Victims of the opioid crisis, the "world's greatest healthcare system", white nationalist terrorists

spree shooters, and of police corruption and brutality...

Where was your "this is a revolution!" then?
Where was your drive to storm buildings then?
Where were your "second amendment solutions" then?
Where was your willingness to die then?

Oh sure, you were there to say "Yeah!" when the question was should your uninsured fellow Americans die and they can't afford treatment. Oh, how so brave of you!

You were there to giggle, like, and retweet when that piece of work Laura Loomer hoped there would be more dead refugee children or when she said her Twitter account was a more pressing concern than the victims of the Christchurch Massacre. I'm in the ballpark with that one, right?

And you went out of your way to make it known that you believed there was "nothing that can be done" or it's "too soon to talk about change" after Nikolas Cruz, Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, Jason Dalton, Robert Gregory Bowers, Patrick Crusius went on spree shootings and terrorist attacks. Correction: You were there to be outraged at the March for Our Lives movement, you were sure to be angry at the students upset over school and mass shootings. You loved to spread the conspiracy theories and join in the demonizing.

You shrugged your shoulders when Purdue Pharma flooded your towns with opioids. You said "not my problem" when a refugee needed help. You were there to say "Actually, all lives matter" when someone said "black lives matter" and then magically disappear when faced with an opportunity to turn "all lives matter" into an action other than being contrarian to black Americans.

You've abandoned your fellow people, your fellow Americans, your friends, your neighbors, your brothers and sisters, and your own children. But this bankrupt reality TV star deserves your time, money, and even your blood? What a sick joke.

And for what? Four more years of "I don't take responsibility at all"? Four more years of dog whistles? Four more years of passing the buck? Four more years of "The Dow is at a record high, give me credit" alternating with "The Dow took a hit, must be Obama's fault"? Four more years of seeing that je-globalist known as George Soros behind every single thing you don't like? Four more years of being terrified of transgender people, "antifa", and the people who have the gall to say "black lives matter"?

Just know this: We will never forget this. The next time you shrug your shoulders or say "not my problem", we will remember what you were doing at this point in time right now. We will never give you the opportunity to abandon anyone else ever again.

"Stop the steal"? What exactly is being stolen?

Because you know, as we've been told repeatedly over the past year, the president doesn't seem to do anything really...

It's someone else's fault for COVID.
It's someone else's fault for government shutdowns.
It's someone else's fault for the riots.
It's Obama's fault for... everything.

And what is the value of the thing supposedly being stolen? It's not exactly the Hope Diamond being swiped here: An office propped up by Putinists, white nationalists, and the people outraged, not by school shootings, but by the students outraged that school shootings are happening. And an office very few people, including the current president himself, have very little to no respect for.

So to sum it up; there was a massive conspiracy involving George Soros, Dominion Voting Systems, millions of Democratic voters, the media, judges who litigated against Trump, the deep state, the governments of Venezuela and China, antifa (Because why not), the electors of the electoral college, and probably countless others I am forgetting about to steal the one political office that according to supporters of the current president is the most toothless and powerless office in the land, the one office that has consistently passed the buck to someone else over the pressing issues of the day.

Is it "stealing"? Or are we just taking the unfair burden from Trump and his supporters?

Trump and his supporters were wailing over the past year about taking no responsibility at all.

To them, I think we should say:

Come, we will lift your heavy office off of your heads. You need to worry about this powerless office that has someone else REALLY be responsible for the things Trump does or does not do any longer. We are relieving you of this toothless monstrosity.

More than just Trump: The sobering reality is that a president can indeed lose reelection

I posted this less than a week before the election:

I think what we are seeing going on today is the flip side of what I originally posted: People saw a president get the pink slip and it's like looking at a brand new color or a new dimension of existence.

We have misinformation masquerading as news, we have our perceptions of information and time warped by a great deal of things, we have people who think eras they never lived in were the greatest ever, and more.

I honestly think we need "de-POTUSification"...

