Navy vet. ADHD. Proud DFLer, 2nd place candidate, pretentious English degree holder. I work in IT, and I like video games, too.
Yeah, me too. It seemed like such a good plan on Wednesday though. I'll do it again next week, you know, for science.

To their credit, a few people have been receptive to my post, but then there's the rest, which really proves my point

I never let them reverse in. Usually hot shot reserve pilots who wanted to. No sir, the tractor does that.

What’s objectionable here isn’t the political claim, although that’s wrong too. It’s national leaders behaving like the worst, smuggest jerk you’ve ever met, and clearly loving it. It’s a repulsive way of acting! In a movie you’d instantly know he’s the bad guy!

Where are you guys gonna go outside? I won't meet you there, but i'll feel guilty about it, which is the important bit, I think.

The scariest thing to me is how fast all of the institutions that we thought we could rely on, the press, law enforcement, even colleges, rolled over as soon soon as they were asked to, like they had been waiting for this exact situation so they could surrender.

30-45 mins, or 20 minutes after you say "man, this edible ain't doin shit" and take another one.

Maybe we're being misled, right? But it sure seems like they go into negotiations with surrender in mind.

I've always thought so, but I was afraid to voice my opinion. Thank you for your courage.

Shut it down, how can that be worse than armed troops in our cities? Come on, at least fight, or walk out or do something besides participating in the fascism.

Yes! Please let the party's response to historical abuses, LIKE KIDNAPPING.. Ahem excuse me, tbat was uncivil. Please, democrats, come up with a wonky, small, concession, then give the jack boots what they want! America demands milquetoast "leadership" from our only allowed opposition party

Same response most of the US, maybe the world has towards bullying. And it's the same behavior, of course. Appease the bully, don't do anything to make them mad. Anything done to get back some of your own will be punished severely. Bullies win. Heartbreaking, wish it wasn't so, but there it is

It sure seems like the party line over the last few years. Im not saying that fighting for fighting sake is always a good idea, but if I were a democratic moc, I would feel pretty confident saying "gop will do as they wish, but not with my name attached to it."

Also, people really underestimate the mental toll that summer took on us. I'm gen-x and a veteran, and it was like a curtain went up. All the happy shit they told us all my life was a lie. No one particularly cared if anyone died, it was more important to shield the powerful from any accountability.

Yeah this sounds plausible, folks brought hand sanitizer, extra masks. I didn't go down there so i'll defer to those who did, but the teens/20s people that left our house had that stuff, also first aid kits and lots of water.

Yes! The Revisionism is terrible! I'm in the Twin Cites, and we had police in my, well all of the suburbs manning roadblocks prepared to resist the hoards or whatever. Nothing came our way. The city is fine, was fine. It was a bad time, but not some civilization altering uprising.

I dont remember anybody saying it was cool, just that it was a risk, so mask up. Outside is slightly safer, but not safe, so take precautions. As has been pointed out before, the protests were important and, for some, worth the risk. Why do people get resentful about this?

It's maddening. Everyone I know is scared to distraction, terrified of any government agencies, and our Dem establishment thinks that the best thing to do is fund the authoritarian govt. Fight it, idgaf walk away entirely, but dont surrender with a pathetic, weak concession and a sad head shake.

Yeah. It's too bad we can't redirect the righteous anger up. People would probably like to see someone, say Malcom Gladwell, for instance, in the stocks with rotten fruit available for throwing. Or what's his name, Dershowitz, or any of those annoying sycophants collecting paychecks from Nazis.

I will never understand why anyone cares that much. Are they such diehard fans of like HS girls' fucking track that their souls ache with the pain of the crippling unfairness of a 14 year old "cheating" by being trans? If so, I would venture to say their injustice meter needs to be recalibrated.

3/3 I don't have an answer. I'm a middle aged technician, past my prime, smart enough to be afraid but too dumb or scared to come up with anything but a desire to hide from it like a kid curled up on the playground, elbows and knees blocking the worst of the kicks.
