You cannot support the freedom and democracy for the Venezuelan people without the Left undermining or outright attack you.
You are literally pushed in to being Far Right for supporting the removal of an evil man. No one on the Left supports removing Maduro & actively attack those who do.

This is a problem and so isn't more than half of Americans living in suburbia.
It is a dangerous combination.
Suburbia robs us of democracy. It lacks the New England small town hall meeting energy or many democratic outlets of cities. It robs of public spaces and community.

Maine’s border towns feel decline in Canadian visitors: ‘Half our community is gone’
Border crossings were down nearly 30% in August compared to last year. In spots like Calais and Houlton, the difference is palpable.

He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.
There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.
He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

There are really two different Whites in America.
Those united behind universal principles and American values, and those anchored in racial identity and Confederate Culture.
The Confederate Culture has held this country back, and turning it backwards.

I always think about covid lockdowns and who was considered an essential worker. It wasn't the billionaires or the overly comfortable upper middle class office workers. It was the people who feed us, care for us, and keep the lights on, the people who are at the bottom of the economic ladder.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless
