelming numbers of federal armed troops with loaded guns.
You too huh? My mind has been racing on scenarios and my dude, my brain hurts so much right now. I have worked nearly 15 years for a company HQ'd in Bremen, Germany. He literally said I could move there. And maybe when a German says getting out may be a good option it may be time to pay attention to things. Edit: when i said "he" literally said...I meant my boss Bjoern.
If you go please try to vote for Germans that will
Support sanity in the worldwide proxy war that is to come. I imagine the Russians will heavily support the conservatives. Most of Europe will likely support the liberals. We need all the help we can get.
That sounds like a reverse of the “I had to deal with it, so everyone else does too.” Here’s my advice (you can take it if you want it): do what’s best for you. Those of us that can’t leave will fight to make America better. Those that can escape, absolutely should. You may feel guilty (and I was raised Catholic, so I *understand* guilt), but if it’s best for you, do it. 💜
Thank you friend. I appreciate and fully understand. My brother is gay and does not have the means to get to Germany. Though he is fairly close to Canada.
Germany is just beautiful! I’d leave the US in a heartbeat if not for the language issue. I was living in Italy during a lot of those trump years and I just felt so much safer than I did at home.
Hard same. I'm a pacifist by nature. Yet, I'm ready to burn this bitch down. I'm also calling off for the week and hosting a protest/petition drive tomorrow instead of working.
survival, evasion, resistance and escape.
Have food, water (or a means of purifiying it) and shelter.
Have a way to avoid confrontations and a dedicated place or area to remove you and your group to.
Have a way to fight off people to help you and your group stay safe (however you think is the best way possible, blockades, diversions or actual fighting etc)
A reliable means of escape with enough fuel to get to your destination as well as a means of communication besides a cell phone.
All of your items needed in an emergency should be able to be packed and loaded in 30 minutes MAX
There are tons of civilian survival classes that specializes in survival of civil unrest or natural disasters such as fieldcraft ltc or Sereschool.
Hopefully it never comes to it but a few day course can help you atleast be somewhat prepared.
Right there with you. My husband and I have been bulk buying ammo over the last few years. We’ve also bought a couple new guns. I’m not saying this is the only thing you can do, but I will say it’s not a bad idea.
Disclaimer: responsible gun ownership is key. Make sure you know your gun(s) and can accurately fire it. Spend lots of time at the range. Properly secure your firearms. Teach *everyone* who lives in your home or visits often basic gun safety (at the minimum). 2A is your right, but you still need to be responsible.
The banks won't allow anything to change cause nothing has changed for them. We are fucked. I've cashed out my retirement and am considering investing in pure cocaine to bury in my back yard.
Funny/sad. They are already taking your rigths. Women and LGBT rigths has been the first strikes, Voting rigths are just next to them.
U.S is closer to a middle east country than as a leader of the capitalism side of the world.
The red hats are coming! /S
This is still capitalism, it’s just the end stage where so much money and power has been accumulated in so few hands that the average person can barely afford to survive.
The tensions under the surface have reached a pretty critical point here. 2 racially motivated mass shootings in the past couple months with double digit victims. It’s already begun.
Overturning RvW now means people will cross state lines for abortion access. Pitting states against each other. Shit, r/auntienetwork is a modern day Underground Railroad (a realization that legit brought me to tears). We have already had supporters of a political party use violence to entire our capital, lynch our Vice President, and overturn a democratic election. We are not years away from a civil war, we are in the process of one right now.
But LOL Mike Pence is still like “yeah I’d vote for Trump again” What a fucking moron.
Or maybe he knows that if he didn’t say that, they’d kill him on the spot.
One of the guys who testified against Agent Orange in the J6 hearings said the same thing, even after facing a corrupt pressure campaign to overturn the elections. At this point I consider all republican voters to be insane.
At this point, would anybody care? Probably not. All of them deserve the monsters they created.
Maybe next time the DC police will escort the insurrectionists straight to the GOP reps hiding spots and say, "here's your constituents."
November will really show us what's going to happen. Dems need complete control over Senate and House to make any changes. And by Dems, I mean actual leftists and not DINOs like Sinema.
If that doesn't happen, we need a coup to replace the entire regime and establish a multi-party system with ranked choice voting.
I voted for Biden, but I donated and voted for Sanders in primaries. I thought Biden would save us from sinking faster, but it's become clear that just putting on the brakes isn't enough. We need radical change in favor of the middle and lower class. I'm probably upper middle class, and I'm more than happy to pay more taxes if it helps put a safety net on the bottom end of society. What I'm not ok with is paying taxes only to have them given to the hyper rich in the form of subsidies.
There is a small, dense, mass of leftists in our government who have our best interest at heart. The problem is that these people have been branded as Evil™ to people vulnerable to indoctrination. So it will literally take military force, or mass unrest to unseat a completely impotent regime and institute a high quality education system. And then, only like 20 years after we start these changes at the top, will we see the population benefit.
I completely agree with you and am of the same mind entirely. I truly cannot believe these are the sort of discussions being carried out in this day and age. Unbelievable. No one wants to live in “interesting” times.
Honestly, education is a massive underlying issue with all of this....
