    Of course. It was a given that that was what they were going to do, because they’re entirely corrupt and compromised, entirely without integrity, principles, honor or legitimacy and driven solely by a determination to serve the interests of Trump and the oligarchs.

          Unfortunately, not paying taxes isn’t really an option. If there’s one thing the government enjoys doing and does well is collect taxes, regardless of how failed that government is. The broken government is more likely to be extra shitty on the penalty though, unless you’re rich of course, in which case you don’t have to pay taxes.

      I’m constantly questioning my sanity because everyone pretends the Untied States is still a functional, stable country. I know Canadians still choosing to live part time in the Untied States. Are they that unaware? Do they just not care? Even if they don’t care about other people, they should be questioning their own safety as non-citizens in Trump’s America

    Fascinating stuff! It’s like russia with extra steps and a gigantic amount of comical ostentatious posturing about freedoms and liberty.

    Americans do love their theatrics!

      Its a hard thing to come to terms with. Families are split in two. To take up arms means we are doing it against our own family members. In my case it would be my father and brother.

        Your father and brother are Nazis.

        If they aren’t afraid of you, you’re a coward or you’re complicit. There isn’t any grey area with fascism.

              Yep those are the only options.

              Prove yourself an enemy or sit idle.

              A profound lack of nuance.

              Sowing community and peeling undecideds, Sabotaging, undermining, informing, rearing confusion and exploiting divisions that exist within the power structure, encouraging idleness in the enemy even.

              The enemies of fascism and ways to resist it are myriad. And yet you can only imagine a sword to meet a sword.

              And frankly; there’s no faster road to that gulag. Or more likely an abrupt meaningless death that accomplishes nothing.

              Rage and cast aspersions from your safe nest, blame anyone who hasn’t given up on everyone that’s on the other side. Reduce the work of ages to a simple numbers game. Throw away every weapon that seems too complex or involved, deny all clemency and revoke the rights of others to offer it.

              Surely that’s what we need. Another great war will kill the demon.

    We should start calling it Robertsmander rather than Gerrymander from now on. If having no shame while he’s living has no effect, then the best he deserves is his name being tarnished and synonymous with corruption for hundreds of years.
