Republican state Senate candidate arrested after punching woman in face at abortion rights rally. He's a cop, too

In his defense, he thought cops in America were allowed to get violent whenever they want with no repercussions. (Reads that back. Cant tell if it needs a “/s” or not. Is it sarcastic, or accurate?)

I’m starting to think some people who claim to be on the “left” are just as excited about the prospect as the right wing are…

Au contraire, while you guys will be killing each others, we will be invaded by Russia. Also your Left is probably outgunned.

Oh, even better. You don’t even live here. Spectacular.

Just a note, that things that have NOT happened are not inevitable, except when people give up and act like they are. So, there is no civil war here, and you have not had your country invaded. The more people ACT like it’s already happened, the more they win. So feel free to continue to give them the victories they crave, or maybe stop acting like these things have already happened.

Bleak future you’re trying to speak into being. Remember to save one bullet after you’ve been invaded.

This is the US - buying guns would hardly be an issue in the scenario you’re trying to encourage.

Also, one guy with a huge arsenal is still just one guy. Those assholes are a small minority, and know it. That’s why threats of violence are their go-to response to pretty much everything.

Just fill their bunkers with concrete.

Slowly fill, after pouring a bottle’s worth of this down the ventilation shafts.

ETA, are we going to ensure they’re using the bunkers first? If so, I’d also like to suggest yelling down, “this is the best metaphor we found for having to share the planet with people like you”.

Sadly, it is unavailable to order currently. I could think of a few, more organic, approaches though. (Speaking as a dweller in a rural area where poultry litter and pig shit are routinely spread on the fields.)

If you think the United States is so clearly divided that a civil war is inevitable I’d like to offer this take from the heart of a “red” state.

They’ll only have so much food stored. Natural selection will do the rest.

Honestly, someone who punches a woman in a crowded room strikes me as having poor impulse control and not likely to be good at playing a long game.

He probably became a cop for the reason most white men do- it’s a straightforward route to authoritarian power for working class people who otherwise will never have access to that. They tell themselves it’s because they wanna “catch bad guys”. Then later he saw all these unqualified clowns getting elected to office lately and thought “hey I can do that”.

Your detached irony isn’t working. Have you tried turning it off but not on again?

Fuckin’ A.

Defeatism is not only unhelpful a/f, it seems really lazy and complacent.