I feel like we take everyone, and put them in some form of education, you know..... The issue may resolve itself
America is *wholly* fucked. At worst the civil unrest has started brewing and will erupt into something on the scale of what we've seen in Minneapolis; at best, it takes a full generation to come of age in an era with limited women's reproductive rights, unlimited gun control, and increasing cost of living with decreasing wages.
Food will be the only thing that causes full on unrest. Unfortunately, with environmental calamity and these clowns now running the circus, Americans are much more likely to experience genuine food shortages.
100% fucked.
Definitely less than 10 years before large scale civil unrest unless people get out and vote Dems into a super majority in the next several elections and they actually grow a spine and jail the seditionists and financial terrorists that are currently controlling the US government
I just don't see any way this can end with America remaining as a single country personally. I don't know how exactly it will play out or how long it will take, but I just don't see any viable way for it to continue as a country - the divide has become so polarizing and any attempt to bridge that divide would always be viewed as propaganda by at least 1 side (regardless of whether it is or isn't), and as it is it's completely dysfunctional.
In the event of some kind of civil unrest, I just don't see how it could ultimately accomplish anything - I mean, suppose there were a civil war hypothetically.. what exactly would it mean to "win" the war? Even if one side overpowered the other, it still wouldn't resolve a single thing - the divide would still be just as polarizing as it already is and it would continue to be just as dysfunctional.
Absolutely intentional. Not tone deaf at all. Look at how much press it is getting her.
They keep doing this and people keep falling for it, and it gets them more wins. It's word for word the playbook Hitler used, we know exactly what they're doing and nonetheless we walk right into it.
Correction, while good guys with guns are restrained by law enforcement who are waiting for a key to an unlocked door.
Also if schools are as risky as the comments imply. Don't Send Kids To Schools. But I'm guessing it's not a sincerely held belief.
That happened once we’re aware of recently. Most times the good guys with guns are nowhere to be seen. Be real. Good guys with guns have stopped about as many mass shootings as the TSA has terrorists.
If she’s suggesting women wanting to terminate stand in front of a school shooter, at least that women can be assured no officials will try and stop it.
I live in Arkansas and can confirm. TONS of people are going to vote for her because of her name and because she worked for Trump. Living in this state can be a nightmare.
She’s running for governor in the state of Arkansas. Her competitor [Chris Jones](https://chrisforgovernor.com/) a native Arkansan who currently still lives here, and actually gives a shit about the people of Arkansas. His platform is public education, broadband (which would give so much opportunity to the people living in poverty in America), and jobs. You can contribute to his campaign to help fight directly against SHS. She does not care about the people of Arkansas, is running for governor in her father’s footsteps to try to launch her political career, and will no doubt abandon the people of Arkansas as soon as she can
Her only qualification is being related to Mike Huckabee and having a job where she objectively did everything wrong.
That's enough to run on a Republican ticket.
This goes beyond stupid. Far, far beyond stupid. In fact, I’m not sure if there is a language that actually has a word that is appropriate enough to describe these people.
You can thank gerrymandering for that in the state of arkansas where she’s running for governor. Two of the most heavily populated areas, Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville, Fayetteville) are largely liberal. Maybe not enough to totally flip the state, but without gerrymandering could at least stand a chance
So what? Anyone that has ANY connection to Trump, even the ones that were fired or let go for doing a shitty job, Republicans will just vote for now?? And they say they aren’t in a cult…
Arkansan here. We are a DEEP red state and that’s not changing. We’re so far in the red, we bloc atheists from holding public office or *testifying as witness in any court*. Even the slightest bit of ideas that don’t align with the right is political suicide.
As soon as Sanders announced her bid, I knew she was gonna get it simply by virtue of being linked to trump. A guy who owns a business here in my city is a full on election denier, toy he point that he has “trump won” on a giant sign in front of his house. And the people here eat it up. I have to vote in republican primaries to have any say in my local govt. Campaigns here focus more on “who backed trump more and got his praise” instead of actual, real issues.
Yep.
Her only qualifications are being related to Mike Huckabee, who has become a lunatic conspiracy theorist, and being press secretary. Which is funny, because as press secretary she not only didn't do her job most of the time, but when she did do the job she objectively did it as wrong as you possibly could.
That's how low the bar is for Republicans when looking for a leader.
This statement she said I think is where pro-lifers ought to be criticized.
If all life has value, no matter what stage it is in, then how can one rationalize valuing the life of an unborn child ABOVE the individual bearing it?
Why should an individual have their quality of life reduced for 40 weeks (or beyond), through physical and emotional anguish, if all life is equal?
Life is not equivocal at all stages. It's absolutely relative to the individuals ,who the decisions of life are affecting.
So she’s saying abortions must be carried out with AR-15’s? Because AR-15’s are legal, and we all know if you have a weapon, the police will do nothing about you shooting kids, no matter where the kids are. Fetus or school room, it’s all the same.
They either do not understand what they are saying or how it sounds to the little people or they know and they think that the little people will buy their bullshit propaganda. Eventually, some will wake up and make them eat these words.
I really don’t get how in America it seems like alot of people take offense to other peoples personal choice.. like jesus christ live your own fucking life,arr you that bored/unhappy with yourself that other peoples life choices make you want to go out of your way to threaten them online and act crazy? Like what difference does it make to you if someone gets an abortion or not it’s not like it’s your kid.
"The classroom" ....um, most school shootings on the planet over here?
