Made worse when again when they elected a sociopath who wants to be America's Putin.

(2,195 posts)dictate in favor of the Independent State Legislature doctrine which overturns the control of all three branches of government from Ds to Rs despite the fact that nationally 60% or more of the Electorate (The People) voted, or wanted to vote, for Ds and some D State(s) refuse to accept the resultant Federal Government's end of States Rights that do not conform to those of the R States.

(10,830 posts)The shots and wounds continue with every personal right stripped, vote suppressed and/or held suspect and every mind-numbing excuse for not protecting our people from the worship of the gun, worship of grifters and charlatans, worship of unfettered, out-of-control capitalism and . . .
The existential list goes on.
As does the war for the soul of America. Hyperbole?
Not really.

Right now, they aren't using ammo to destroy us. They found the weakness of the U.S. Constitution-a sense of honor. They have none, and will keep assaulting our nation because they have no decency, either.

(46,166 posts)Not kidding. The first thing I thought when I saw the video was that our side is protecting itself by firing the first "shots" on the aggressor even though it was just blasts of pepper spray. I'm glad you asked.
I suppose we could go back to The Weathermen Underground. After all, we've even been fighting this battle since the 18th century, no?
(Btw, I just put an eggplant parm in the oven. Got a fork and a plane ticket? Or I could Fedex some to you in a rubber envelope.) Love you lots. -e
