Yeah probably. Doesn't mean I'm even slightly wrong.

If the state orders or allows their cops to assist, that was the state's decision. Bazinga.

I'm sure the gay people murdered by the cops due to conservative policy will rest a little bit easier knowing they were killed by a state trooper and not a federal marshal

Origins new avatar is super disturbing.

If you're an inch or two closer to blaming the right people I did good.

There's an epidemic of gay people murdered by cops? That's..... convenient.

The good news about blaming conservative ideology for most problems is that you're rarely wrong.

The bad news is that they don't have the organ that permits guilt or self-reflection.

I have more than words to offer!

Power people just want to win. Principles are flexible. It's not the principles that have to win, it's the people seeking the power. But the test of any democracy is how well it manages shared but competitive government.

Power people are a problem, but they aren't the norm by any stretch. The bulk of power fetishists are more or less powerless people, just citizens with minimal bank. Normal person. Can be a next-door neighbor, watching oven porn.

The basic system we got is built out of "share but compete" people. This is why the Republican Party has really slipped down several notches on the dignity scale, as well as the plausibility scale.

They are running this top-down Strong Man, Fuhrer-princip routine, aka fascism, amplifying it down to the rubes, many of whom are eating it up. It's a sign of a party in disarray, and no better ideas.

Democracy is a solution to the problem of power. That the people often can't grok. Because they are a bunch of pussies, really. As if the world revolves around which *party* holds the executive branch for 4-8 years? That a non-rational thought.

Things only get hairy if we break the system. That's why Trump is no Dubya, and not even a Nixon.

You can start by sacking Tbilisi, given that Republicans control both state chambers and the governorship.

If you actually think that's happening, I mean.

I tend to assume for strategy's sake that my opponents are highly organized and well funded. I mean, they have like 99.9% of the rich people on their side, and the vast majority of law enforcement.

I do not think Trump supporters give one single shit about democracy, free speech, or the freedom to choose. That's all doublespeak meant to interrupt lib spellcasting. This is why it is hilariously easy to find hypocrisy in the ideas of Trump supporters, their entire "ideology" is just a decoy for the powerful to obtain more power.

I think it's only this hairy because we haven't already broken the system. Which dead person he's most like isn't helpful to me, but it's Napoleon III. Democrats are generally almost as awful as the Republicans they're supposed to be protecting us from. If there's one area where they consistently agree on it's locking out third parties.
