  • Fuck the unAmerican, unpatriotic assholes for cheating and stealing the very foundations of our ideals. This is what happens when these people weren’t held accountable for January 6th and the first attempt to overthrow our government. If they had been held accountable, they would not be able to hold government positions and oversight positions over the very things they tried to overthrow. They should have been charged with felonies and lost their right to vote, quite honestly.

    We’ve depended upon the courts to prevent the next insurrection, but they see either already corrupt as we’re seeing with the SC, or they’re toothless due to lack of precedent in this.

    We’re sleep walking into another civil war and the result will not depend upon right or wrong, but will be dependent upon who wields the power and weapons. We can’t depend upon the government or the military doing the right thing as trump will get rid of all the barriers that existed 4 years ago.



  • Fear. It’s that simple. An authoritarian mindset is one predicated on fear. After 9/11, Dick Cheney and George H. W. Bush used fear to drive their policies of restrictive freedoms. They pushed these through so they could amass additional powers and push government money towards their friends. Once these freedoms are gone, they almost never come back. The Republican party has been running on a campaign of fear ever since. Quite honestly, they’ve used fear as their driving force since the '80s. Back then it was fear of the Communists, and then it was fear of 'big government" and then it was fear of immigrants, or “the gays”, or restrictions of the second amendment, or caravans of people coming up from South America. Fear is the only thing that they can run on since they have no actual plans to move our country forward.

    That’s fascinating. Obviously, there’s a series of repeating numbers in there, and one of the numbers would have a highest number of repeats… until further places of pi are determined and another number knocks it off… I assume there’s a repeating 1, or 2 that repeats 7 or 8 times,etc… at some point…