I know President Biden will have this agenda in mind in word and deed, but maybe it needs to be something we can ALL get behind and advocate:
* The potus is first and foremost a public servant, not the CEO of the country, not the Pope of America
* There is no "divine right of presidents", and no, the potus is not the heir to God and/or Jesus
* That second election is not a rubberstamp, any potus can indeed lose that election and be evicted from the White House
* On that note, nobody is entitled to becoming the potus. It does not matter what your political connections are, how much money you have, what religion you have, how not-"socialist" you are, the color of your skin, what historical era you can pretend to recreate, etc.
* The potus is ultimately co-equal with the other branches of power, with special powers granted to the potus, like in foreign policy being more for responsibility rather than privilege
* If you're not going to wage "civil war" when the factories shut down and move overseas or when Purdue Pharma floods your town with opioids, then don't plan on waging it when your person loses reelection

Our country as a whole wandered into dangerous territory with this whole giving the potus a cult of personality, now we must strive to undo the damage or else we will have someone try to out-Trump Trump in 2024 and beyond and we will jump right into becoming some totalitarian theocracy or fascist state.

You know what? If the Trump Administration couldn't pre-emptively expose and prosecute a conspiracy

That involved 81 million Biden voters, secretaries of state from various states (Including a couple from Trump's own party), Dominion Voting Systems (Show of hands - Who even knew that was a thing before the election? Trump's people REALLY dropped the ball on that one), pretty much all of the media, all the judges ruling against the Trump campaign, the government of Venezuela and possibly Hugo Chavez himself (don't ask), China, George Soros (of course), and antifa (Not even sure what they did, but you know it was nefarious); then maybe they deserve to be kicked out of power just because of how oblivious and, well, stupid they are.

It needs to be said. If the Trump administration's system of governing when it came to election security and failing to even notice a massive conspiracy before the election that at this point is pretty much everybody BUT Trump and his administration, then I'm pretty sure the systems this administration created when it comes to physical security would not be able to spot a crack team of about a dozen ISIS or Atomwaffen Division operatives who aim to blow up a power plant.

Let's not kid ourselves, these people would have never accepted Trump not being able to run in 2024

White supremacists plotted to attack power stations in the southeastern US in the case of Donald Trump losing the re-election, according to an FBI affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed last week.

It also reveals information about a teenager in Ohio who shared the plan for the attack and said he wanted a text group he was a part of to be operational on a fast-tracked timeline, the Associated Press reported.

According to the affidavit, the boy was in the group with more than a dozen people when, in 2019, he introduced the idea of saving money to buy a ranch where they could participate in militant training.

The teenager, who was 17 at that time, also wanted his group to be "operational" by the 2024 election but the timeline for that “would accelerate if President Trump lost the 2020 election," said the affidavit which was filed in Wisconsin's eastern US district court in March earlier this year and was sealed again once the mistake was realised.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-supremacists-were-plotting-attack-093655731.html

Can you imagine the calls of "civil war", the storming of capitol buildings, the kidnapping plots, the hassling of people who say "black lives matter", but add 4 years of planning, making connections, casing buildings, stalking people, absorbing propaganda on dehumanizing and making it OK to murder people, collecting weapons, target practice, making bombs, etc.?

I am convinced that Donald Trump's LOSS has saved a lot of people from future Dylann Roofs, Jim David Adkissons, Brenton Tarrants, Nikolas Cruzes, Timothy McVeighs, James Alex Fieldses, and other degenerates like them.

The difference between Democrats vs Republicans is as clear as Day vs Night now

Anyone saying "Both parties are the same" is just a troll at this point.

Case in point: Defund the police

I am FOR saying it. I think that has to be the way to open up real reform that is not just slapping a bandaid on it and telling people to shut up and move on.

But I know there are those who are against the idea, against it even being said.

But there is dialogue, there is a 'conflict' that may very well be necessary.

Now look at the flip side of that: Let's have martial law / Let's redo or overturn the election / The whole "Nice country you got there, be a real shame if a 'civil war' happened to it" AKA "Give us what we want or we commit acts of right-terrorism" mindset.

Where are the moderate conservatives? Where are the moderate Trump supporters?

Notice how there is no dialogue, no debate:
* There is no fear that it would turn potential voters off
* There is no fear of unintended consequences
* There is no fear it could come back and bite them in the rear

This is not a position of strength, it shows how they are increasingly becoming "machine men with machine minds and machine hearts", that they will jump to the idea that most "owns the libs" no matter how much it could harm them in the long run.

