The libs are angry and democrats don't like it

*Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a high-profile progressive, said he believes "the most effective pushback to Trump's unconstitutional actions is to model a reverence for the Constitution and the rule of law."

The Republicans think the constitution was written by god himself and Democrats think they can combat that with American Civil Religion.
- As long as they pray to the Founding Fathers enough, Trump will lose the Mandate of Washington and will be rendered powerless.

The guy who was trying to recruit a nazi to the DNC a couple weeks ago?
- Oh? Did I miss this or forget?
First of all, this shit isn't unconstitutional. That's up to the Supreme court and they seem fine with it. Second, we have the premiere bourgeois constitution. That thing isn't doing shit for me. The bill of rights we're all supposed to love is just a list of things the state can't do on your behalf.
What a fucking loser
Every time I hear democrats speak, I am reminded of the Android speech to Gohan from TAS

Famous last words.
I think it’s fair to call the democrats the Conservative Party. The republicans are regressives, certainly. But the people plead for systemic change, and the democrats are just trying to conserve the same failed order that got us to this point.
- The other Nazi party.
the constitution says slavery is allowed, you just have to have a judge sign off on it first
I wipe my ass with the magic parchment
Amazing

"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat.
"Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles ... [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison."

ALL THE PEOPLE CURRENTLY GETTING ARRESTED TRYING TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU COULD TELL YOU AS MUCH, DIPSHIT

Yeah, Senators famously face more injustice than everyone else. They can't afford legal defense, and the media doesn't care when they're arrested.
- "Nobody told us that this great power that we voluntarily obtained came with responsibilities!"
Lmao the fucking endgame boss of liberal idpol is a black senator implying there's a racism ick factor when rich white people complain about them
- You can only demand that your elected representatives take a stand for something when you're poor enough to be ignored.
So you've spent your political career trying to fix the known problems in American prisons, right?
Interesting how doing anything is a "gift to Donald Trump" but not stopping him isn't?
a demand that we... allow ourselves to be victims of violence
Yes. It's me folks. I'm the one that's demanding this. The rest of the quote confirms why I will continue demanding it.
- It's like if a firefighter complained like "they want me to run in to a burning building? Pfft as if!"
Also most of them are rich and politically connected, which matters more than literally anything else for how you fare in prison.

"Leadership? I just wanted a cushy job that makes me feel important and connects me with rich, powerful people. What about that do you poors not understand?"

Hate it when people keep trying to politicize my job of house minority leader
I hate this so much
It's so accurate and I hate this so much
These people don't want to do anything; they're not trying to make anything better; we're electing people to sit there and slow the descent into catastrophe and they're sitting atop us while the waves are at shoulder level and they're hardly even trying to slow the descent into catastrophe

"just saying the right things isn't working anymore.. the people just keep wanting more than that, and we're all out of ideas"

Rather, they've moved to "attempting to smear people who say the right things as dangerous radicals"

Every single Gen X I know is so demoralized right now, my own parents who were once apolitical are singing a much different tune now -- something that was just a dream for me. This shit is real. Our environment is changing.

My Gen x parents are being directly effected by a lot of this policy. They used to be non voters and my dad was kind of libertarian/conservative when I was a kid.
They seem a little more engaged these days and I'm hoping to hear them say something that would make me proud some day

Let the fires of revolution burn bright
