If you think living wherever you do that you’re free and safe from these jackals just because they happen to be in the minority there, then I don’t know what to tell you. This is my home. And I’m not going anywhere. And it would be nice if you would recognize that we’re in this together.

The point where we're at the republican party needs to be designated a terrorist organization and republican voters need to be sent to reeducation camps until they're forced into a normal frame of reality. it sounds like you're not ready for that.

I would be delighted for this government to be dissolved to give way to the national guard of Illinois or whatever other scenario, but you can’t just abandon those of us who can’t escape and are doing the work of supporting our communities because we aren’t a majority.

You straight up just said you aren't leaving so don't try the "woe is me" angle now, pick one, either you can or you can't. leaving would be the best thing to do since it would give less political weight to voters in those areas when they start getting carpet bombed.

You either believe in the constitutional order or you don’t. And perhaps you don’t, but don’t expect to win any popularity contests telling me I have to become an internal refugee or be abandoned.

You're literally already choosing to remain neutral because "muh land and state", you weren't reasonable to begin with.

Who the said anything about being neutral? And don’t put that “muh state” bs on me, this is my home. I hate the local Republicans. I hate the republicans that are near you. Let’s fight them together.

"muh home" So you choose to live shoulder to shoulder with republicans. That says a lot about you. also good job ignoring the solution. bsky.app/profile/diss...

This is the entire point. These fascists are everywhere. Just because there are more of them here than there are where you are doesn’t mean that they aren’t there, or that you are morally superior to me because you live there and I live here.

The difference is that in more civilized places, republicans are political non-factors who no one listens to. also good job ignoring the solution. bsky.app/profile/diss...

Tell that to the lawmakers shot in Minnesota. Or the people gunned down at a grocery store a few years ago in Buffalo by a white nationalist. or are those places also “not civilized”?

Would you have had the whole of the French resistance decamp to England or elsewhere? No, because that is ridiculous and infeasible.
