Well, look at us. Because we're the ones changing and adapting, not them. A year ago, we would be wailing helplessly that, because we're so inept at 'messaging', "all they have to do is repeatedly lie that the shutdown is the Democrats' fault and it would work".

Meh, not so much now. They can put up signs that the shutdown, and every other damn thing, is 'on the Dems'. But it's just not sticking. Rather than 'sending strongly-worded letters', we (all of the Resistance) is screaming FUCK YOU and pushing back. Citizens, dull-witted as they are, have started noticing. They're also noticing how little it takes to make the GOP Overlords cower. Are we using everything we have? No, not yet. But the erstwhile Masters Of The Universe are now holed up on military bases because we're all so scary. Wooooah!

I appreciate the reminder that we - through sheer numbers and resilience - are still stronger than ICE. Let’s keep going, friends!

As far as I’m concerned, almost all politicians are criminals. The tech broligarchs are all building bunkers. I’ve kind of given up worrying about a nuclear holocaust since I worried about it throughout my childhood but if I were younger and had a family I might start digging my fallout shelter now.

Thank you for another great Friday discussion. What do you think of Trump's war on Venezuela? Will American soldiers die on foreign soil once again for the oligarchs?

Yes. Yes they will. The first hero coming home in a body bag will move things to a new level. Interviewing the mother, ask her "why was your son in Venezuela"? Then stand back.
