There was never a time for "strongly worded letters." Republicans never bought into that weak shit, and now they rule everything.

Yeah, the cowardly Minnesota leadership cancelled the No Kings protests, and their constituents said "Fuck That," and showed up anyway. 80,000 angry Minnesota Americans chose to publicly protest, knowing that a vicious murderer who was targeting them was on the loose, while their elected representatives chose to cower behind closed doors.

It's long past time for Democratic politicians to match the energy, anger, militancy, and COURAGE of their voters. We elected them to represent and fight for US against the MAGA Nazis, and now we expect them to DO THEIR JOBS!

If they won't, we'll elect people who will.

It sounds like an interesting story, kind of a Walking Tall kind of thing.

Phaxism

She didn't "uncover" this phenomenon. Mark Penn was the Clinton's pollster, and he published his book Microtrends in 2007. Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point was published in 2000. The concept of the "Tipping Point" has been known and studied for a long time. .

I have read books by Mark Penn and Malcolm Gladwell, which talk about that magical 3.5% as a "Tipping Point" that can kick off a trend. It's not guaranteed, but historical records indicate that it takes at least 3.5% to reach critical mass.

In America, that's about 11.5 - 12 million people.

With protests going on all over the country, I don't see how ANY count can be accurate. Further, there are many supporters who would never attend a protest. I am one of them. I encourage others to go, but I can participate in other ways, like actively posting on social media.

Add up the protesters, the keyboard warriors, and the many other forms of resistance, and we'll hit the 3.5% mark.

I saw this guy on TV, and he was truly perplexed at hearing about his friend's actions, and eventually just broke down. I felt bad for him.

The MAGA Nazi leaders are pure evil, but many of their followers aren't inherently bad, they've just been manipulated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine to think they are saving their country. This guy seemed to suddenly come to that realization.

We have truth-in-advertising laws. You can't make claims about a product that isn't true.

Politics is just a product, being sold by a candidate. If that candidate lies about the product they "represent," and the voters rely on those promised lies, the politician should be held responsible for that lie.

For instance, HitlerPig claimed for years that he had a first-rate health care plan that was two weeks away from release. Finally, during his debate with Harris, he admitted that all they had were "concepts" of a plan. Clearly, there was never a plan at all.

Politicians should be held accountable for their deliberate lies.

The Nazis did eventually lose, but look what it took to do it. Millions of people died on both sides. The best defense is to not allow them any power, but they already control the most powerful military in the history of the world.

At this point, leaving is a credible option, if you have it. Unfortunately, unless you are wealthy, have a large business, or are incredibly intelligent in a field they want, most of us won't be welcome any where else.

There is plenty to condemn this administration over, but this isn't one of them. To say that it glorifies the Russian Flag when they are clearly graphic design marks, with the actual flag right next to it, taking up about 1/3 of the image, is dumb.

Complaining about this is stupid. There are serious issues to focus on.

Where did this happen?
