    A “resistance” against the will of the majority is generally called a terrorist organization.

    Progressive Americans, face it: Most of the people around you want this.

      George Carlin called it decades ago.

      The politicians are a reflection of us.

      Our PEOPLE suck.

      A fat, greedy, proudly ignorant, proudly racist, spray tanned elitist bully drunk on schaudenfreude is the perfect American mascot.

      He’s like the United States took human form. A monument to all our sins.

      If you still consider the rugged individualism we crow about a feature and not severe mental illness, you are infected with the disease. If you want winners and losers, go live in the forest and see if you live or die.

      Societies need to work together, and we have been trained in the spirt of capitalist competition🤮 to compete against eachother, to tear eachother down, to root against one another hoping to get moooaaaar for ourselves. This is the very opposite of a society.

      The first part is not true. The White rose and the french resistance in ww2 are both called “resistance”. So the distinction between terrorists and resistance is in the eye of the historian.

      I’m inclined to just let them have it at this point. I’m done fighting. Give me the coup de grace and let it be swift.
