Bo Thompson: When folks talk about the US devolving into lawlessness if the Democrats match Republican strategies, I don't know how to take that seriously. If you're law-abiding and someone else isn't, that won't stop them from criminally victimizing you. Lawful behavior is no safeguard from lawless behavior.

it’s this

Meanwhile I'm ready to fistfight air bud. 🤣

“I mean I guess I’ll punch a dog at this point…”

It's a metaphor! In reality air bud is a good boy!

And he better stay that way, because I'm not above a personal foul for my freedoms. 😤

No lay ups

This also needs a space jam crossover

Overheard

don’t do me like that

At least you used quotes!

Banger

Add six years to that tweet

a lot of them really seem to believe that though that if they play by the rules, nothing bad will happen it’s honestly breathtaking

They'll play by the rules up to and including obediently stepping down and letting democracy die when they blow the election. "Well it was a good run. Here are the keys sir." What's the point in saving a system that ties your hands and leads you to fascism?

"As long as I gave it my all I'm happy to let fascism win" LIBERALS ARE YOU LISTENING HE SAID IT NOT US

Very reminiscent of RBG refusing to step down to wait for the first woman president and didn’t let any younger democrat judges take her place, and now we have our 6-3

Right????

I want my apology from that fucker who dragged my ass for calling that out, too.

Like, while I think a lot of people in office are being kind of puppeted around and it is absolutely a form of elderly abuse, I think we can all agree that these fuckers are/were selfish assholes and prove that no politician has any empathy for the people they serve no matter what “side” you choose

My all* *Actually refusing to take the steps I am now capable of due to not actually finding fascism to be all that much of a threat.

Of course it's not a threat to him, he's probably going to keel over before the end of the week at this rate.

You know how vader can keep himself alive by running on pure hatred? That's gotta be the only explanation trump is still kicking as much as he is. If we were lucky they'd depart on the same day.

They want fascism. It's the same machine. They work towards the same goal.

Your assumption that we are more likely to win if he steps down is not one that I share. And not every tactical disagreement means the other party is pro fascism

I’ve come to believe they’re not this naive. They want this result. Think of all the money there’s to be made by pretending to oppose fascism.

The immovable object, soon to meet its march

god i hope not 😭😭😭

Like... We passed that threshold four years ago when people were shitting on the floor in the Capitol. That ship has sailed. Those who have paid attention have known for a while that this election was going to be an unprecedented dirty clusterfuck. Get in the mud and fight for your lives Ds!

This will never stop being relevant.

Liberalism and the Magic Circleestrusflask.medium.com Opening: Here’s an idea: Are politics just a game? And if they are… maybe it’s time for us to stop following the rules.

Democrats have the chance to do some really funny/beneficial shit right now but won't 😩

It seems the two classes of people most likely to get into decision making positions are either the maximally ruthless ones, or the ones who learned what it means to be a good person in kindergarten and followed orders thereafter without ever adding any nuance to those values.

Also the Democrats have always been baby bitches. Prolly cuz they don't wanna hurt their golfing buddy's feelings. Won't let genocide and human rights get in the way of their palsy walsy best friend connection.

I partake in lawless behavior allllllll the time. Call me when we need shit burnt down. I'm not good with intricacies and human interaction. Which is prolly why I do lawless shit all the time.
