They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren’t necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

If folks can somehow retain one and only one thing if we get through all this without civil war:
R wants power, and they want to hurt anyone who doesn’t fit a fairly narrow demographic. That’s all they have ever wanted, and every policy or position out of R in the past many years is all the proof you need.
When R gets power they start breaking shit and hurting people. It’s the only outcome of modern conservatism. And when they say “enough is enough” it’s ONLY because the policies they supported and cheered for finally start to blow back on them.
IF we make it through this folks, DO NOT FORGET. Don’t vote R ever again, not for the lowliest local position, not for the highest position. Not for any position. I’m in my 50s and I’m telling you all that hate and control over those not like them are the only things from Republican mouths in as long as I’ve been old enough to pay attention. How polite they are about it has waxed and waned, but the direction they push for has always been the same.
(and don’t come at me with some shitty whataboutism - D sucks in their own way as a group, but that way is not this way)
Edited to add -
This is so true that they tried to convince people it wasn’t true with a targeted rebranding in the 90s. I don’t think anyone bought it even then. Compassionate Conservatism
A few years ago I put my position on the Republican party into a relatively pithy saying it’s really easy to remember.
" No Republicans. No excuses. No exceptions."
Feel free to share and steal without attribution.
No Republicans. No excuses. No exceptions.
I fucking love it.
“Let’s beat the system by playing in the system’s rules!”
It’s reasons like this why we still don’t have single payer healthcare.
I am so fucking tired of the “vote blue no matter who!” This mentality continues to perpetuate the very inequality we keep facing. As long as liberals have their tvs and their diet cokes they can take any amount of abuse the system puts on them. “See the numbers are up! So you must be crazy if you think your situation is bad!” Is the dribble I heard consistently throughout the Genocide Joe administration. It ain’t just him though lemme tell you.
Chuck Schumer (and other democrats) voted yes for cloture giving more power to Elon.
John Fetterman is basically a republican ignoring everything his constituents voted him in for.
Kamala promising single payer healthcare during her first run. Yet as soon as she became the Democratic candidate in 2024 she ran sprinting the other way.

Do you not realize that Biden crafted the gun that Trump is firing at student visa protesters?

the cages for children that were built by the Obama administration.

and the constant drone striking from the obama administration.
Obama bailing out the banks because of the 2008 financial crisis.
Pelosi (and many ither democrats) with their insider trading.
Pelosi stiffing AOC for party leader and putting an old fuck with esophogeal cancer in instead.
Or the Democrats standing outside the Department of Education as it got raided. The most protected group of citizens couldn’t have the courage to force their way in. They just recorded and cried “look at what they’re doing! We are so helpless!”
The Democrats sitting idly by with stupid ping pong paddle signs as Al Green stood up and yelled at Trump. WORTHLESS.
How about anytime the Democrats have had The House, The Senate, and The Presidency they are always fucking useless? Saying they don’t have the power to do anything. Whine whine whine. Yet when Republicans come in they have absolute power and get their objectives DONE. I mean fuck they don’t give a rat’s ass about the law, If they want it done it will be done.
Anyone else is welcome to fill in the blanks on collasal democrat fumbles.
If you keep voting for them it signals they can keep getting away with not serving you. Their messaging is the very reason turnout was low. No one is motivated by Goldman Sachs approving your economic plan. By the end of Kamala’s campaign she was promising diet Trump policies. Why would I vote for diet deporter when I can have the real og? The messaging was brain dead.
Democrats do a better job at getting a Conservative elected than Conservatives themselves. They are a fucking joke and I am tired of everyone acting like the color blue is a savior. It’s not. We are on our own right now. The Democrats won’t save you.
It’s time we abandon the radioactive party that is Democrats and work towards a leftist movement. Talk to your neighbors, get to know people and their plights/struggles, show compassion and empathy to your fellow citizens, create a network of people who you would protect and would absolutely protect you, build up skills such as growing your own food, and volunteer at a soup kitchen. Try to lessen yours and others dependance on the powers that be as much as possible.
Democrats paved the way for a Trump presidency. Do not be surprised if violence is required to overcome this. These people use violence on you everyday, you just don’t call it that.
Until you see some major motion from the Democratic party, do not give them anymore of your time. For the love of god do not give them any of your money.
Can you point to the part of my comment where I said anything at all about voting for Democrats? Because I’m pretty sure I wrote a very lengthy comment about Republicans and Conservatives.
Giving R more power at any level is laughably foolish. Everyone understands that today, I just hope people remember it this time.
I also included this:
And you gave me hundreds of words of whataboutism. 😂
I hope it was cathartic for you to get all that out, though.
Ok, how would you feel If I told people to vote third party then? It’s not voting for Republicans so we should be good right?
Yeah I know you included that last sentence so all criticisms of Democrats can be deflected by pointing to it. Oh my gosh you got me!!! My entire point is the dems we have now and in the past have been spineless/worthless cowards. I have as much disdain for Joe Biden as I do Donald Trump. He would have continued perpetuating his evil foreign policies if he won a second term. He would habe kept his terrible immigration policies. Same with Kamala
It seems you have forgotten we are in this mess because of democrat incompetence. I was trying to remind YOU because YOU seem to need a reminder.
Genocide Joe didn’t drop out and the dems paraded him around with no primary. This is all of their fault. Stop blaming voters for Democrats unpopulararity.
Do you think people would have been more motivated to vote for a democrat promising single payer healthcare? Cause I sure fucking do. Voters want better and I do not blame them.
Buddy, it’s still a semi-free country. You can tell people whatever you like.
Good day to you.
