    “Hey, this building is on fire! Stop sitting around asking for money and tell me where to find the extinguisher!”

    Can we just focus on the fire?

      Yes, let’s focus on the fire because the fire is actually people doing harm and are real people, not some entity that got out of control. Let’s focus on everyone, all of America, going after the r’s. They’ve walked back tons of shit. We can only stop them if we ALL go after them.

        Then we agree. Rather than watch what’s happening, let’s focus on what action to take.

            Exactly. Thank you. We want to know what to do, besides donate to d’s. Will anyone organize a resistance? Could our polite, play-by-the-book-that-was-incinerated leaders maybe just push through the play-acting muskovite incel guard and enter the building, thus displaying a fucking spine? I don’t know what to do because I’m not an elected d. But if I was, I’d know I need to do more than throw up my hands.

          This meme is exactly how I can tell that you’re distracting yourself from the real issue. Here is how you can help.

          At work:

          • Did you hear that they took over the entire education department and took access of everyone’s education records?
          • Did you hear that they wouldn’t even let democrats in to oversee them taking all of the education records of every student?

          At home:

          • Honey, did you know that the republicans took access to every education file and student file? Isn’t that crazy? Did anyone talk about that?