And if you're a leftwing Democrat, if you're in the center to center-left, if you're a conservative Democrat for that matter; then take a moment and appreciate your counterparts. They are a major part of what keeps our democracy alive.

Honestly, potus *NEEDS* to lose reelection, said potus being Trump is just icing on the cake

I've been a member of this forum since 2004, so I'm not exactly a baby chicken around here. But take this into consideration: I have a sister born into a generation where they never once witnessed a president lose the reelection.

I think, that for some people that second election may seem symbolic rather than have real consequences. I think that when (I'm going to go ahead and say when) Trump loses the election, the American people in general, and young people in particular will say: Whoa! We actually have power to influence the political landscape!

And it will be a much-needed thing!

I also think we give the Executive Branch way too much power, far beyond the power granted in the Constitution. The president isn't supposed to be the pope or the CEO of America, not supposed to be some messianic figure, they're not supposed to be our equivalent of a king (*Still eye-rolling at Alan Dershowitz for the 'pearl of wisdom'*), they're supposed to essentially be the head of the Executive Branch and have co-equal power with the Legislative Branch.

I think the Executive Branch as a collective and abstract entity needs a reality check.

And I'm going to keep saying this. I hope Biden wins, promotes an agenda that benefits all Americans and also promotes a liberal, Democratic agenda that he was voted in for and I will not complain if Democrats in the House and the Senate ranging from Pelosi to the Squad hold his feet to the fire on certain things if they need to.

If called for jury duty ("Real world" jury duty), then make every effort to serve

Our court system's judicial independence has been tainted by the Republican Party and hard right ideology.

Fortunately, we have a tool available to us.

If called for jury duty, then serve. Don't get dismissed.

So if ACB undoes Roe v Wade or Lawrence v Texas, then we can say we will NEVER vote to convict a woman seeking or has obtained an abortion, an abortion provider, or a gay person in a consensual relationship.

The Executive Branch all the way down to local police departments DO have a hand in all this

They are direct and indirect instigators of violence and let it happen.

This is what happens when you have a government that handles white nationalist terrorists with kid gloves. We see a segment of the population rationalized away as "playful scamps". It's not subtle, not subtle at all, I think every other group with ideas for violence can look at this say "Why not us too? Can we get the government to handle US with kid gloves?"

This is what happens you "other" violent people instead of telling people to look in the mirror. When people are "mentally ill" you don't have to change anything about society, it's "just a disaffected individual". When a "terrorist" is some scary Muslim instead of Billy "the 'misunderstood kid' from down the street", you don't have to change anything about your neighborhood or how you see the world, esp. with people who look just like you. The government has created a culture that pretty much says "I'm not violent because I'm not the other, I'm not mentally ill!" and "My actions can't be terrorism, I'm not a Muslim, I'm not some foreigner!"

This is what happens when you take white shooters out to get Burger King.

This is what happens everything is a "war on something"... "war on terror", "war on drugs", "culture wars", "clash of civilizations", hey, if you say "Happy Holidays", then you are waging a "war on Christmas". We have over-militarized our culture and anyone else is the enemy for anyone at any time.

This is what happens when you don't have good education and public mental health. There has been a socially constructed world of frightening binaries and polar opposites created because our culture abhors nuance and deliberation. Someone can't even say "Black Lives Matter" without being told "Well actually, all lives matter". Your Patriot Prayer groups, your Back the Blue groups, they wouldn't exist without protesters. They need an enemy, they got it.

This is what happens you see violence as a force of cleansing, as some sort of "return to innocence". The "coming storm" that will wipe away all the "Satanic Cabal members". Looting as the "transition to freedom" according to Donald Rumsfeld.

This is what happens when you rely on "out of sight, out of mind" and "running out the clock" as ways of dealing with issues. We've got a potus who was elected by people who hope the rapture will be their ticket out of any problems they create. Going on down, we've got the blue wall of silence that blocks discussion of police brutality and corruption. Things aren't subtle, things aren't hidden anymore. We all know that the first thing the government from top to bottom wants is not to "end or reduce police brutality and systemic racism" but to "end or reduce *DISCUSSION OF* police brutality and systemic racism"

Every broken window, every smashed business, it has the government's fingerprints all over them.
