    If this is the mentality you’re gonna approach this situation with, you’re cooked. The demented orange asshole is already building a dictatorship and democrats barely give a shit. “Fearing the consequences” isn’t something they do because there are no consequences as we’ve seen multiple times. You gotta make them fear for their lives. And you gotta give people a real alternative to the oligarchy that is the US.

    A man rubs a lamp and a genie comes out and says, “I will grant you one wish, anything you ask for, whatever you can imagine, your wish is my command.”

    The man shouts, “I want a dragon!”

    The genies responds, “I’m sorry, but a dragon is just too much, it’s just not possible for that to exist. Can you think of something else?”

    The man thinks for a minute and says, “Well, in that case, I guess I wish for the rich and powerful to face significant legal consequences within the existing system for the harm they do to regular people.”

    The genie sighs and says, “What color did you want that dragon?”

        Purple is a fine color to use while employing alternative methods of holding people accountable when they control the courts and the senate

        Stalin couldn’t have done it without the vast amounts of money the US sent his way (Russian nationalists don’t like to talk about Lend-Lease), and without the US and Western European countries fighting the Nazis on a second front.

        Even then, Stalin’s psycopathy and ruthless incompetence caused far a far higher casualty rate than on the western front. He was fine throwing infantry into the meat grinder in a war of attrition, because Russia had more bodies than Germany did.

    It’s going to be fun watching all of these traitors stand trials for their crimes.

    Unfortunately the democrats are made up of assholes like Pelosi and Schumer who are just there to get rich.

    Well, unless the Dem voters quit expecting their reps to do something about the situation, it’s not gonna change.
