Moms for Liberty meet their match: Actual moms and parents.
Who support actual liberty (as opposed to fascism).
More power to those parents. Fighting the good fight. Fuck "Moms for Facism".
We all need to devote more time to finding and voting against these groups in our local elections. especially in towns like this that seem to have a majority of rational parents.
Moms for Liberty is a fascist group. It's the Nazi Youth for suburban Karens, basically.
The alt-right are a cancer on the nation.
It was neither “rally” nor “riot.” It was a planned insurrection and you can bet the farm if it was blm or antifa doing it, we’d be witnessing public executions for it.
This makes it feel even more bleak. Where is all this money coming from?! Who is funding this and how?
The same fucks as always. Peter Theil, the Kochs, the Davos', pick your billionaire. They didn't become billionaires by being awesome people and y'know, bringing everyone up with them. More like, when their tide was rising, they paid goons to short leash the marina to the docks (which would sink them if the tide rose high enough).
Who's the squeaky wheel, who pays them and who stands to benefit.
Its always the rich behind fascists, because 1. They don't want the system they're so capable of gaming to change (unless it cements their position) and B. They are assuming they'll be above reproach if the fascists win.
Make no mistake, every billionaire alive would sell us all, and our children, out rather than become a $900 millionaire.
Davos is a city where the WEF meets, not a family of billionaires.
Yr right. I meant DeVos.
That makes more sense.
Because people having tens of millions of dollars in assets is a societal failure. Let alone people having hundreds of Millions, or billions, or trillions. You don't get to be a person that wealthy by being a good person. It requires deception theft and oppression. And it only gets exponentially worse. Because these bad people have outsized pools of resources to further damage society.
Until we as a society place reasonable limits on personal wealth and assets this will get worse.

Because why feed the poor with little ROI when you can astroturf education initiatives to increase indoctrination for $$$ in future donations?
local parents drowned out by AstroTurf-ed organized opposition.
Before the meeting, people exchanged wisecracks about “talented clappers” — an inside-joke reference to an email circulated among local conservatives that appealed for sympathetic outsiders to turn out and applaud the right-wing agenda: “You do not need to be a resident to attend and clap,” it advised, for “policies that bless and protect our children.”
Is this a form of paid protestors?
