@SIfill: A second insurrection. Stop comparing these people to the founders. They are the Confederacy.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

a bunch of evil, stuck-up landowners overthrowing their government to avoid taxes-- if the shoe fits!

This appears to be a response to the post and not the article.

Yes.

OK. Well, the post is a reference to the claim to which I'm responding. It is not my formulation.

I feel like @nkjemisin.bsky.social nailed it with her observation on why they compare themselves to the revolutionaries. bsky.app/profile/nkje...

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

Yeah like they already had their second American revolution and they lost. This is the third one at least

The President of the Heritage Foundation should check himself into a mental institution. Or be involuntarily committed.

*should be yeeted into the sea with pockets full of rocks.

Well maybe. See what the medical team has to say first.

He's not mad, he's bad.

See I think threatening violence is indeed mad. Time out required.

Agree, we the people have the power to stop this MAGA (aka: Nazi movement) takeover of our country. Many of us had relatives who died in WWII to stop Hitler and it is insulting to hear Americans supporting the likes of tRUMP.

⬆️ 💯

Didn’t read. WAPO. Saw his quote about blood being shed the other day. Mighta said sumthin here bout it.

hear hear

the first one never stopped.

Yep. And it's a tired old trick, too. The Constitution already was the result of a major backlash against democracy.