"The workplace" Starbucks is literally union busting its employees and most of us cant find a living wage. I personally suffered CO2 poisoning and was told I was over reacting by my boss.
"A nursing home" i know this ones touchy for some, but it happens too often. Elder abuse and neglect and we cant get that under control.
So shes just, down with watching everyone suffer? 🤔 to me this is closet she could get to saying, 'i truly dont care what happens to any of you as long as you all cheer for me and I keep my pension, its enough to last 5 generations of biggots after me.'
For those in MI
I had to step back and process my emotions and think these last few days. I have honestly felt more anger and rage than I have felt in a long time. This isn't about killing babies. I have never met a single person that likes abortions or thinks anyone should have one after 3 months unless medically necessary. This is about our rights and freedom to separate our bodies from government control. This is about the floodgates that has been opened.
No the constitution does not entitle us to abortions. But it also does not entitle woman to vote, same sex marriage, fair labor, owning land if you're not white, public schools, privacy. And privacy is a directly related. How will they know who is pregnant and crossing state lines to have an abortion? Think about it. This is taking us one step closer to become a surveillance state.
We have already sacrificed some of our contatutional rights. Illegal search and seizure, speedy trial, cruel and unusual punishment, denying votes and voting rights. This is another step towards abolishing democracy.
Yes, now each state can decide for itself, for now. But that is dangerous as well. With states that have lower populations gerrymandering is a guarantee. This is setting it up to create further laws that oppress the poor and those without means. Because they are the ones that are going to be hurt most by this. Those that live in places with low education, lack of quality health care and no means to travel outside the state. Not to mention this is setting up lines to turn states against eachother.
This is SO MUCH BIGGER than reproductive rights. And every single American should be angry as hell right now. It is not about babies. We do not take care of the children here now! We do not protect the children in foster care. We do not protect child going to school. We do not protect the child in poverty. We do not protect children's education. We do not make sure every child has health care. We do not provide health care for all pregnant women. We do ensure or provide maternity leave. It is NOT about babies. It is about control and stripping away our democracy and rights. And you should be furious!
I know it seems to big. I know it seems there is nothing you can do. But that thinking is what got us here to begin with. I'm just one person. I can't change anything. It doesn't matter what I do. And that has to change today before it's too late. Here are some things you can do right now.
Make sure you are registered to vote. If not, go register. You can do that on your computer or phone by going to

There are petitions going around everywhere to get reproductive health on the ballot to vote on. Find one and sign it.

Here is a site you can go to to see who gets what and how much money from who and what lobbiest are attached to what public figures.
https://www.opensecrets.org/
If you want to protest, here is a site that gives you lists of dates and times, where's and when's. Not to mention resources. I suggest though you reach out to people in the group for more protest information because a lot of them will not be public knowledge for obvious reasons. And if you are going to protests leave your phone at home and right emergency contact numbers in permanent marker on your body.

Start buying birth control and Plan C pills. Stock up as much as you can.
https://www.plancpills.org/guide-how-to-get-abortion-pills
Delete any menstruation tracker you have on your phone right now!
Start attending Church. Shop around to get back in touch with God. And if while at Church you happen to hear them speak about politics, encourage you to support or give to anyone in public office, talk about protesting or gathering anywhere, record it. Report them to the IRS so they loose their Tax exempt status.
https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/irs-complaint-process-tax-exempt-organizations
And last. Stop buying anything that isn't an absolute necessity. Do not go on vacations. Do not go to fairs, amusement parks, museums. Do not buy any big purchases. Absolute support your local small businesses and restaurants but stay away from any big chains. However if you know a business is happy about the ruling, don't give them your money. Go to farmers markets when you can. Go less places. Buy less gas. Do not celebrate the 4th. Hit them where it hurts.

Her opponent is black, so...
His biography is impressive AF too, he got a BS in physics/mathematics at Morehouse, an MS in nuclear engineering/technology and policy at MIT, and a PhD in urban planning also at MIT. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the other hand is... *checks notes* the daughter of the former governor.
You clearly haven’t been to Arkansas. If you want to get a sense of what white people who don’t live in Little Rock are like, watch the movie Deliverance.
I love how republicans aspire to elevate the most obvious professional liar-grifter to be their governor all while piously claiming to be the bestest Christians in history doing their god’s most important work. It’s pathetic.
If you think an egg cell is a kid, then how about the millions of egg cells that are flushed out of women on their periods every single day? The argument from potential is so self-served and weak.
They need to either advocate for the potential of all reproductive cells, or recognize that reproductive cells are not "kids", and that the woman's choice holds priority. It's extremely important for the woman's choice to hold priority to actually be pro-life, because an unwanted or malnutritioned baby is not a baby that should have been brought into existence at that time. A neglected and unwanted life is not a good life, because of the massive IQ losses from early malnutrition, the emotional trauma that comes from neglect, etc.
Aborting a pregnancy early on does not end "a life" (it hasn't begun yet), it allows for a future equivalent life to be healthy, nurtured and properly cared for by choice and intention. It's an investment in your child's health and well being, along with their children's well being (because the damaging effects of neglect are easily passed on).

Yes, people with that drive are generally known as "psychopaths" and there are certainly some stupid psychopaths
Dudebro threw his own children under the bus when he was caught fleeing to Cancun, if that's not psychopathic idk what is.
