The hardest part is learning so much about fellow people you thought you knew.

I have a close person in my life, we used to organize together, went to rally’s, etc. and this person even claims to be responsible for my politics. But they lost their mind during Covid, went anti-mask and jumped both feet into the medical weirdness. Wound up being a big RFK fan.

Now that all this shit is happening, I keep trying to inspire some action. This person told me they were done, not willing fight, wants to let their kids and other people fight for them, they need to be a breadwinner.

So, just embraced the insanity, then stepped aside just in time for fascism to take over. When the fight matters, they just gave up.

Sucks, but at least I finally got to know the real them.

lol, yeah, wife is a nurse, she brings them home for me :).

Been saying it since his first election. I still do not think America survives the orange fascist.

What a fucking moron.

Reapers man, let’s just say I wash extremely well these days after cutting them up.

I would, but raising three schoolaged kids. Fuck me, never thought this would happen to the world, I was not prepared. Should have had kids 5 years earlier or later…

They don’t, or at least the pedo in chief doesn’t. He just knows that he can sell it to his base. Plus he has stacked the cabinet with true believers and those that stand to profit from all this shit. Just more grift enablement, then again, most religion is.

I’d fix it, but in truth I’m never arguing against the person, minds aren’t usually changed in online arguments. But a comment for someone else watching the conversation, is instead what I’m after.

That plus I’m really lazy.

D’oh, point remains, meant it to be in support of yours anyway so I’ll leave it :).

I used to agree, but now I don’t. In the general election, the choice is between FASCISM NOW or FASCISM LATER.

Hard disagree. The reason for this mentality is Americans have this stupid fucking idea that one election fixes everything, and if we vote the once “correctly” we are done.

Fuck that. Vote blue blue no matter who means vote them to the left EVERY TIME! So next election isn’t about a fascist vs. bare minimum. You get the minimum and then work your ass off for a better challenger FROM THE LEFT for the next election.

Kinda seems like we already did.

Thanks so much for the advice. I’ll look into it.

I actually have an ac180 for camping and using tools away from power. I kinda figured it was a bit of a waste as just a ups, and worried about killing the battery quickly.

Maybe get another dedicated one for the office where I need it…

You have got to be goddamned kidding me. Literally this weekend I said to myself “time to get a UPS”.

My friends and I have a copy of duece bigelow that we take turns hiding at each others house. I think someone got it as a gift like 20 years ago. I think it’s still in shrink wrap, probably somewhere behind a photo on one of our walls to be found and re-hid someday 🙃

The army drafting rob schneider sounds exactly like a rob schneider movie plot.

Because most of its citizens peaked in it.

They made mention of how the next protest would require action at No Kings this weekend. I was sincerely hoping this might be the case. It felt like enough people are showing up for these that action just might be possible.

I don’t know, but it was inspiring to see so many people, and the conversations going on are much more targeted and direct. I don’t have much faith left, but here’s hoping; I’ll do my part…

Exactly, they are an important tool in normalizing a resistant mindset. They get headlines, and it shows others who might be on the fence that the movement is growing. It gives people hope, unifies them.

So even without a cause, we all know what we’re protesting. Normalize the resistance, make it ordinary, make it default. We’ve been listening to their bullshit long enough, I just want to some time to shout myself.

Then I come home motivated and get to work.
