    I get it. I avoided the national spectacle of the 2016 election, and avoided most political news for most of the Trump presidency. I voted blue every chance I got and went about my life trying to ignore the MAGA corruption.

    But the 2020 election and subsequent insurrection attempt woke me the fuck up. Our democracy, and really US politics for the foreseeable future, are at stake. We need to Republicans to be absolutely neutered, or this blight is going to continue until something breaks.

    We have to be angry. We have to shut these fascist fucks down hard so they slink back into the shadows.

      Yelling at people on the Internet until I get an anuerysm is not “shutting the fascist fucks down.” Wasting my time trying to debunk some gish galloper or sea lion when I have other shit to do is not “shutting the fascist fucks down.” Hearing every stupid word that comes out of that giant orange anal cysts mouth will not change anyone’s mind and will only make me miserable.
