        I’m sure they already know who they are. Republicans have tried to kill those that depend on social safety nets for decades.

    I wonder what the combined financial net worth of this photo is because the calculation for the combined human value shown in this photo is easy

    That is zero

    Every single one of these people is a human rights violator and should be tried for such, along with being some of the most corrupt, hateful people in history.

      It wouldn’t help, there’s an unstoppable army of fuckheads that blindly vote Republican no matter who it is. At this point I’ve just given up entirely.

        It’s like 100 people pulling the strings. Those stupid people will vote in their best interest even if they don’t understand it, with disinformation removed from the picture.

    As an Australian I am constantly amazed that no matter how racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish and blatantly self-serving America’s government representatives are, you continue to vote for them.

    We arent so committed to the red vs blue ideology. If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

    Unfortunately, the way things are going, your vote might not make a difference for much longer.

      Doesn’t the coal industry control your government? And remind me where Rupert Murdoch came from.

      If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

      uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a factor to how America got to the way it is.

        To be clear, Australia is not perfect by a long stretch, but our politicians are much more discrete in their desire for enrichment, we also have a lot more guard rails in place to prevent it, while they are in office.

        While there is obviously big business trying to influence government decisions, that will always happen regardless of who we vote in. My point is, if the person you vote for isn’t clearly concerned with improving the lives of their constituents you should absolutely fuck them off and not continually vote for them for decades.

          Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.

          America is like the beta version of liberal democracy that launched far too soon with a constitution full of bugs and the developers decided to make it nearly impossible to patch.

        That’s no excuse… everybody knows the Republicans kept on cheating with gerrymandering and still Americans voted them in over and over.

      We’re flooded with disinformation. Even smart, left leaning people in my circle are spouting crazy lies as if it’s truth. It takes hours to dispell a single lie if they’re patient enough to listen, seconds to form it. It started maybe in 2016. 99% of our news and Internet search results are like Cold War propaganda. Don’t think it won’t happen to you either, I’m very sorry if it does.

      One of the parties is blatantly racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, and selfish, and they celebrate it, they are proud of it. The other party is not. The other party has issues, but they are worlds apart. There is no excuse not to aggressively vote blue at every opportunity.

    step one. dress one to two dozen terminal patients who are about to die from lack of health coverage as ice agents. masked up.

    step two. arm them.

    step three. wait for next congressional hearing. when they are all gathered together.

    step four. uphold the second amendment.

    the diabetics can save the US from the 1 percent.

      Killing some old white dudes with other old people is not the tactic to rely on.

      You need the young and radicalized who are terminal.

      I wish, wish, wish I had faith in the system, checks and balances, and all that bullshit.

      Violence should only be used in self defense when violence is going to be used on you, or to protect other who can not protect themselves.

      Fascism, sadly, only seems to understand pain and suffering. I suppose a clean kill is more merciful than that, though I can’t say I condone it outright.

        my friend, this is self defense.

        they are about to kill millions of americans. through neglect, and theft of their hard earned tax dollars.

        again.

        you should feel no guilt when a small group of mass murdering psychopaths feel the wrath of universal karma. your conscience is clean.

          How come literally everyone misses the part where they’re getting rid of renewable energy and completely obliterating nature and the climate? It’s not just going to be millions of Americans. It’s going to be million and millions everywhere.

      Sort of off topic from your comment but the reason arming people to protect liberty doesn’t work is because the people crazy enough to kill others don’t care about liberty.
