Since Donald Trump’s election, his opposition party hasn’t acted much like one. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders, who hit the road this weekend in red states in an effort to stoke pushback to Trump’s slash-and-burn plutocratic governance.
Man, I’d kill for a progressive wave in the midterm primaries. Make folks like Bernie and AOC the default in the party and we’ll be ready for a comeback.
I am looking forward to the copycats who will surely start popping up!
I’m also more broadly in favor of arming ourselves at town halls and counter protests.
These people need to feel fear. So do their enablers
I saw a disturbing video yesterday, of a woman getting beaten up and dragged out of an Idaho town hall meeting for voicing opposition to the leadership. The people “arresting” her refused to say who they were and reporters said that the local Republicans wouldn’t identify the organization. I keep asking myself whether I’d have the guts to intervene in such a situation. I’m not a large person, nor have I ever considered myself violent or looking for fights… But I feel what I can only call “bloodlust” for these thugs and these politicians. I have since fantasized about what I would do to these fascistic security people with their fucking zip ties.

Never happening… The DNC would rather lose and keep soliciting donations than win and have to actually do something for us
So I’ve noticed. Should I have said “I’d go full Luigi”? Although I do not have the expertise for that.
