it is becoming more and more obvious to those who couldn’t see before that you cannot vote fascism out of power. we are rapidly approaching a countrywide breaking point. i don’t know from which side or what angle, but there is a lot of anger and only one group (anyone Left of Republicans) has the moral high ground. we are not going to demonstrate or talk our way out of the pockets of the oligarchy. if not now, when? when will it be time?
Comment on Missouri governor repeals paid sick leave law approved last year by voters

This governor should be removed from fucking office now, and I don’t mean a recall or impeachment. If the voters vote a law in the fucking governor shouldn’t be able to remove said law. Only fucking voters should get to do that

We are well past that … America is like a person who gets a massive dose of radiation. They feel fine right after, but their body can no longer make new cells…so they end up dying a few days later.
America has had the dose of radiation, she’s just waiting for the effects

This isn’t even the first time they’ve overriden voter choice.
Hell, it’s not even the twentieth time.

Same voters will reelect him and the legislators that created the bill

The voters put legislators in office that crafted this repeal. The governor didn’t just unilaterally do it.

Welcome to America, the game show where your votes don’t matter and you’ll get deported by ICE if you defend your rights.

I welcome them to try it. We’ll all race across life’s finish line, together.

“I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees,” as the saying goes…
Certainly does beg the question though, as to what happened to all those ‘dont tread on me!’, ‘muh 2nd mendment’ people who seem intensely concerned about their right to bear arms against an unlawful oppressor conveniently right up until one shows up…

That’s the brilliant part.
They were led to believe the government could go after them physically, and that’s what they’re looking for, while they steal their healthcare and education and infrastructure, while deporting the cheap labor they were exploiting in their farms and depriving them of income.
They’re tightly watching their front door, ready to shoot the first person getting close to it, while the rest of their house is being robbed blind…

Indeed. I’m wondering as well. But I come from new York city, where the saying was always: talk is cheap.
