Flirting with revolution

The Trump presidency began in shame and dishonesty. It ends in shame, dishonesty, cowardice, and rebellion against the Constitution. For the past few weeks, the right-wing media, including the big talk-radio shows, has been coyly calling for a revolution. Of course they never thought they’d actually get one: That kind of talk is good for business — keep the rubes riled up and they won’t change the channel when the commercials come around on the half-hour. I never had much hope for the likes of Sean Hannity, tragically born too late to be a 1970s game-show host, but to watch Senator Ted Cruz descend into this kind of dangerous demagoguery as he jockeys to get out in front of the Trump parade as its new grand marshal has induced despair.

Perhaps our best bored example of how populism appeals to the (very) common man weighs in.

At this point people are going to justify anything
Just GTFO -
Oh please, no one cares what NR has to say. There’s no room for NR in Trump’s Republican Party. Hayek, Kirk and Buckley are dinosaurs. It’s all Gateway Pundit and Dinesh D’Souze now. If you’re not willing to tell the rubes exactly what they want to hear you can get the fuck out!

what we learned yesterday:
There was fear, panic, confusion, anger, terror, apocalyptic, it was 9/11, and Pearl Harbor wrapped into one. (according to schumer)
A Tim Pool guest last night, was at the protest and said there were at least 200,000 people there yesterday. About 300 people "broke" into the building. Antifa was there.
There is nothing wrong with people gathering and showing their disdain for our current government that is beyond corrupt. But yet these people are traitors. Wow. I am certainly not condoning what was witnessed inside the building but that will be run over and over and over again to create even more hatred for these people.
BLM raised 10 BILLION dollars 10!! billion!!! after burning down cities across the country where at least 40 people lost their lives and causing billions of dollars in damage!
The MSM and big tech have manipulated society to essentially destroy our social fabric and make lemmings out of us. The more division they can create the more eyeballs they can occupy.
FB, Instagram, Twitter, MSM will create any "reality" they want. Zuck's statement on Trump signaled the end of the first amendment. Trump did not condone violence. Give me a break.
Lastly, if you feel like the woke movement has been overemphasized? Biden/Harris will put it into hyperdrive. My greatest fear is what will be made of our youth with this insane conditioning.
I know this will piss some people off but there are elements of yesterday that felt very calculated.

Shit won't get done outside of budget reconciliation packages and nominations, there will be a red wave in '22, and both the left and right will be pissed off come '24 when once again nothing of substance has been done. Lather, rinse, repeat. -

What is there to justify? Inauguration is all set for January 20th, prep teams are all officially green lighted to work diligently for transfer and a friendly, willing Congress awaits President Biden when he awakes January 21st.
I once supported Donald Trump to do what’s best for me. I’m still here so, something worked. Your view of Trump is probably written. History’s view will be debated for eternity.
Now, as we do in the US, we fall into line and do as we’re told.
I’m on #TeamJoe
How about where we’re headed?
How about where we are going?
What’s the Plan for the virus? For the currency? For the future? How do you see the United States fitting in to a F-150-less world? What role will China play? Russia?
Tell us Joe, I’m ready!

Stupid is knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies. There is a shitload of stupid right now.

Important stuff like impeaching a guy who will be living in Florida in less than two weeks. Covid relief Shmovid relief. The peasants can struggle while the castle is purged of Trump.doogie said:All 3 Houses
