You wish it was clean up time. There's still theoretically three more years, and that's assuming there's not an attempt at a third term.

You guys have a lot of guns, DO YOU NOT?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 10 months ago

Leftists have less guns than we should.

Yes but going in solo is suicidal and we currently lack revolutionary leadership.

[–] ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"someone else do it please" is not the mentality to have if you actually want revolution.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Hot take and so easy to type out with nothing at stake for you, but I'll reply anyway.

With stakes like these, being stupid and trying to do something you know you'll fail at helps nobody, and actually hurts whatever cause you would have eventually joined. When the things I am good at are needed to topple a tyrant, I'll answer the call. I can't help if I'm dead or locked up. I'm not a person that can get a movement off the ground and inspire enough people to join and act in a coordinated fashion that it actually succeeds. Very, very few people are capable of that. That's why we are where we are right now.

This person gets it.

We need to wait until it is not an actual crime. Rebellion is illegal, until it isn't.

I keep imagining a tipping point where a large percentage of the population wakes up one day and smacks their forehead while saying "OMG, the corruption won't stop because the people that would vote to stop the corruption are all corrupt" ... then they start assembling guillotines.

Nah, im sure you would survive!

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Me too, that’s why I haven’t done anything yet. Gotta be sure.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but, using our guns??? What an unspeakable idea! I mean honestly. Who's ever heard of a shooting happening in the USA???

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't understand this one.

Edit: is she talking to trump voters?

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much, yeah. Starts out seeming like she's trying to stop a kid from a bad decision, then instead of a bunch of toys falling down or whatever, leopards ate their face. So like any good parent, she helps them start cleaning up from the consequences of their actions.

The “you and me both” is a bit odd.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Implying she is not a liberal, most likely a socialist

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 10 months ago

THIS. Been reading her stuff for twenty years. Hits right in the feels.

[–] anti_antidote@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

We should all be in the fight to own the neolibs

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Im guessing this is about conservative parents?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She's a leftist. Stuck patching up the other person, likely without a proper follow-up unless something doesn't heal right.

Liberals will happilly tell them its their fault for riding a skateboard, walking when there's a car available, or, knowing Jenny's fam/friends from her comics, "playing with" tannerite.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I fucking wish my neighbors would stop playing with fucking tannerite. It scares my dog half to death. Fuck tannerite and fuck people who light it on fire. Get a hobby.

Edit: sorry, rant. Still, fuck tannerite.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 10 months ago

Shooting is a hobby. Tannerite is for target practice.

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep, unfortunately trump supporting men are just toddlers in disguise like their cult leader, so their wives have to herd them into doing the right thing.

[–] CBYX@feddit.org 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You say this as if half of white women didn't vote for Trump

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah… it's more of a combined educational-, economical- and cult-problem, paired with a bad political system. It can affect anyone depending on their situation in life, causing them to be either incompetent, blinded in some way or outright radicalized.
