I never understand this. Most of the time when I see this it's a low-throughput business like a pawn shop trying to entice people to come inside. But why would I get any closer to your loud-as-fuck speaker that you've propped the door open with blaring shitty trap music?

So either you really dont get how things work, or you’re kind of racist/xenophobic.

It's both. It's always both. People are afraid and angry and hungry, and that brings fascism like flies to shit. I really don't want to believe that people were always this hateful, and that it's mostly because times are tough for everyone. Doesn't help that you have Fox News and their cronies whipping everyone into a frenzy about every little thing.

Oh well. Now we'll see them put their plan into action and hope that they somehow self-implode before they do too much damage.

It's really easy to convince people that "different" is worse, it seems.

I'd support a threat of secession.

Too?

That scares me more, honestly. The police riding around in a malfunctioning APC....

Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.

I'm not blaming it on cabin fever or anything like that. I think people are just angry.

Some don't care, and some don't have the energy to. This is by design.

Exactly. It doesn't really matter who the candidate is - for a lot of people the cycle is to just elect someone from the other party every 8 years because the economy isn't fixed.

"Longstanding policy" = what we did the last time this fucker was elected. There is no precedent for this, and the entire judicial branch shrugged and said "What are you going to do?".

Very possible.