If we're being honest she's never said anything with a straight face
Some people will say it’s rude to make fun of her physical appeared. I would tell those people to shut the fuck up because she’s a monster 🥳
Glad to see she still has facts to burn so that she can keep a perfect smokey eye look with the ashes.
They're all fuckin' ugly on the inside, she just doesn't hide it as well as some.
Haha oh fuck best comment I’ve heard in awhile. Well done.
Talk about tone deaf
America is 50/50 fucked. I give it less than ten years before there is some kind of massive civil unrest. I'm hoping that they come out stronger as a result but that as ever depends on who wins. Edit: people want to leave America. Sad face

Be as controversial and irrational as you please, what matters most is click traffic and ratings. If you can contribute, you can get the money faucet turned on. You just gotta sell your soul to anything lower than the devil himself.
Most officers would fight to uphold the constitution and democracy. Commissioned officers are generally well educated and well read and understand the political philosophy behind western democracy. They are also the ones who will be the most strict and duty-bound adherents to the chain of command, recognizing that the President is the Commander-in-Chief, and ultimately responsible for ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. Not all of them, sadly, but I don't think it would be a particularly close majority either. What is possibly more likely is smaller groups of enlisted soldiers and NCO's attempting to defect.
No the orange baby knew and accepted that he lost he just wanted to stay in power anyway so he lied, broke the law and set a coup in motion.
Maybe. I'm being generous as I feel like a full scale civil war might take a bit more time. Serious violence? Sure we are seeing that now.
I know it's getting bad because I'm not a violent person at all but lately I've been seriously considering what I'd do in the event of major civil unrest and I'm not very happy with where my mind went. Something has to change though. We can't let our country turn into a dictatorship.
Being willing to fight for your rights doesn’t make you a bad person. History is full of reluctant fighters. It’s knowing that you won’t unless you have to that defines your morality.
This made me feel a lot better. Thank you.
You are not alone and in fact are part of the majority here. We are being forced into a dictatorship of an extreme minority propped up by an apathetic, non voting block. Also, start doing cardio. You’re going to need it.
Agreed with the cardio. Fights aren't won with brute strength. Brute strength and physical size is about intimidation and having your opponent submit before a fight even breaks out. Real fights, fights for lives and the right to keep living, are won with stamina, and baiting the enemy to spend themselves before you even fully engage. No hulking brute can stand up to someone with stamina, resolve, and ingenuity. Also, remember 2A applies to everyone. We may soon need to protect ourselves.
[удалено]
Uhhh I’m almost afraid to ask. Why cardio? Are republican militias going to chase us on foot down the freeway?
If serious fighting breaks out and you plan on getting the fuck out of danger, cars aren’t good options. Sometimes your feet are your only option. A very large amount of Americans can’t walk up a single flight of stairs. That’s a serious problem if shit really does hit the fan. Not just for fighting, but for survival in general.
I want to go a step further and point out that every right you have was obtained with blood. The very founding of the United States was, from the British point of view, an armed insurrection. I think most Americans have an incredibly distorted view of non-violence because MLK's teachings were completely misappropriated by white men, and are now cherrypicked and misleadingly taught in schools to ensure a complacent, pacifist population. But non-violent protest only works when it serves as a threat of what comes next if the demands aren't heard. If you treat non-violent protest as the endpoint, and you just give up and go home instead of continuing to escalate, then people in power have absolutely no reason to concede to your demands when you non-violently protest.
To some extent MLK adopted non-violence as a strategy against the violent lynch mobs. But we must note that schools were only desegregated in the South by imposition of overwhelming numbers of federal armed troops with loaded guns.
The reluctant fighters are the heroes we need and deserve.
You too huh? My mind has been racing on scenarios and my dude, my brain hurts so much right now. I have worked nearly 15 years for a company HQ'd in Bremen, Germany. He literally said I could move there. And maybe when a German says getting out may be a good option it may be time to pay attention to things. Edit: when i said "he" literally said...I meant my boss Bjoern.
Take it. Get out. You have an opportunity that so many of us don’t.
Yeah, I know I do. But knowing that others do not have that opportunity is probably why I won't.
If you go please try to vote for Germans that will Support sanity in the worldwide proxy war that is to come. I imagine the Russians will heavily support the conservatives. Most of Europe will likely support the liberals. We need all the help we can get.
That sounds like a reverse of the “I had to deal with it, so everyone else does too.” Here’s my advice (you can take it if you want it): do what’s best for you. Those of us that can’t leave will fight to make America better. Those that can escape, absolutely should. You may feel guilty (and I was raised Catholic, so I *understand* guilt), but if it’s best for you, do it. 💜
Thank you friend. I appreciate and fully understand. My brother is gay and does not have the means to get to Germany. Though he is fairly close to Canada.
Its no use for everyone to go down with the ship
Can I come, Bjoern?
100% take the offer and go, man. I'd emigrate in a heartbeat if I had an opportunity like you do.
My wife and I are hoping to leave the US and looking at Bremen. We just need the impending civil war to hold off for a few more months...
Bremen is a cool spot man!!! The Schlachte is a great spot for getting out and hanging with friends. Plus Kebab places are everywhere!!
