In the last TWO years america has sent $22 BILLION dollars of military equipment to israel. 60,000 Palestine people murdered. So the american people are paying approximately $367,000 per Palestinian death.

You should imagine getting them to fight for a ballot initiate. Get it on a ballot. Then vote for it. And it passes. Then the Feds tell you that your votes don’t count. And Americans celebrate. Thats been my experience since funding marijuana legalization in 2000. America is done. Over. Bye.

We need one big protest, HUGE, ANGRY, DETERMINED, and probably ARMED to get any results. This could trigger martial law, a civil war, or just a lot of arrests/injuries/deaths. But this peaceful protest stuff is not going to cut it. I am mad as hell, scared, disgusted, and overflowing with anxiety.

They also think that whoever's in president at the office that they're doing well financially is responsible. The only thing they truly want is financial freedom our grandparents had in the 1950s. That's what they're desperate for. They don't know how to get it back. And they listened to a con man.

I am not really sure if I follow this line of thinking that all they want is "financial freedom." If that was the case they would not be spending all of their time attacking 1% of the population (trans people). That will not lead them to freedom in anything and definitely not financially so.
