    This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society

      Gonna get downvoted, but conservative ideals should be present to some minor extent to balance things out. I don’t mean modern conservatives or Republicans, but the concept of fiscal conservatism (e.g. preventing waste in the military). I’m not talking about the fIsCaL cOnSeRvAtIsM that current Republicans preach either, like hollowing out social programs to give tax cuts to their buddies. So yeah that’s of course not what we have now, but there should be a healthy balance for that kind of thing.

        The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it’s just basic competence in governance. It’s an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.

        The people who say this tend to forget that if you only take the “good things” from conservatism it ceases to be conservatism. The conservative ideology is garbage and only leads countries to a sort of destructive cannabalism.

        You won’t get downvoted. Ideally you’d have both parties suck it up and work together and combine ideologies. But… well you know… Babies

        Describing the good of the opinions that are more on the right side of the spectrum isn’t going to come across as good if you use conservatives to describe it.

      Hopefully it’s just Civil War II and not WWIII. The rest of the world doesn’t deserve to be dragged into our shit.

        Even if it was just contained to US soil we’d still call WWIII like we do with the World Series.

        Whether it’s because of us or fascism is just trending globally, the rest of the world is already thoroughly dragged into our shit. We’re not the only ones having this fight, we’re just the most-visible and possibly furthest-along outside of Russia, Turkmenistan, North Korea, etc.

        It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

    I’m in Philly and I read local reports of I.C.E. Raids… 😖 (I’m a US Citizen, but I’m not white)

    Just google “Philadelphia ICE Raid” and you’ll the what I’m talking about.

    I saw some reports that some college kids at Temple University, are pretending to be ICE agents and harassing people, they got suspended (hopefully expelled). They are facing charges of impersonating the authorities. (probably getting a pardon by their nazi in chief)

      That’s not balanced though

      also, why are we burning nitromethane?

    In my country you need to be accused of being a communist in order to be arrested. Well sometimes there were no accusations just arrests, but at least we were an official dictatorship.

    Signed: anywhere in South America in the 80s

    Epiphany: are climate scientists a tool of communist hoaxes? Dang, you’re all getting arrested soon aren’t y’all

        JLD was only in 30 Rock during a live episode where she was a stand-in for Tina Fey.
