The slow walk to fascism just broke into a sprint [View all]

As the silent Dems sit on their hands mouth shut or hold their little signs.

Alert on this post if you choose, but if you don’t like the truth, then just keep lying to yourself that the concept of rules and decorum will still win the day.

But what should they do? Do like the repukes do to us; heckle, berate, call him a liar, chant bullshit. As long as we don’t, he will continue to believe he controls it all.

If on national tv a unified democratic congress chanted at the top of their lungs bullshit over and over, the orange asshole would get a hard taste of reality and would be put off his game and rattled.

He knows they won’t do that he knows that he can say any and all fucking halfwitted shit he wants without any repercussions at all. And that’s how he wins. If you want to fight a bully, you have to throw sand in their eyes.

I am so fucking disgusted. We were once the party that fought hard and took no shit from anyone. That party hasn’t existed for a very very long time.

And it fucking damn shows
