Fighting for Democracy Everyday @rhopper03.bsky.social · 15h

This scares the hell out of me. What kind of a country have we become? Mean, cruel, too lazy or too uneducated to stand up for our democracy? Nearly 40% of Americans believe the US military should be turned on its own people? That 40% aren’t American. They may be MAGA but they ARE NOT Americans.

Nearly 60% of Americans don’t want troops deployed to our cities without the presence of external threats. Trump’s ICE and military actions in several USA cities are NOT popular #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

He realized the massive markup on drugs and decided to put his tiny hands into that too
I would never buy my rx from anyone in the regime. I’d worry about dilution & tampering to increase profits

They have been watering down education since the 80’s when the tv preachers told them to start with the PTA & school boards. The arts have been basically nixed because of free expression. Logic & Philosophy, history & poetry almost deleted from curriculums because it makes kids think!

I’m hoping the others will make similar announcements. If nothing else, to quell the fear growing before it erupts into rage

The only country to fear expulsion is the USA. Most of the EU countries have made side deals between themselves for protection from the USA

BREAKING: Republican Governor of Oklahoma comes out blasting deployment of National Guard from Texas to Illinois. Calls it a violation of States' Rights. MAGA and Trump are increasingly isolated on this -- as they should be. We will not stop until this insanity ends.

Obama is the only president who has worked for the common good. MAGA politicians have reneged on their oaths and should all be impeached

How can a group be so stupid to not understand - most of the western world is ANTIFA in some way. We don’t carry ID cards but I’m guessing we will have badges we must wear soon

Words We're Watching: 'Antifa'

Seeing the list scared me
That breakdown in the chain of command leads to mistakes. Costly, deadly, globally worrying, mistakes. On top of all the illegal shit going on ??