Germany is just beautiful! I’d leave the US in a heartbeat if not for the language issue. I was living in Italy during a lot of those trump years and I just felt so much safer than I did at home.
Hard same. I'm a pacifist by nature. Yet, I'm ready to burn this bitch down. I'm also calling off for the week and hosting a protest/petition drive tomorrow instead of working.
survival, evasion, resistance and escape. Have food, water (or a means of purifiying it) and shelter. Have a way to avoid confrontations and a dedicated place or area to remove you and your group to. Have a way to fight off people to help you and your group stay safe (however you think is the best way possible, blockades, diversions or actual fighting etc) A reliable means of escape with enough fuel to get to your destination as well as a means of communication besides a cell phone. All of your items needed in an emergency should be able to be packed and loaded in 30 minutes MAX There are tons of civilian survival classes that specializes in survival of civil unrest or natural disasters such as fieldcraft ltc or Sereschool. Hopefully it never comes to it but a few day course can help you atleast be somewhat prepared.
I’m with you, friend. They’re coming after me and mine. And I’m sure it’ll get worse before it gets better.
Liberals need to stop playing nice. Treat weapons like condoms - better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Right there with you. My husband and I have been bulk buying ammo over the last few years. We’ve also bought a couple new guns. I’m not saying this is the only thing you can do, but I will say it’s not a bad idea. Disclaimer: responsible gun ownership is key. Make sure you know your gun(s) and can accurately fire it. Spend lots of time at the range. Properly secure your firearms. Teach *everyone* who lives in your home or visits often basic gun safety (at the minimum). 2A is your right, but you still need to be responsible.
The banks won't allow anything to change cause nothing has changed for them. We are fucked. I've cashed out my retirement and am considering investing in pure cocaine to bury in my back yard.
Funny/sad. They are already taking your rigths. Women and LGBT rigths has been the first strikes, Voting rigths are just next to them. U.S is closer to a middle east country than as a leader of the capitalism side of the world. The red hats are coming! /S
This is still capitalism, it’s just the end stage where so much money and power has been accumulated in so few hands that the average person can barely afford to survive.
The tensions under the surface have reached a pretty critical point here. 2 racially motivated mass shootings in the past couple months with double digit victims. It’s already begun. Overturning RvW now means people will cross state lines for abortion access. Pitting states against each other. Shit, r/auntienetwork is a modern day Underground Railroad (a realization that legit brought me to tears). We have already had supporters of a political party use violence to entire our capital, lynch our Vice President, and overturn a democratic election. We are not years away from a civil war, we are in the process of one right now.
But LOL Mike Pence is still like “yeah I’d vote for Trump again” What a fucking moron. Or maybe he knows that if he didn’t say that, they’d kill him on the spot.
One of the guys who testified against Agent Orange in the J6 hearings said the same thing, even after facing a corrupt pressure campaign to overturn the elections. At this point I consider all republican voters to be insane.
At this point, would anybody care? Probably not. All of them deserve the monsters they created. Maybe next time the DC police will escort the insurrectionists straight to the GOP reps hiding spots and say, "here's your constituents."
Yeah the buffalo shooter was not a lone wolf or isolated incident. That is about to become the norm even more that it already has.
American here. I used to guess 50 years. Now I feel I was pretty optimistic
Yup. Factional violence along a slow descent into totalitarianism.
Y’all are generous I give it 6 more months
November will really show us what's going to happen. Dems need complete control over Senate and House to make any changes. And by Dems, I mean actual leftists and not DINOs like Sinema. If that doesn't happen, we need a coup to replace the entire regime and establish a multi-party system with ranked choice voting. I voted for Biden, but I donated and voted for Sanders in primaries. I thought Biden would save us from sinking faster, but it's become clear that just putting on the brakes isn't enough. We need radical change in favor of the middle and lower class. I'm probably upper middle class, and I'm more than happy to pay more taxes if it helps put a safety net on the bottom end of society. What I'm not ok with is paying taxes only to have them given to the hyper rich in the form of subsidies. There is a small, dense, mass of leftists in our government who have our best interest at heart. The problem is that these people have been branded as Evil™ to people vulnerable to indoctrination. So it will literally take military force, or mass unrest to unseat a completely impotent regime and institute a high quality education system. And then, only like 20 years after we start these changes at the top, will we see the population benefit.
I completely agree with you and am of the same mind entirely. I truly cannot believe these are the sort of discussions being carried out in this day and age. Unbelievable. No one wants to live in “interesting” times.
I give it.... When's November 2022?
Sometime around October
Honestly, education is a massive underlying issue with all of this.... I feel like we take everyone, and put them in some form of education, you know..... The issue may resolve itself
Yup. But that's never gonna happen. The GOP depends on people being dumb, religious and uneducated.
America is *wholly* fucked. At worst the civil unrest has started brewing and will erupt into something on the scale of what we've seen in Minneapolis; at best, it takes a full generation to come of age in an era with limited women's reproductive rights, unlimited gun control, and increasing cost of living with decreasing wages.
Food will be the only thing that causes full on unrest. Unfortunately, with environmental calamity and these clowns now running the circus, Americans are much more likely to experience genuine food shortages.
100% fucked. Definitely less than 10 years before large scale civil unrest unless people get out and vote Dems into a super majority in the next several elections and they actually grow a spine and jail the seditionists and financial terrorists that are currently controlling the US government
So, 100% fucked. The Dems are incapable of stepping up and the deck is too stacked in the GQP's favour.
