The British: Voting for populist BRITISH politicians who took us out of the EU has ruined the economy and our access to the free market.
The Dutch: Okay… well… let's instead vote for a populist DUTCH politician who wants to take us out of the EU, ruin the economy and our access to the free market!
A lot of people on the political left are angry or dismayed with Joe Biden, but they need to keep in mind that on almost any issue Trump's position is far worse than Biden's.
You don't have to like Biden, but he is at least willing to have a conversation. Trump will not only refuse it, he will arrest you for asking.
@mattsheffield You’re really going to whitewash LBJ as a way of making Biden look good? I think what I hate the most about democrats is that they ride the legacy of their success while doing their best to bury their past. Let us be reminded that the democrats didn’t “give” the people civil rights. They were in fact some of the most unrelenting opponents to equality and desegregation, and what they did manage to get came at great cost to those who fought for them.
When the bar turns into a nazi bar run by a guy that loves to talk shop with nazis, you walk out. You don't keep going because you have to hit all the bars.
At some point you either take a stand or you are part of the problem.
Imagine Cameron having to meet all the EU leaders.
Like when that one manager comes back after an "extended absence" where everyone knows EXACTLY what he did, but HR have banned you all from talking about it.
Rebecca Watson @rebeccawatson@emeier so, orange county republicans also aren't marginalized people held in an open air prison without the right to vote or move freely. why do you think I used them as the metaphor for Palestinians despite that? cmeier @cmeier@rebeccawatson Because you just blithely tossed off a comment w/out thinking very deeply about all of the implications. ยัง Rebecca Watson @rebeccawatson@cmeier yeah this one is on me for thinking. I could teach a grow adult how metaphors work. Nov 3, 2023 at 7:30 PM via Ivory for iOS
The thing you should fear about #christainnationalists isn’t that they’ll rise up against the government.
It’s that you’ll wake up one day and realize that your rights are gone, and that you have no power to stop it. That you’ll wake up again and again less and less free. That the people who claimed to protect you were either unable or unwilling in the first place.
@flexghost Here’s what people tend to overlook when people think Christian nationalist will get stomped by the US armed forces, law enforcement, agencies.
Many of them ARE in our armed forces, law enforcements, and angencies.
Y’all need to realize most Christian Nationalists aren’t just Cletus’ with hunting rifles and pick up trucks. That it’s actually a well armed well funded movement by wealthy people, and has been making massive political gains in the last 3 years.
