Too old to remember a lot of stuff. But I recall how to not be a fascist pumpkin.
I was looking this topic up today and I thought this was thoughtful. The comments haven't aged well from 2022. All the "yeah but tyranny" people are doing shit while unarmed protesters are addressing overreach.

No 2A doesn't mean no guns. I do not understand the obsession with its existence.

Does a provision about guns belong in the U.S. Constitution?

I could agree that Global Aid is not the sole responsibility of the US, but abdicating leadership in this area is the opposite of humanism.

this should be a huge story but I didn't see anything on MSM (though I admit it's limited to AP News and BBC these days).

Also, can't we go a day without some sort of travesty from this Administration?
(WSJ) Once again, Trump wants to walk all over the Constitution by inserting Federal agents into elections, BUT ONLY in cities and states that he lost. The Constitution gives the states the exclusive right to run elections. Trump: Criminal to the max.

Maintain immigration and border controls, sure.

But when you have to resort to wanton cruelty and be numb to the suffering of fellow humans in doing so, it is no longer that. Then that speaks more to your base nature than it is about your policies.

I like the word "fuck" and I'm all for using it when the situation calls for it, but I also like the words "impeach" and "hold accountable."

And I realize we don't have the majority necessary to impeach, but do we not say words anymore because we don't have the majority? SAY WORDS.

Trump has no ideology beyond ignorant petulance. RFKJr, on the other hand, is wreaking havoc on HHS through ideology rather than the "Gold Standard: science he purports to proffer.

Does it matter? IDK. Both are destructive but I am less surprised by the path of HHS