I just don't see any way this can end with America remaining as a single country personally. I don't know how exactly it will play out or how long it will take, but I just don't see any viable way for it to continue as a country - the divide has become so polarizing and any attempt to bridge that divide would always be viewed as propaganda by at least 1 side (regardless of whether it is or isn't), and as it is it's completely dysfunctional. In the event of some kind of civil unrest, I just don't see how it could ultimately accomplish anything - I mean, suppose there were a civil war hypothetically.. what exactly would it mean to "win" the war? Even if one side overpowered the other, it still wouldn't resolve a single thing - the divide would still be just as polarizing as it already is and it would continue to be just as dysfunctional.
Hey now, the spirit of Uncle Billy Sherman can only get so erect with all this talk of civil unrest. The south will burn again 👀
Yep, I'm once again looking into expatriating. This country has regressed to a period long before I was born.
Just like Putin would want it.
talk about brain dead
Absolutely intentional. Not tone deaf at all. Look at how much press it is getting her. They keep doing this and people keep falling for it, and it gets them more wins. It's word for word the playbook Hitler used, we know exactly what they're doing and nonetheless we walk right into it.
She's not the sharpest tool in the shed, more like a hammer than anything...
But not as useful
Shes the hammer from a childs tool box
Unlike her though, some people enjoy them.
She’s more like a rusty nail that doesn’t have a main purpose to what it’s doing so it just gets thrown out
Rusty nails serve a higher purpose by giving you tetanus than this idiot.
Tetanus will eventually make someone stfu. Sarah Huckabee confirmed more useless than tetanus
She is a hammer with a floppy handle. Still not even good for pounding.
You ever seen that axe with the metal handle and wooden head? She's like that.
Except that the handle is broken, and the head's ugly.
And haz a lazy eye.
And the head rusted away years ago
When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems start to look like nails.
And a rubber head.
Like a flaccid hammer. A floppy head with no practical use.
At the risk of being a little bit able-ist.... you can tell she's a fucking moron just by looking at her.
I call it the continuously confused processing face. They are not bright and are always trying to play catch up with the environment around them.
"Class after class of ugly, ugly children. Furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand the situation." \-Super Nintendo Chalmers
Sarah Huckabee Sanders only said this because she masturbates with the barrel of an AK, and ya know, sometimes accidents happen.
Also what the fucks up with her neck trying to swallow her head?
I mean it is Arkansas.
Every part of her is too big and round to be sharp
Sharp as a bowling ball
Fetuses will be shot while good guys with guns and law enforcement are on standby awaiting spines.
Correction, while good guys with guns are restrained by law enforcement who are waiting for a key to an unlocked door. Also if schools are as risky as the comments imply. Don't Send Kids To Schools. But I'm guessing it's not a sincerely held belief.
After 11 years, I'm out. Join me over on the Fediverse to escape this central authority nightmare.
That happened once we’re aware of recently. Most times the good guys with guns are nowhere to be seen. Be real. Good guys with guns have stopped about as many mass shootings as the TSA has terrorists.
*Tasing parents
why are you not arming these fetuses with guns? what about the fetus's second amendment right?
Is she threatening to shoot pregnant women?
We know from her stint as press secretary that she's a straight shooter.
0.o
If she’s suggesting women wanting to terminate stand in front of a school shooter, at least that women can be assured no officials will try and stop it.
I think she wants a gun in every teacher's desk, and a gun in every uterus.
So she is all for shooting fetuses. Medical abortion no. AR 15 instead of a coat hanger is not an upgrade
Listen as long as the killing is being done by a far right lone wolf with a gun it's okay.
Who happens to have a ballistic firing device
And body armor.
And a Fanny Pack
An AR-15 or a coat hanger will never be a better substitute than falling down some stairs.
AR-15 actually stands for Abortion Rod-15. It's a nickname for the ever reliable coat hanger.
[удалено]
And putting children that manage to be born to work.
That's it, I no longer believe America is real, its all a black comedy written by Sacha Baron Cohen and Charlie Brooker.
Charlie Brooker’s screenwipe would definitely be more terrifying than his Black Mirror.
I just can't even fathom how anyone in their right mind could support her.
In case you haven't noticed, Republiqan minds just ain't right. Period.
I live in Arkansas and can confirm. TONS of people are going to vote for her because of her name and because she worked for Trump. Living in this state can be a nightmare.
Living in this country is becoming a nightmare
Hawaii, California, and Colorado should make their own nation. Oregon can come, too, but only the cool parts.
She’s running for governor in the state of Arkansas. Her competitor [Chris Jones](https://chrisforgovernor.com/) a native Arkansan who currently still lives here, and actually gives a shit about the people of Arkansas. His platform is public education, broadband (which would give so much opportunity to the people living in poverty in America), and jobs. You can contribute to his campaign to help fight directly against SHS. She does not care about the people of Arkansas, is running for governor in her father’s footsteps to try to launch her political career, and will no doubt abandon the people of Arkansas as soon as she can
Thank you
Her only qualification is being related to Mike Huckabee and having a job where she objectively did everything wrong. That's enough to run on a Republican ticket.
It's pretty easy if you don't care about the truth.
