It's important to remember that these aren't average US citizens. These are only those wealthy enough to travel across the large country and take a vacation.

MODERATORS
Fascists don’t do revolutions, they do coups or takeovers. Revolutions advance society, fascists only regress it.
dude the French Revolution eventually advanced society, but that's because it resulted in Napoleon twice somehow (an Emperor, worse than a King, because he wanted to take shit over) and all of Europe had to band together to kick his ass to Elba.
the advancement came when all of europe was banding together.
uh, i study american history why
it's a joke about a similar picture about Iran
That is definitely not true lol. Revolutions can lead to power vacuums that can makes things even worse
Fascists do the coups, our job is the revolution that either stops it or follows it.
Pictured: A brave US army patriot, personally wading out into the reflecting pool to strangle a trespassing radical leftist
Hold on. It used to be... blue?!
It is reflecting the blue sky, as it was designed to do.
Painting the bottom blue so algae would form and ruin the reflective properties of the reflecting pool broke it.
The sky, yes.
You could say that it was showing a reflection of the sky.
Imagine literally being the fascist who tells everyone to get out of the pool (for reasons).
Or you know what, don't, your sanity is too valuable.
President Trump's Big Beautiful Swamp. Say it with me. Weld his fucking name to it.
With bigly intent.
The entire river near my house is green due to the lilly pads and constant sun on it all day. The algae bloom is nothing new but I will say that the darker the liner, the easier heat and light will absorb, so the gray one was actually doing more good than harm and it also apparently helped the reflecting properties appear more.
Why is that dude going in with his bike
It's an amphibious cyberbike
That picture's awesome! What was the context?
"Demonstrators cool off in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall, Washington D.C., May 9, 1970."
We cannot have people enjoying themselves now can we
The wealthy can enjoy themselves, but not the poors.
Particularly during a 250 year anniversary or anything
Preposterous
Guy riding a fucking bike into it, the old pool somehow lasted through that attack
And Jenny.
He was actually getting the bike out of it. Its acutally where all bikes came from before 1992 and bull clintnn.
The British have always based their government on a similar mechanism, despite the occasional protest:
"Listen: strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
It doesn't work with bicycles either.
I think that's a unicycle, which makes both more, and less, sense.
You can just walk in it?
Watch out for leeches, there’s bloodsuckers all over that property
Especially in the White House and Congress.
You can, but these days you can only do it once.
Look at all those criminals!
Domestic terrorists!! I hope they got the book thrown at them. You can't just be going around touching water like that.
I genuinely don't know if you can.
You could but it was always kinda gross, but tourists famously don't care. It's river water that sits stagnant.
So, where is the military?
In Afghanistan
Funny how it looks normal and care-free like Germany in the 1920s, and how it looks like Germany in the mid 1930s now. I wonder why...
Germany in the 1920s
You mean two years after they lost a war? Yeah, very care-free
And like in every other picture set like this, it was America's fault things changed.
Well yes, being the most powerful country in the world you get a lot of blame. I wonder why?
The lawn was prohibited then.
