1. I am sick of having "stuff to do"

why is it only DEMS work on democracy FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL

so fucking tired

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. They are counting on our exhaustion to clear the path for them to succeed. Nt

[Skittles]

4. THAT ALREADY HAPPENED

yup

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. They've only won an election

That doesn’t mean we have to give them the consent of the governed for four straight years.

13. honestly

the only way we will get any semblance of power back is WHEN THEY FUCK UP, and *THAT* is guaranteed - they ALWAYS fuck up, and Dems always have to spend years cleaning up their mess

12. Do it for yourself and for peoole you care about.

5. Past tired, in fact.

When I was 20, I would have been all over what Rachel said. I am now too old and too decrepit. Good luck to those who want to fight. For those who have nothing and can do nothing... well...

6. I'm sick of fighting for people who love fascism

we need to face it - anyone who votes for Trump absolutely does NOT believe in America - they EMBRACE fascism because they can never envision themselves as its victims

7. Im 50

Fuck em. This is my country, they want a fight, they got one

9. I am 60, but it is not the age that is the issue.

For me to say what you have said to anyone would just bring on peals of laughter. Especially when one sees the cane. What am I gonna do, wave it a them? These people have said they want to either kill our gay asses or kick us out of the country. They now have a nation of law enforcement and federal troops to use, not to mention several oligarchs to fund their whims. What do I have? An old .22 rifle and a sword that I can barely swing anymore.

Good luck. I hope you persevere.

10. I'm armed

I refuse to die at the hands of these people. If they want to kill me, they are going to have to work for it. If they come for my LGBTQ brothers and sisters, then they have to come through me. I may not succeed, but i will make them work for it.

I am not laying down.

We will make good trouble in what ever capacity we can.

Fuck these people

11. as an aside

There is an entire art to cane self defense. It's a real martial art BTW.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Yes, I know.

Unfortunately, even a master cane person cannot deflect bullets. This is the new age. These people are not going to wander around in mobs with baseball bats and pitchforks. They will be wandering around with AKs and shotguns. And, they are not going to actually go hands on unless they are sure they will not be harmed. So, they will just shoot us.

I ain't Bruce Lee. Never was. BTW, I am not saying I am going to lay down. I am saying my efforts will amount to nothing and there is no way I can protect myself or anyone else at this point in my body's deterioration. Bravado is not going to help me when they are kicking down my door. (But, some grenades would help. Know where I can get any?)

2. This is fucking what i wanted to hear

And its what i needed