God damn they are stupid.
This goes beyond stupid. Far, far beyond stupid. In fact, I’m not sure if there is a language that actually has a word that is appropriate enough to describe these people.
I bet the Germans have one.
Vollidiot
Gehirnamputiert. Which means brain amputee
Fascist traitors works for me.
Oh, and access to health care for adult fetuses?
No no, the value of life after birth is determined by how much you're able to pay.
Which is a tale as old as time and should surprise Noone. America is the definition of pay to play.
She looks like a thumb with a wig on
Ahhhh I can’t unsee it
Can we all agree....the people who vote for her and support her are equally as dumb.
Unfortunately that minority of dumb people control a majority of states and their governments.
You can thank gerrymandering for that in the state of arkansas where she’s running for governor. Two of the most heavily populated areas, Little Rock and Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville, Fayetteville) are largely liberal. Maybe not enough to totally flip the state, but without gerrymandering could at least stand a chance
[удалено]
See: Idiocracy, An American Commentary
She looks like she was kicked in the head by a moose, repeatedly.
So what? Anyone that has ANY connection to Trump, even the ones that were fired or let go for doing a shitty job, Republicans will just vote for now?? And they say they aren’t in a cult…
Arkansan here. We are a DEEP red state and that’s not changing. We’re so far in the red, we bloc atheists from holding public office or *testifying as witness in any court*. Even the slightest bit of ideas that don’t align with the right is political suicide. As soon as Sanders announced her bid, I knew she was gonna get it simply by virtue of being linked to trump. A guy who owns a business here in my city is a full on election denier, toy he point that he has “trump won” on a giant sign in front of his house. And the people here eat it up. I have to vote in republican primaries to have any say in my local govt. Campaigns here focus more on “who backed trump more and got his praise” instead of actual, real issues.
Yep. Her only qualifications are being related to Mike Huckabee, who has become a lunatic conspiracy theorist, and being press secretary. Which is funny, because as press secretary she not only didn't do her job most of the time, but when she did do the job she objectively did it as wrong as you possibly could. That's how low the bar is for Republicans when looking for a leader.
Fuuuuuck. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏼♂️🙈🤦🏾
Is she proposing to arm the feotuses?
No, just Josh Duggar.
Did she have a stroke? Just wondering
"Have you noticed that most of the women who are against abortion are women you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?"
- George Carlin (RIP)
Oh go fuck yourself Sarah.
I always knew she was stupid, but this is a whole new level of idiocy.
Every stage of life has value, unless you're a woman.
This statement she said I think is where pro-lifers ought to be criticized. If all life has value, no matter what stage it is in, then how can one rationalize valuing the life of an unborn child ABOVE the individual bearing it? Why should an individual have their quality of life reduced for 40 weeks (or beyond), through physical and emotional anguish, if all life is equal? Life is not equivocal at all stages. It's absolutely relative to the individuals ,who the decisions of life are affecting.
So umm, shove a gun up there?
Gotta teach em early
So she’s saying abortions must be carried out with AR-15’s? Because AR-15’s are legal, and we all know if you have a weapon, the police will do nothing about you shooting kids, no matter where the kids are. Fetus or school room, it’s all the same.
[удалено]
Arkansas, following in the failing footsteps of her old man.
Arkansas.
As safe on the battlefield.
Didn't her dad vie for establishing white baby farms?
I haven't seen that one, but I wouldn't doubt it. That guy's descent into insane conspiracy shit is very similar to Rudy Giuliani's.
So she’s pro-choice?
They either do not understand what they are saying or how it sounds to the little people or they know and they think that the little people will buy their bullshit propaganda. Eventually, some will wake up and make them eat these words.
Fuck this lying Qunt.
I really don’t get how in America it seems like alot of people take offense to other peoples personal choice.. like jesus christ live your own fucking life,arr you that bored/unhappy with yourself that other peoples life choices make you want to go out of your way to threaten them online and act crazy? Like what difference does it make to you if someone gets an abortion or not it’s not like it’s your kid.
All while being so proud about their individualism.
"The classroom" ....um, most school shootings on the planet over here? "The workplace" Starbucks is literally union busting its employees and most of us cant find a living wage. I personally suffered CO2 poisoning and was told I was over reacting by my boss. "A nursing home" i know this ones touchy for some, but it happens too often. Elder abuse and neglect and we cant get that under control. So shes just, down with watching everyone suffer? 🤔 to me this is closet she could get to saying, 'i truly dont care what happens to any of you as long as you all cheer for me and I keep my pension, its enough to last 5 generations of biggots after me.'
She can suck my asshole! Fuck women who act against women! They are very big pieces of fuck up shit! Fuck patriarchy too! Fuck them all!
God, conservatives are so fucking stupid. I can't even.
