I thought I might gear up for the #4th by wearing my Biden/Harris tee and cap and jacket and underpants and, I don't know, fucking cape-flag, but then I remembered I don't have a bunch of clothing that tells people who I voted for in the last election because I'm not in a fascist fucking cult.

I'm no Party Pennant-waver and I think "patriotism" is a dumb abstract measurement of anything and an actual operative substitute for simple rationally throught-out policy prescriptions, so I don't really like to stack MY patriotism against someone else's but, that being said, it's also a pretty goddamn easy thing to do when you MAGA twats just tried to do an actual fascist coup d'etat to end America as a constitutional republic, innit?

You fuckstumps. You dimwit skiving slot-machine-eyed goatfucking neo-Nazi pricks.

"Durr hurr typical America-hating demoncrat, when the Biden Crime Family's..."

YOU BROWNSHIRT FUCKS TRIED TO DO A COUP. SIT THE FUCK DOWN, CLETUS.

If this seems a glib appraisal of more nuanced American cultural differences merely exacerbated by my dismissive stereotyping of standard boilerplate yokel neo-Nazis, let me say to those who espouse this that I have weighed your dumb opinions ad nauseum for six fucking years and look, just fuck off.

Unfollow me. I don't fucking care. Just maybe consider that actual Jesus-fetishizing kindly small-town Nazi pieces of shit working actively in every GOP-controlled state to burn books for having ideas and legislating people into NON-people because they don't love right don't get to colonize the #4th the way they think they do.

That whole right-wing white-trash trope where the guy says "You think you're BETTER than me?"

Well, fucking hell, if you're a dumb provincial bigot prick doing shit the Nazis did, yeah, I do. And everyone not exactly as stupid and awful as you should. That shouldn't even be remotely hard.

One person I genuinely miss from twitter is Mariya Alexander and I think this was her tweet once a long time ago that was basically "Say what you want about the guys who live in the apartment above me but they are objectively bad and I hate them."

Yup, and [gestures pretty stridently at pretty substantial hordes of American neo-Nazis and gestures at them again, almost cartoonishly, for emphasis]

I didn't want the courts to f up, and they didn't here in WI, but only by ONE VOTE, and the guy has been pilloried by his party ever since. A small part of me wants them to know how angry we really were. The other part knows that, had the coup run out, and the courts capitulated, violence would have ensued. We were waiting waiting waiting in WI for the court cases to conclude. No one wants to protest in January in WI, but we know from Scott Walker, people WILL show up.

I mean, are any of us really Biden voters without the taint tattoo?

@GrimmReality The political schwag I have is because I volunteered time for the campaigns. When I wear them, I have happy memories of working together with others to get out the vote.
