Hmmmmmmmmmm...... well, I'm going to afford them the same slack I give Trump. They get a little honeymoon period to get their shit together and try and improve the country. They have started out pretty rough with all the violence. I have hope for them.

That said, I do believe the bulk of the ferver directed at the new Furher :P is because Trump is not a Progressive and they know it, this makes him dangerous to the entire establishment. This is why you see GOP folks willing to go after Trump too.

It's gonna be a fun ride.

Agreed, he still hasn't rolled out the Brown Shirts he hasn't had a Reichstag Fire to get rid of Congress and he hasn't managed to Coopt the Media or Film to push his propaganda. C'mon Trump get with it. :lol:

The last two didn't help, but it's been going on for a long, long time. And Dan has talked about how there is no return to normalcy after periods of the threat. That said, I get your meaning. I'm a broken record, but as your meme says both parties are concerned, what it doesn't say is that both parties are Progs.

The government is the product of their party's beliefs, now that they lost said power to the another party they are angry that the other party is using the power they allowed the last president and congress to have to their whims... so instead of saying, "live with it" they have to live with it, and they don't like it.
This is how I see it, too. But I think what all of us need to remain focused on is how Congress can re-establish its role as a co-equal branch of gov't. Because gov't. by executive order is inherently unstable and a threat to our long-term viability as a nation.

Oh my. We really are going off the deep end...
Knights for Socialism? I guess they don't see the irony in using that term for themselves...

That they want to learn how to fight is a good thing in of itself. Good thing for anyone to learn. But their motive for doing so, the assumption of theirs that everyone to the right of an average Democrat is "out to get them", beat them (with flagpoles?) because "The" Right is all made up of Nazis....?

Just another example of a culture of paranoia, strawmanning and blowing differences out of proportion. It apparantly takes very little political difference of opinion to become "The Evil Bad Guys" these days.

Wow, radical college student militias, Awesome !
What the fuck, Carlus? Are you seriously strawmanning me as as saying that those militias are "awesome"? Read my damned post again, Carlus. Who the fuck do you think I am?
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

Yes it is, but if Trump does what he said he was going to do, which is start to give the power back to the people... I think we are going to start seeing a balance of power re-established in a few years time ultimately.
