I said this 7 months ago and was called an alarmist. History says elections won’t save us. They will end us. Blue states must declare war.

This is up there with white ppl wanting Jon Stewart to run for president.
Honestly...I'm beginning to think white people can't be trusted with democracy. You all have no natural predators and it shows in your behavior and instincts.

My biggest fear isn't fascists forcing us to carry out a popular uprising to defeat them. My biggest fear is pretend democrats who, once in power thanks to us, will make excuses for why they can't restore all that Trump/Russia destroyed, because they're weak, threatened, paid off by business elites

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

Instead of secession referendums, can states like NY and CA pass laws that insist their residents pay their federal income tax instead to their state, to be held in escrow, until the federal government upholds the law and brings the criminals (Musk and his Hitler Youth) to justice?

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.
this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.
