    It’s going to be so much fun seeing these people arrested and tried after the coming civil war.

        Something will happen, eventually. One thing is historically certain, authoritarian governments like this eventually collapse under the weight of their own incompetence. You can’t operate a government with incompetent, ignorant loyalists, and expect it to succeed, especially when ALL the competent leadership and management are in the resistance.

        Intelligent people will ALWAYS beat idiots, no matter how big or strong they are. If nothing else, you just wait for the idiots to destroy themselves. Fighting them is just to speed up the process.

          Yeah just look at Russia. Any day now, they’ll break out of their 1000 years of despotism.

    “I have to tell you – one of my favorite things to watch on YouTube these days are … court hearings where illegals are in court and Ice shows up to drag them out of court and deport them,” the South Carolina representative said during an appearance on Sunday on Fox Report Weekend.

      I think thats the sickest part. She could have said she delights in seeing violent criminals getting rounded up. She could say anything really. Its not like honesty is required of her (in her opinion).

      Instead she admits she delights in seeing them interfere with the system. If she was referring to immigration court then these are people doing exactly what we ask of them. If this is criminal court, they are already caught and there isn’t a need to abduct them from the courthouse.

        Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain’t it? (/s)

        Those “positions of power” only have power because we collectively “agree” to concede to their authority.

        We could always collectively organize to do something else … but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.

          If the majority of voters are voting for this, then that’s your majority willing to collectively organize to do something.

            “But if we avoid using the tools of democracy to create positive change and instead encourage people to not vote and be apathetic, we can make the human experience objectively worse for everyone. And, if we do it hard enough, and ensure that enough vulnerable people are sacrificed, it will magically turn those apathetic people into class l-conscious revolutionaries that are willing to die violent deaths for our version of utopia.”

            I wish this were a “/s”.

          The problem is you want real actual change for the better, most voters just want their team to win because they think it’s the lesser of two evils.

    I was just thinking about the old “not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”. Well now they see it as hurting the people that need to be hurting. This is who they are.

    Psycho. Hope you experience half the misery in your life you help inflict on others.
