Wackjob wingers have literally put out a call to arms. To suppress democracy.

Example:

'When do we get to use the guns?': Attendee shut down at right-wing event

At a speaking event in Idaho, one man asked right-wing activist Charlie Kirk about using violence against democrats.

That's all they know when they can't get their way....threaten violence, actually carry it out. Which they did on Jan 6 at the Capitol, plotting to kidnap and kill Gov Whitmer, ongoing threats to election officials, sectys of state, etc. That's all they know.

Casting a vote for Trump in your dead relative's name was the simple-minded effort of trumpie/repubs to steal the election. Those repubs got caught.

This one is MOST important because it addresses Trump/repub plans to overturn future elections.

We vigorously oppose ongoing Republican efforts to empower state legislatures to override duly appointed election officials and interfere with the proper certification of election results, thereby substituting their own political preferences for those expressed by citizens at the polls.

Funny cuz Pennsylvania 2020.

What you vigorously oppose is:

1. One citizen, One vote
2. Black folk being expected to be as capable of whites(Voter I.D. is racist)
3. Helping re-elect morons like Joe Biden.

Ever since Trump waddled to the escalator, rode down, and spewed his racist craziness, we thought the right wing rabble would come to their senses. They never have. They’ve gotten worse, even applauding Trump’s incitement of the violent coup attempt.

Horrifying. The country is doomed.

"Call to arms"

Do we bring long guns or shotguns?

"Call to arms"

Do we bring long guns or shotguns?

So your first thought was violence. That's why our democracy is under threat.

What does the phrase call to arms mean?
1 : a summons to engage in active hostilities.
2 : a summons, invitation, or appeal to undertake a particular course of action a political call to arms.

I gonna support this so I can vote in any state I want.

I don't want to block you.

Talk sense

 

[write on]

Does anyone else feel like they're watching a reality show?

I say this in disgust.

You're caught in the web. Amazon, Facebook, Instagram- and at some point- Twitter- and they have changed your mindset- to casually spend.

That has changed the mind of many- to America's detriment.

Neveryoumind!
