Mr. Smith, a special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, had signaled that he would step down before Donald J. Trump’s inauguration.
Unfortunately there’s a limit to ‘‘rilled up’’ for intelligent people, because eventually you just stop engaging with politics because you need to survive and paying attention is fucking exhausting.
Yes. A rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours. But it’s FUCKING EXHAUSTING to try and get everyone else to show up and care. They hardly ever will. I put a lot of effort into the Sanders campaign. Fuck tons of engagement and groundswell, all the buzz was buzzing. Those fucks NEVER SHOWED UP TO VOTE ON VOTE DAY!! I don’t know how or why or have any analysis to point to. It’s just fucking exhausting.
What a silly thing to say. In some very rare instances, that most people will never encounter in their lives, fighting is the smartest thing to do. In all other cases it’s probably the dumbest thing to do.
I would say most people had a bully attempt to see if they can bully them in school or other places. And those who fought back made it clear bullying them is costly and got peace. Those who gave in got years of harassment.
Going out of your way to use violence is often stupid, or having it as your only resort to handle a conflict. But categorically excluding it is often very stupid and at best a sign of an privileged life, where the privileges acted as a shield from violence.
“Radicalized libs” is an oxymoron. “Radicalized leftists,” sure, but “libs” are centrist (if not center-right) by definition.
Edit: I should’ve said “moderate” rather than “centrist,” as my point was more about this sort of thing than pinning down exactly where libs fit on the political spectrum.
Oh it goes for so much more than just that, although those are obviously the most at risk. The minority groups are just who they’ll come after first so we better stand by them when it happens.
…and if he wants to stay out of prison and/or live he might want to get the fuck out of the USA pronto after resigning.
Absolutely. He needs to leave immediately. Retaliation is guaranteed.
Counterpoint: if he becomes a political prisoner, a ton of libs get radicalized

Eh I’m open to getting a little stupid. Hmu
How stupid are we talking
Fairly stupid
I feel bad that I feel like this
Often fighting is the smartest thing to do. Not fighting is not a sign of intelligence.

Probably not a bad idea in general.
This is true, and incredibly fucked up. Have to flee for pursuing facts and attempting to enforce the rule of law.
That’s fascism for you. That’s where the US is headed
That honestly goes for anyone who’s a protected minority
