We’re getting rapid societal change right now, just the wrong way. My biggest challenge to your take is that you’d have everyone always playing defense, which only slows, not stops, the evil that keeps coming.

Do I wish there were a non-violent out for this? Yes. I just can’t see it. Every day that passes, every norm that is cast aside, means that much more work just to get back to “the old ways” (which were far from perfect). The other side opened the door Jan 6, 2021, then blew it off its hinges with the pardons. The only way to win is play by their rules, or at least their rulebook of “no rules” - thank you sir may I have another and hoping they get bored/annoyed is not a viable strategy.

Seems like they could tell us who he IS and clear all this up. I suppose we could read his arrest record as this is clearly excessive force (among other things), but that would imply the administration admitting its errors (and who really things THAT will happen)?

You know, I’d actually not considered the need for the peaceful protests to build the support so that when the inevitable necessary violence occurs, those heroes have the backers they need. I just wish this would speed the fuck up already; those of us who’ve seen this shitshow coming for years are just getting impatient at getting PAST this point in history. I, for one, think that the quicker we get through it the better EVERYONE comes out on the other side; continuing to draw it out leads to more entrenched parties, more hard feelings afterwards, and more pain required to fix this.

I actually like them tougher. I’ll buy a bag and leave it open for a week before I start eating them.

Good. Polite and convenient protests aren’t the way out of this.

Let me guess - the older lawmakers who voted for some of Trump’s cabinet nominations?

Well that’s clear as mud 🤣 Maybe I’ll just use “lies” instead!

All it takes is one person…and they were with me the whole night.

I dunno, they seem pretty effective at dragging us all back to the 1960’s and beyond.
