But have you considered the feelings of the I-Should-Be-Allowed-To-Freebase-And-Jack-Off-On-Public-Transit Caucus?

"You made the libs angry--ALL OF THEM" is one of the great cosmic horror stories of modern history, replayed again & again & again.

You can make some of the libs angry all of the time, and all of the libs angry some of the time. But if you make all the libs angry all at once, make peace w/ ur God.
Antebellum northerners never *liked* southern slavery, but they didn’t get angry enough to destroy it until it sent armies and spies into their cities to serve as kidnappers

I think "OG" fascists had more of a sincere belief that humans could be molded into a harmonious society that worked the way they thought, and that because the latter day fascists have seen that humans will always demand freedom and liberalism, the smarter (relative) ones can see they won't win

"you fool" I say, as I start shitting my pants, " elections are over." Shit is sliding down my pant legs. " Our country is finished. " Shit is falling to my feet by my sneakers. "He sent in the military, all is lost," I stammer as I slip and fall in my shit pile, Looney tunes banana peel style.
You're talking about Trump invading Minneapolis with 2 battalions of Airborne soldiers and using terms like "Election year" in the same sentence. The cognitive dissonance required to believe there will be elections in a country where the MILITARY is deployed against citizens is pretty epic, man.
