If you listen, you hear her quite understandably surprised reaction with a scream, and then she asks to call the police, only to be told “we’re the police.” None of them are in uniforms. Most of them are masked.

Frightening.

    Okay, fair. But we need to be allies in this. I don’t know where to start either but I want us to pull out of it somehow.

    Help build us up, please, and not tear us down. I apologize for discounting you. We can only move forward if we unify, and the left is goddamned bad at that.

      No apology needed, I’m a dick. Just wish more people would be seething with rage about all of this as I am. Feels like the left is too placid, too timid, too laissez-faire with the great gift hard won with blood and iron by their forefathers.

        I’m seething, but that isn’t all that useful, I need to find a more productive way to be.

        Hopefully we will get there. But we have to build before we can break down.

        If that victory is won, and I do believe it can be, then we can rebuild better than before.

        With climate change and everything else we face, can we realistically pull through? Fuck if I know, but this is literally the fight of our lives and futures. We have to unite, no matter how angry we are at various leftist factions.

        Me? I assumed women would unify for their right to bodily autonomy. Since they didn’t I don’t dismiss them but hope to bring them into the fold, because they’re needed and do not want to live as Handmaids, for one example.
