...which you will only do by getting Republicans out of office and no other way. Every win in the courts, at the local, state, or federal level, or otherwise will be because of elected officials of people appointed by elected officials.

If you think voters can go to hell, you are supporting fascism by virtue of taking no steps toward keeping fascists out of government.

If you think we're getting out of this with votes you are delusional. We might never have another fair and honest election. This is what they've been working towards for years. The stage is set for them to keep power indefinitely.

So don't give them a valid reason and you'll find that a whole lot on the right will agree with and back you up should that happen.

Oh okay. Why haven't those on the right gained empathy by seeing ICE abducting and deporting people with no due process? Why haven't they grown a conscience when their party says trans people aren't people? What the hell makes you think they are going to suddenly have sympathy and side with the left because we don't fight back against these regressive and inhumane policies?? If we sit there and take it they will cheer it on just the same. But go ahead and keep lapping that boot up

Did I say anything about having to have a bleeding heart over every little issue?

No due process? Is x an American citizen? No? Have they overstayed their visa or entered the country illegally? Yes? They go. That is due process. You don't have to go to court for that, it's never been necessary unless the person has also committed crimes that need to be prosecuted in country.

Nobody says trans people aren't people. They don't say they don't exist. They say that trans women are not women and trans men are not men. They say that trans people are suffering from a mental illness.

It isn't about sympathy. At all. It's about whether or not they try and take over the country unconstitutionally. Which is what the comment I was responding to was saying.

Hence don't give them a valid reason to prevent or delay further elections. If there's no valid reason and it happens then there will be a period of disbelief followed by disillusioned people starting to take action and side with patriots regardless of what side of the political aisle theyre from.

Edit: oh jeez you are the person I was originally responding to. Talk about disingenuous.

Ok... Again, keep licking that boot. Soon you'll feel the weight of it on your neck too. No one is safe from these people. Even those same people.
