So, uh...we going to plan protests yet, or...
When does all this become too much for the left? Cause I gotta say: We are being VERY lenient so far. We basically look at the Republicans and go "Okay, act like babies. We'll just rise above it." and gotta say: It isn't working.
I'm pretty hard against Trump and the Republican Party. I support Progressive policies and laws regardless of where they come from. What really irks me is how damned unresponsive people on the Left are. I feel like all we do is talk about what-if's and what-could-be's. Hell, part of me was surprised Gaza caused any protest at all with how damned passive everyone over here so often is in comparison to the raving lunatics over on the Right. It's appalling and frustrating.
The moment leftists actually protest, right wingers and centrists (Biden) will happily send in the military to give em the Black Panthers treatment
Meanwhile right wingers are allowed to do whatever they want, up to and including Jan 6th
Meanwhile Georgia is in the process of passing a law to label outside organizations as foreign agents and they had immediate protests. We're having our justice and political system blatantly turned toward service of a minority political faction lead by a fascist criminal and we think it would be inappropriate to demand they act differently.
