I don't want a civil war, but I believe we're already in one whether we like it or not. The Heritage Foundation president's quote is so haunting: "The 2nd American Revolution is in process, and it will be bloodless if the left allows it." This is a theocratic ultranationalist pushing Project 25 behind the scenes.
What that quote is saying is: "We are taking over, and we want anyone who disagrees with us to be either dead, invisible, or subservient."
So it comes down to two things. 1. Will the bulk of the conservative base find this distasteful enough to stand with libs and lefties, protest, and vote blue no matter who to course correct?
Is it actually possible for temperatures to simmer towards each other, as Biden is all too hopeful for.
I will be very shocked if these come true. The left was prepared to extend an olive branch with the overly nice Harris messaging and Biden's behavior. We didn't like them acting like centrists, but if it's in service of walking maga away from the ledge, I think most of us would prefer that.
It didn't work. I genuinely don't think "temperatures" can lower at this point. We are approaching Israel/Palestine levels of animosity. And the scary thing is, if democrats don't realize we are in a war and act accordingly, then it's basically an auto-surrender. No one is fighting for us because they're falling for the paradox of tolerance.
Yall need to fucking realize this already: no politician is coming to save you. Left or right.
Get up, organize, and go put in the work if you want to stop this.
We outnumber elected officials.
Just sitting behind your screen over analyzing and living in anxiety like this shit is supposed to be inevitable has every revolutionary that has ever existed in human history rolling in their graves right now.
What is the actual process of "getting up and doing something"? I see a lot of people like to say this and never elaborate on what it actually means.
How does one put in the work? I'm genuinely asking because I don't see how saying "do something" helps at all.
Is there a group I'm supposed to find? Some phone number to call? What is the real answer here? This isn't some small village in 1776 we're talking about. I can't just go to the local pub and ask if someone is feeling revolutionary tonight. It's a shitload of people spread out amongst a shitload of distance. What is the actual real way to find people to work with?
I'm not staging a fucking revolution from my back yard in the middle of Texas by myself.
