    Chip Roy is Ted Cruz’s sycophant to be clear about the hierarchy of maga stupidity. His ignorant bigoted white supremacist hated overflows but some highlights are wanting to kill the COVID vaccine to let waiting for a natural herd immunity kill tens of millions of Americans and blamed COVID deaths on immigrants.

    Its hard to refute the origins of socialism and communism in biblical teachings:

    James 5:1

    Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

    The republicans seem emboldened to piss on the constitution.

    Calling him a socialist is ridiculous. In the rest of the world we would call him slightly left of center.

    He is not taking control over private property. Although I would be all for that tbh.

      Most Americans equate socialism with communism.

      “Whose gonna pay for it” which oddly enough they are currently asking right now. Fuckin weird right?

        and democratic socialism with communism

        and social democracy with communism

        and liberalism with communism

        maybe years of red scare propaganda and complete lack of education didn’t really help them develop good political sense.

      That’s the neat part, the definition is whatever is most convenient for them in any given moment. They’ll define the most milquetoast liberal as a socialist if they get in their way.

    Am I late for advocating for socialism and/or communism?

    I want to go left, is what I’m trying to get across, here. We can decide who’s direction left after we’re done going right.

    Flagrant display of a disregard or lack of knowledge of the basic rules and laws that define our government operation like this should carry the penalty of immediate suspension and removal. If you’re going to propose something this obviously petty and stupid, you shouldn’t be in a position of power.

    Also, they need to stop using “deport.” The correct term is “exile.” Deportation refers to a foreigner being expelled from a country. Exile is the removal of a citizen from their home country. See also: Napoleon

      I’ve been saying it for a while. We can put them on their own little piece of land, reserved just for them, with it’s own laws and customs. Someplace out of the way - it doesn’t need to be nice or anything.

      Then add we start fixing things we can finally compensate all the American people that have been fucked over the centuries - First Nations, African Americans, Japanese, Hispanics, everyone else poor…

    you know if these fuckers existed prior to 1776 they’d want to “deport” the founding fathers. Hell if Jesus came back today they’d deport him too.
