“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” he said.

      The terrifying thing is that a sizable portion of this country reads this list and thinks it sounds like a great idea.

        Some of it. I don’t know that even a sizable portion of this country wants to raise prescription drug prices. I also think a very small percentage wants to get rid of no fault divorce or contraception. Even most Catholics are fine with contraception. And use it too.

        Raising the retirement age? I’d guess that their sizable voting bloc in their 60s wouldn’t be good with that.

        Honestly, I think the more people learn about this, the more they will find things they don’t like about it. Even Republicans.

          Even Republicans

          Yeah, but they mean all that for other people, not me!

          …hey, what’s that leopard staring at me for?

            I was going to make this point too, that regular Americans who support this stuff think it will only affect people they don’t like. Like how the presidential immunity only covers “official acts,” a term left completely undefined so they can claim things they like official and things they don’t unofficial.

            Of course, those broke removed on the ground aren’t going to get that same consideration and will get fucked same as “DA lIbZ”

        I’m surprised this graphic doesn’t mention banning porn and jailing those who produce and distribute it (page 5). Even for non-porn consumers, when you remember that they’re trying to lump non-explicit LGBT media in as porn (for example), that becomes a pretty dangerous stance.

        On this. You and I 100% agree. Which should be a shock for you coming from someone you mistakenly labeled conservative. I’m just anti authoritarian, but very pro solidarity.

          as long as we are doing any type of effective organization, everyone benefits.

        I’d like to get more involved with something, but not the SRA. Tried that and felt like it was not much more than burning $35 for the membership fees. I need something a little bit more substantial and a bit more cohesive than some discord channel.

          i can’t speak for the US, but there are plenty of bad orgs out there, sadly.

          i think its important to understand the theory behind it because it makes it easier to spot the good ones vs the bad ones vs the ones that won’t be effective.
