These monsters must pay. I have faith that we will come out the other side of this somehow. And there will be HELL to pay. The GOP fascists who applauded their cult leader's promises of "retribution" have yet to learn the meaning of that word. And they will be educated in spectacular fashion.
Sadly history shows that no matter the evil, the average footsoldier does not get what's coming for them.
Look at what happened to the SS agenta. Hell just look at the Nuremberg trials. We've had the chance to eradicate fascism and went easy on them, putting bullshit "international relations" above making sure the scum of humanity with the worst of ideologies is truly gone.
Like, imagine having a beautiful garden. You look away for a moment and bam, it's full of weeds, weeds trying to kill off all the flowers and produce. Do you just pull a few weeds, trim the rest back, and call it a day?
No, you take care of ALL the weeds, and take steps to ensure they don't come back.
That I why I figure that if there is a civil war, I will shoot to kill and double tap fallen MAGA during battle, unless they offer surrender. Nuremberg only executed 210ish Nazis, despite the rank and file being the hands of evil.
This sucks. 😩
And then the dandelions come back anyway.
Dandelions are your friend!
They fix hard nutrient poor soil and are entirely edible. There's even some evidence they can help with PMS symptoms when consumed.
Not if you do it right.
I hope you are not using herbicides.
I'd like to have faith but I'm surrounded pacifists and people who believe voting will fix things.
Who is going to make them pay? Only like 50 democrats even bothered to want to investigate ICE.
What will happen is the same old, now isn’t the time for vengeance but healing and moving forward crap.
I feel that the only way to proceed in this world is with the faith that it will be made right. Otherwise what is the point in trying? We should all lay down and give up?
Nobody said anything about not having faith that things will be made right. They just said not to look to Democrats to do it.
Oh I don’t argue for giving up, I argue for holding them accountable yourself instead of relying on a spineless or complicit leadership class.
There is faith in an actual project of doing something concrete, and then there is faith in it "somehow" going to be ok.
One is constructive, the other is just sticking your head in the sand and helping the fascists.
Desperation and anger is needed to topple fascists. Complacency created by a belief in heavenly intervention is not.
