If we're going to talk about political violence, let's talk about who started it:

And over 90% of political violence over the years has come from the right.

Trump started it & the spineless cowards formerly known as the GOP & his sycophants push it. A judge's house burned to the ground, an FBI trainee fired for flying the Pride flag at their home, unaffordable healthcare, families torn apart, this regime revels in the violence #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

(caps for EMphasis, not yelling )

While we're talking political violence, and feeling good about being right,
they're actually doing political violence and calling it rain.

We're wasting a valuable life and not helping our children's children's children by

a) arguing with those who hate instead of just talking with them,
b) patting ourselves on the back about being on the right side of history,
c) patting each other on the back about being right.

trump is not just getting Americans used to military occupation,
HE IS GETTING HIS MILITARY USED TO OCCUPYING AMERICANS.

We are waaaaay past "If we're gonna talk... let's talk history" memes.

Daily, when we're away from this DU site...

We are on a moving train. Not one of us can be neutral on a moving train.