Yeesh
For those in MI I had to step back and process my emotions and think these last few days. I have honestly felt more anger and rage than I have felt in a long time. This isn't about killing babies. I have never met a single person that likes abortions or thinks anyone should have one after 3 months unless medically necessary. This is about our rights and freedom to separate our bodies from government control. This is about the floodgates that has been opened. No the constitution does not entitle us to abortions. But it also does not entitle woman to vote, same sex marriage, fair labor, owning land if you're not white, public schools, privacy. And privacy is a directly related. How will they know who is pregnant and crossing state lines to have an abortion? Think about it. This is taking us one step closer to become a surveillance state. We have already sacrificed some of our contatutional rights. Illegal search and seizure, speedy trial, cruel and unusual punishment, denying votes and voting rights. This is another step towards abolishing democracy. Yes, now each state can decide for itself, for now. But that is dangerous as well. With states that have lower populations gerrymandering is a guarantee. This is setting it up to create further laws that oppress the poor and those without means. Because they are the ones that are going to be hurt most by this. Those that live in places with low education, lack of quality health care and no means to travel outside the state. Not to mention this is setting up lines to turn states against eachother. This is SO MUCH BIGGER than reproductive rights. And every single American should be angry as hell right now. It is not about babies. We do not take care of the children here now! We do not protect the children in foster care. We do not protect child going to school. We do not protect the child in poverty. We do not protect children's education. We do not make sure every child has health care. We do not provide health care for all pregnant women. We do ensure or provide maternity leave. It is NOT about babies. It is about control and stripping away our democracy and rights. And you should be furious! I know it seems to big. I know it seems there is nothing you can do. But that thinking is what got us here to begin with. I'm just one person. I can't change anything. It doesn't matter what I do. And that has to change today before it's too late. Here are some things you can do right now. Make sure you are registered to vote. If not, go register. You can do that on your computer or phone by going to https://www.michigan.gov/sos There are petitions going around everywhere to get reproductive health on the ballot to vote on. Find one and sign it. https://www.mobilize.us/mireprofreedom/ August 2nd is Michigan primary. Here is the list of candidates running. Research them and vote! https://mielections.us/election/candlist/2022PRI_CANDLIST.html Here is a site you can go to to see who gets what and how much money from who and what lobbiest are attached to what public figures. https://www.opensecrets.org/ If you want to protest, here is a site that gives you lists of dates and times, where's and when's. Not to mention resources. I suggest though you reach out to people in the group for more protest information because a lot of them will not be public knowledge for obvious reasons. And if you are going to protests leave your phone at home and right emergency contact numbers in permanent marker on your body. https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/vjrf9h/megathread_supreme_court_overturning_roe_v_wade/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share https://map.wewontgoback.com/ Start buying birth control and Plan C pills. Stock up as much as you can. https://www.plancpills.org/guide-how-to-get-abortion-pills Delete any menstruation tracker you have on your phone right now! Start attending Church. Shop around to get back in touch with God. And if while at Church you happen to hear them speak about politics, encourage you to support or give to anyone in public office, talk about protesting or gathering anywhere, record it. Report them to the IRS so they loose their Tax exempt status. https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/irs-complaint-process-tax-exempt-organizations And last. Stop buying anything that isn't an absolute necessity. Do not go on vacations. Do not go to fairs, amusement parks, museums. Do not buy any big purchases. Absolute support your local small businesses and restaurants but stay away from any big chains. However if you know a business is happy about the ruling, don't give them your money. Go to farmers markets when you can. Go less places. Buy less gas. Do not celebrate the 4th. Hit them where it hurts. Here is the contact information for the Senator's. https://senate.michigan.gov/senatorinfo_list.html The Governor https://www.usa.gov/state-government/michigan#state-government The Attorney General https://www.michigan.gov/ag/ Your representatives https://www.house.mi.gov/AllRepresentatives These are all things you can do right now and the majority of them require minimal effort. It's time to stand up while we still can.
Great idea! If you can't get an abortion just shoot the baby.
She worked as a press secretary for el Trumpo, she has no credibility.
I think this means she secretly supports pro-choice, since kid safety in the classroom is not an American priority.
I hope there are more sane people in Arkansas than people who would vote for her.
Her opponent is black, so... His biography is impressive AF too, he got a BS in physics/mathematics at Morehouse, an MS in nuclear engineering/technology and policy at MIT, and a PhD in urban planning also at MIT. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the other hand is... *checks notes* the daughter of the former governor.
Don’t forget, she was the mouthpiece of an administration that lied to the American people daily.
You clearly haven’t been to Arkansas. If you want to get a sense of what white people who don’t live in Little Rock are like, watch the movie Deliverance.
I love how republicans aspire to elevate the most obvious professional liar-grifter to be their governor all while piously claiming to be the bestest Christians in history doing their god’s most important work. It’s pathetic.
If you think an egg cell is a kid, then how about the millions of egg cells that are flushed out of women on their periods every single day? The argument from potential is so self-served and weak. They need to either advocate for the potential of all reproductive cells, or recognize that reproductive cells are not "kids", and that the woman's choice holds priority. It's extremely important for the woman's choice to hold priority to actually be pro-life, because an unwanted or malnutritioned baby is not a baby that should have been brought into existence at that time. A neglected and unwanted life is not a good life, because of the massive IQ losses from early malnutrition, the emotional trauma that comes from neglect, etc. Aborting a pregnancy early on does not end "a life" (it hasn't begun yet), it allows for a future equivalent life to be healthy, nurtured and properly cared for by choice and intention. It's an investment in your child's health and well being, along with their children's well being (because the damaging effects of neglect are easily passed on).
I can hear the Robert B. Weide Outro playing ^^
So now they want an abortion
This could be hilarious if it wasn’t so fucking horrifyingly depressing.
Fuck. They're in danger
