    Did that and the Democrats squandered every bit of our effort and actively went about screwing over the vocal progressives in the party that were actually pushing back against fascist and oligarachs so unless I actually see the old shitty Democrats follow Ludacris’s advice and to move bitch, get out da way and getting people who actually support and stand in front and lead the workers and opposition, I’ll just keep my head down and try to weather this fascist slide while looking for a way out.

        Nah, we need to educate non-gun owning people that this is what the second amendment is about.

        Do you know why the civil Rights act got passed in the first place?
        It wasn’t because of Martin Luther King’s peaceful speech. It was because Malcolm x and the Black panthers started up buying up guns en mass.
        If all who oppose Trump came together and started arming themselves, one of two things would happen.

        1. They institute stricter gun regulations and they piss off their own base and lose support.

        Or
        2) they start changing policies.

      Except when we elevate bipartisanship above good governance. If a bill is going to make life worse for Americans then don’t put your name on it. I’d be happy without a single Democratic “yea” in the next 2-4 years.
