I'm so conflicted on this take. On one hand, it sounds a little accelerationist/tankie. On the other hand, you're not wrong. But they are trying to protect lives by recognizing there is a literal serial murderer on the loose with not only the names and addresses of public officials, but also "no kings" rally flyers.
So it's a fairly simple trolley problem question in the "what if" scenarios going through an actual concerned public official's mind. It's cool people showed up cause they all realized this dude was a coward and will only shoot people who are at an extreme disadvantage, and wouldn't dare to go public with his violence cause there's a chance he might get punched in the face a few dozen times before his homies in blue pull him out.
But you really can't blame this public statement on "Democrats are cowards", even though it is objectively true.
That conflict is stemming from your cognitive dissonance.
You want to believe Democrats are the good guys, but every day we see more reasons why that's not the case.
There really is only 1 party in the US: the party of the ruling class. Democrats and republicans work together to oppress everyone else.
Less and≥objectively evil.
That's all I have to say in response to you fuckheads who created this fucking monstrosity.
And I'll repeat this same line to everyone who tries this bullshit "bIt BoTh siDeS!!1!" Bullshit.
You are directly responsible for the murder of innocent people!
Sleep well tonight realizing you're a terrible person exaggerating one side, and minimizing the other's shortcomings.
Don't hurt your back bending over backwards to eat your own ass you fascist enabling piece of shit!
Hey, blame everyone who voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary for why we have 2 trump presidencies.
The democrats showed where their loyalties lie: they'd rather have a fascist than a progressive so that's what we get.
Good job doing your part to support the two-pronged strategy. It's what makes you average and I don't expect more from you people at this point.
Now, keep getting angry rather than admitting how you're part of the problem.
This…
✌️
Sorry for getting rough with you, but we need to stop giving this bullshit a pass.
It's time to admit we were wrong. I've done it and so can you.
No disrespect retrieved! Just on that "take nothing but pictures and leave only footprints" type vibe.
