Please exercise Maximum Restraint. All that we have and more will be yours too. We even have a new Flotilla that will help you. 🌹 How, you ask? Well, isn’t someone a little doubter. Isn’t someone a little freak who doesn’t want me to enjoy this scrumptious labor time. Out of pure hate, too. Do you have any idea how fascist it is to judge me for my entertainment systems?

    More people are waking up with every evil thing this administration does.

    Also the only metric that equals administration bad for some people is changing: Gas prices.

      It isn’t a problem with the admin alone, but the system itself. Imperialism is what runs the US Empire, be it dem or rep admin.

        Yeh, but you gotta take it one step at a time with people who think politics doesn’t affect them and are just becoming aware.

        If you come at them too hard, they will get scared. I find it easier to point to the things the current admin is doing as an easy example of, “This is not ok.”

          Yep, but you have to take it further too, connect the dots. Just showing the first dot won’t help when systemic change is the correct path, and that requires an all-encompassing view.

            It also requires a person to change their worldview, which takes time. Don’t forget to give people grace while they are exploring their biases.

            (I am aware that gaining political sentience is very late at this time, but better late than never)

              Yep, just that you have to give them somewhere to go. Planting seeds isn’t enough, water and adequate sunlight need to be available and the soil has to be fertile.
