the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
That sounds a lot like a rapist threatening his victim to "just be quiet and take it".
That’s some Emperor Palpatine shit
It's especially obvious in that the sentence could have just stopped at "will remain bloodless". We'll win through ideas and voting and law is enough of a statement. If someone else introduces violence then it's of course not bloodless. "My political movement will be bloodless unless someone commits violence against us" isn't a thing you need to say. The threat to violence is only meaningful if the right is initiating violence.
He does have rape-face.
But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
When they're saying this about Joe Biden and mainstream pro-corporate media like MSNBC...
It's really hard to take people seriously when they say AOC is too extreme to be president.
They'll always say moderate Dems are far left radicals, they can't say it anymore about AOC. The main difference is moderates try to argue that they're actually conservative which pisses off Dem voters. And progressives like AOC use it as an opportunity to talk about why the policy works, which grows the Dem voters base.
We can't keep meeting them halfway.
We need to 100% fight fascism, and we need to keep fighting. Because the fascists never stop.
I’m guessing you don’t live in a city. My opinions are to the left of most of my Democratic friends. The amount of times I’ve defended Biden’s tuition reimbursement against “I had to pay, so why don’t they?” claims is bonkers. Yes, you paid against a subsidized or 2% fixed-rate simple interest loan, not a predatory 5%+ variable-rate compound…
She'll be 35 by November.
which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be
Uh huh. 🙄
Just like the invasion of Ukraine would have remained bloodless if Ukraine allowed it to be... i.e. victim blaming.
They're using the same language as rapists, thieves, murderers, and cops.
If I hurt or kill you because you chose not to comply, its your fault, not mine. You forced my hand. You could have just let me have my way, but no, you had to resist.
- and cops
And the left will allow it to be. Liberals will meekly go onto the trains while screaming about the hypocrisy and injustice. And meanwhile, the trains will run.
Wonder why minorities, LGBT and women are the largest gun purchasing demographic, and have been for a few years? You suburban white boys better pull your head out your ass and learn.
Georgian heritage. The redcoats are back in force and need to be driven out again.
~~redcoats~~ redhats
~~Just so I’m clear, are you referring to the red hat as in one of the 6 thinking hats? The one about using emotion and intuition?~~
Edit: 🤦♂️
He’s almost certainly referring to the red hats commonly worn by American fascists to signify their allegiance to the traitor
~~Oh ok. I tried searching it, but you can thank modern day SEO for only showing me shit from Red Hat, Inc (the Linux vendor).~~
Edit: Ok, I’m super stupid. MAGA red hats. 🤦♂️ I need a drink.
Haha happens to us all
"I see a red hat... I'll kill the man wearing it!"
Yankees fans, smh
And the most damning thing again will be: Trump will have control over the nuclear football again.
Maybe he thinks it looks like an actual football. Someone just hands one to him and says, "Now don't you drop it."
Who would ever fall for that!?
You're kidding, right? At this point, that's almost the least of our worries.
Yet he can’t own a firearm.
He mispronounced Second Civil War.
It's already blooded, it's just that the left has no teeth. It's all performative "who has it worse" olympics
Can I file a police report and another with the FBI? He is threatening me and my family. Can't we all? I'm not looking for a "meh cops won't do nothing" response. Legally, can we do that?
Funny how these orgs drive public discourse and narrative on both sides.
Then we sit here and argue over it.
They have to keep us distracted while the rich bleed us dry
And once we're dry, they'll find someone else to fleece. Most likely when we ourselves can't afford the stuff they're forcing us to make. At that point the US will fully shift to an export economy based on slave labor that ships goods and products to nations with growing middle classes that can afford them, like China.
Ehh they are just more likely to replace us with population that is more willing to "work"
Current "indigenous" Americans appear to forget what the federal government did to the old ones
Why do that when they can just declare us all in violation of some obscure law and make prisoners of us all? The 13th Amendment has a loophole that allows slavery as a punishment for a crime.
They are already doing with people who "opt out" aka the homeless...
Crime too low, prisons need a pipeline
Just let the fascists take over and we won't kill you during the revolution
