    The Democrats were voted out of power. Stupid Americans. You voted for this shit. You gotta live with it.

      It’s like there isn’t enough understanding how fucking stupid of a move this was. It was the worst possible scenario.

      Think about yelling at a couple of white chess pieces left in the board “GET ANGRY! Fight!” when the full black set is there minus a couple of pawns.

      I’m not saying don’t but you don’t have much to actually do anything with. Protesting and civil disobedience I would think a lot the best options and it doesn’t seem like people have an appetite for those at scale.

        The issues are that 1.) It never seems to accomplish much beyond getting some poor protesters killed by inept cops that never got training on how to use beanbag or rubber rounds, and 2.) The US is a BIG place. We can’t all just take a day off in the middle of the week to fly across the country. We’re broke and tired, trying to make rent, not waste a few hundred precious dollars to potentially get killed for saying the wrong thing.

        Now I get it, this is absolutely the time to be protesting. Now more than ever. But man, I’m tired. I’m broke. I’m lucky to have enough gas to make it to work. I can’t pick up and go to DC whenever.

      And he took his part by spouting russian propaganda and bashing democrats relentlessy during the election cycle.

      Trump wants a “civil war”, and he’s helping.
