    The largest protest movement in the history of the USA was due to BLM. People were masking up and risking their fucking lives to protest against police brutality. The Dem establishment, the media, all colluded (either wittingly or not, it makes no difference post-facto, for any lib nerds that wanna get mad at me for saying this) to water down, misrepresent, or outright deny the relevance or messaging of the movement. Sometimes they did both!

    Imagine if they had turned those marches into opportunities to register to vote. Imagine if they had said "we hear you and we're with you, we need change in this country, we need racial justice" instead we got hand wringing over what "defund the police" means despite the fact that its a slogan, not the real idea being discussed at-large, but saying "we need to re-allocate police resources to non-police community oriented advocacy and public health etc etc" isn't really conducive to a street chant. I mean... just... I'm losing the ability to type coherently I am so fucking mad. Imagine if during the anti-Vietnam War protest era the media had chortled and chuckled its ass constantly clucking about what "hell no - we won't go" means. "Ho ho ho, they mean they won't Go To The Bathroom? ho ho ho. They seem to be Going to the Republican national convention. A bit hypocritical, right?" It's a level of rhetorical disservice that should normally belong to the Tucker Carlsons or whoever that punchable egghead at ONN is. No. Everyone knew it was about Vietnam.

    EVERYONE FUCKING KNEW WHAT BLM MEANT. THEY HAD THE ENTIRE CONCEPT DOWN TO THREE FUCKING WORDS AND THEY LET IT GET TWISTED IN THE WIND BY REACTIONARY FUCKS.

    Protester: "Black lives matter!" Some dipshit: "Oh so white lives don't matter?" Protester: "wtf I never even brought up white people"

    Libs have taken this stupid check to the bank like ten thousand times in the last year and yet when protesters say "defund the police" they shit the bed. It's you, you fucking liberal ingrates who are now purposefully, willfully, taking a slogan out of context because it makes you uncomfortable. Fuck you. Fuck you. Take this fuck to the bank and cash it up your fucking ass you pieces of shit.

    Again, it was the largest mobilization of protest in this country and it occurred directly under and served as an indictment of the presidency of Donald Trump and the libs looked this gift horse right in the teeth and then sold them down the river. Fucking snakes. Wait I take that back, snakes have spines. These ghouls are worms.

    Edit: Jesus, see what I mean? I can't even close the argument lmao. What I'm trying to say here is that the dems are fucking losers who can't do shit. They had a real opportunity for a grass-roots based movement for change, and they could have mobilized the masses to help achieve their goals, and they pissed it all away. And now one rich white asshole is stopping them from getting anything done. Born to lose.

      Good post.

      I wish I could say something to lift your spirits but I'm as angry as you are. The only thing diffuses at least some of the anger is that I come here to laugh, tell some jokes, and shit post. If this site was ever forced to shutdown I think I would go postal.

        I'm actually in otherwise good spirits. I am channeling righteous anger. Keep your hate pure, comrade.

      Libs are worse than fascists because at least the fascists tell the truth about what they want to do to you
