Conservatives have made it abundantly clear that they have zero respect for our Constitution. They are traitors to the United States and enemies of the American people.
It is past time that we start treating them as such.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

There goes his Chance at a Democratic Presidential Run! They'll NEVER let someone who BADMOUTHS their Strategy to Run!
YOU THINK?
Hear my stern words about how the time for stern words is over
The time has come... For two sternly worded letters!
people were telling me in December, ‘You know, you’re overreacting.’
One day after saying this, the former speaker of the Minnesota house is gunned down by a pro-Trump extremist.
*by a MAGA terrorist
Redundant statement is redundant.
MAGA == terrorist
It’s technically redundant, but it’s also meaningful, intentional, and warranted. Especially when at least half of our legacy media establishment is committed to grossly misrepresenting the entire fascistic political movement, and the other half seems to be going whole hog on false equivalence and theatrical shock at entirely predictable authoritarian developments.
It’s a lot like how we need to refer to the rapist Brock Turner (who is a rapist), for the simple reason that it needs to be aggressively forced into public perception. A lot like how the rapist Brock Turner aggressively forced himself on his rape victim, except the outcome here is increased public knowledge instead of Brock Turner (the rapist) getting his jollies.
I agree. I also think a bit of humor can help spread a message. I think the statement is kinda funny and I do think they are terrorists, and so do they.
It's not redundant until the mainstream media frames the narrative based on reality instead of propaganda.
Words have meaning, and we should do our best to use the most accurate, truthful words to reframe the narrative and ensure clarity; even when others do not.

*Republican MAGA terrorist serial killer
People have been telling me I've been overreacting for the last two years. My "overreacting" is the reason why I'm now comfortably in another country.
Yes. I don’t understand his much more “shits gotten real” it needs to get.

He is right at this rate the dems might lose the 2024 elections!
The time for 'strongly worded letters" was over the day they stormed the Capitol.
There was never a time for "strongly worded letters." Republicans never bought into that weak shit, and now they rule everything.

Ok, so what time is it, Tim?
wait fuck
Might be the time for Minnesota to join Canada, Tim. Think big.
If you want to end politically-motivated gun violence becoming normalized, time to leave the USA and ban guns not used for hunting or within shooting ranges.
time to leave the USA and ban guns not used for hunting or within shooting ranges.
Respectfully Canada has been taking it too far with their gun control.
Canada has rightfully banned assault rifles/firearms for personal use back in the 90’s however, recently they’ve been banning guns solely based on appearance calling them “assault style firearms”, just because a firearm looks like it belongs in the military does not mean it was designed for such use.
Edit: I made a post a while back about the Crusader Arms Crypto rifle entirely designed to comply with the recent ban’s on firearms however, the Government of Canada had it reclassified as a prohibited rifle.
I can attest to the fact that these current bans effect people like myself who enjoy sport shooting at ranges or in the wilderness on crown-land, if a criminal has possession of an illegal firearm there is no chance they’ll lawfully turn it over.
I totally understand that overreach makes hunting and recreational shooting activities a lot more difficult.
On the flipside, it means that assembly in Canada is peaceful by default without the constant threat of escalation into gun violence as can happen in the USA. It means that in our cities, 19 times out of 20 we only have to worry about pointy objects being potentially used as weapons by people walking down the street rather than guns.
The styling of firearms is just for show over safety I agree. But maintaining a culture of responsibly using firearms as a privilege of partaking in the sport, rather than as a right, is a distinction that gives us Canadians a better quality-of-life overall. There's far fewer grey areas in Canada as to where and what guns should be legally used for.
