    Yup. They handed us a gigantic two-handed war cudgel, and we are most definitely going to beat the everliving shit out of them with it each and every single election cycle.

    For as long as we’ve got it.

    Don’t arm your opponents.

        tbf, I’d just as soon they didn’t arm us. Then we wouldn’t really need to fight in the first place. This all starts in the first place when people start losing access to things. Reasonable health care, affordable education, right to vote, right to choose, right to have a not-fucked planet, these are not extreme demands.

        Then you just imagine the huge generation of boomers in the middle trying to make heads and tails of rapidly changing times. But lots of places have demographic challenges, we’re not alone in that.
