MAGA are willing enough to storm the capitol, they'd be easier to convince to "rise up" than any liberal i've ever seen.

I want to do this so bad but my landlord probably won't let my wife and I do that to their home they don't live in.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a pawn. Yet here we are, being forced to make the chess pieces and chess board for minimum wage.

The 'based' part wasn't that they showed up to protest. It was that they potentially sacrificed their job, endangered their own comfort and security, to stand up for a moral code and take a side. Something that escapes centrists/fascists.

Those were all closed door dealings that boomers children could've only learned from hindsight. This was a public display of WTFery that rewrites the last century of geopolitical history, something like this hasn't happened since... Oh god.

You could draw it on an etch-a-sketch.

That's the real kicker, everyone is not powerless. On the contrary, as a matter of fact, everyone is powerful. America could change tomorrow if Americans wanted it bad enough.
