As my daddy would say: 'We dont start the fight, but we sure will end it'👍🏼

I’ve felt that way since Roe…..

Will there be handbaskets?

<3 <3 <3 YES!!!!!!!!

I'm with you sister!

There is no more high road in this battle. From here on out - we go as low as they do. We are in the "Whatever it takes" phase of this fight from here on out!

We show our faces. They hide theirs.

That's a good idea because these people think you are just a baby machine who shouldn't have the right to vote. Christian Nationalism: www.youtube.com/shorts/JGoym...

So are men the kind of people that a sticky mess comes out of, and in addition cause 99% of wars, so how about relighting them to the back row with no vote? Asking for a friend...

This video shows the way Christian Nationalists think. I am not any type of Christian.

🤦🏼‍♀️

The fucking NERVE!!

Nono it is not about matching energy but instead about finding balance both in yourself and with others. What do you believe is important, and what can you take responsibility for in achieving it?

🤷🏻‍♀️

Me too

One Texas.org. This is a direct way to support the Texas Democrats that left the state of Texas to stop gerrymandering in their state. A rep talking to @marcelias today at Democracy Docket said today this is the best, direct way to get resources to them. I donated 50.00. Anyone want to match?

and riding in our handbaskets

bring it...🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥❄️

Girl, same

Strap in, I’m right next to you. Let’s be E-tickets to hell if you’re a dumbass, incel, MAGAt loving fascist

Welcome Jess to the fighting fire with fire team

When they go low, I break out the marshmallows. Because I’m fixin to go to hell.

Fight fire with fire, but protect your humanity, decency, & honesty knowing full well that who you fight has none.

I'm with you.

Amen!

I'm right there with you! 👏👏 My sarcasm has gotten even more sarcastic to the point of I don't even recognize myself nasty sarcasm!! I understand Michelle's, ..."when they go low, we go high". I even agreed with it. But not anymore, cuz I'm sorry, it's not working.

Same same. I'll only go high enough to keep my integrity and others' basic dignity. Past that? Try me you nazi shitbag..

Totally agree! Better to land in hell than think what I “should have done”!

Someone said, "Everybody gets to Heaven, eventually. And everybody has to go through Hell to get there." When in Hell, do as the Hellions do.

Same. They can catch me outside.

Dems have to win the war. You do whatever it takes. If the allies had ‘taken the high ground’ in WWII, they would have lost. You do what you need to, to eliminate the guys who are trying to kill you. Is that plain enough?

This just might be hell

There is no hell so I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

PREACH!!!!!!!

You’re pretty much there now anyway

That's why I always tell people to take the high road. That way there's more room for me on the low road.

💪💪💪

I never go high, they never understand it .. here is my reasoning

@piperformissouri.bsky.social - you see this one?

So these clowns believed the pedo-prez and voted for him. Now they’re unemployed. So dumb, so racist, so misogynous. I wish I could feel sorry for them, but I don’t. 🔥🔥🔥

Surprise Surprise! "Bone Spurs" Lies!

Well he got what he wanted… change… 🤷🏻‍♀️

"What were you hoping when you voted for him?" Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. And that comes at a price.

Not only that, but how many people who work on tips have enough deductions to itemize? There's a good chart in this article that shows increase of standard deductions on all income levels. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/t...

“What were you hoping for when you voted for the president?” “Change.” You got it.

Enjoy your "change," sucka. Don't spend it all in one place.

Lucky for them Pumpkin season is about to go into full swing here in Illinois and Indiana. There will probably be lots of openings for them.

"We should be thriving. We were doing pretty good. And now it's like they flipped the lightswitch off."

This seems to be what magats wanted….

.......... You are doing God's work, he/she appears to be a little sidetracked right now. Lots of 'smiting' will occur, but not upon those of us tasked with taking these f'ers down.

Stooping to their level won’t work any better than the high road did. This ^ is why. We would be even worse off because we would have lost our credibility and self respect. Dealing with liars and the deluded isn’t about high vs low road. It’s about taking the power away from them.

Defensive maneuvers are not nearly enough. When people want to destroy the foundations of our democracy, it is time to go on offense. We were not looking for this fight, but now that it has been thrust on us, we need to respond with not only with intelligence, but with strength of force.

I came to bluesky because I thought it would be less hateful than X, but I guess I was wrong.

How about just getting high? 🤔

🌱😂

Me too!

Eye for an eye something something.......

We are in hell… so go as low as you need to… only way left after that is up…

I find that a simple, “oh, you support the pedophile party,” and as soon as they respond, BLOCK. They do not deserve a back and forth.

A whole lot of the self-righteous Republicans talking about god are putting up a great sales pitch for hell when they suggest that they'll be in heaven.

Lost a friend the other night. Gaza children's parents shouldn't be with Hamas. He absolutely did not care if it was genocide, but it wasn't anyway. I flipped tf OUT! Yeah. I've BEEN done. And more so every day.

That's what I'm talkin about! I'll be right there with you.

Again, wrong use. Please stop.

Hell isn’t real and all the devils are here. 😉

I’ve given up that high road shit a long time ago. Now when they go low, I accept it as a personal challenge and I’ll race them to hell.

When they go low, go lower…? Or change the rules of the game to one you win.

My motto is: if they go low, step on their fucking necks.

That’s emotive and not strategic, luv open.substack.com/pub/noelkeit...

to get a true temperament of the country, we went to Marshfield High School in Marshfield, Missouri and spoke with the Blue Jays mascot. here's what they had to say

You can only be nice for so long

Every action causes a reaction. GOP doesn't play by the rules, why should we?

I agree! I’m tired of this “Take the high road” bullshit🤬

I thought you meant getting high. I'm like, how the hell does one get through these days without a little help from mother nature.

Right there with you, Sistah! 💪😈👊

👊

Yep. If they go low, I'm going to kick them in the face.

Take a tip from William T Sherman. He was working in the South when the War started, had many Southern friends, but did what had to be done by marching to the sea.

Yes, that unfortunately where they must be met.

When they go low, we go to hell. 😈

Agree. I was trying to lessen my anxiety, but that is precisely what the GOP wants.

Will be standing there with you

Me neither. Duck and cover I am pissed.

With all due respect to Michelle Obama, it was never about going high when they went low. It's about going left when they went right. Vote progressive and fight the oligarchy. Overturn Citizens United and take the power back.

I feel this

My take: when they go low, grind them into the fucking ground

Hear hear! We need to fight

Hell, yes! It’s the ONLY way to go nowadays…Morons Are Governing America 😅

If a mass murderer kills someone & comes at you... It's not a failing on your part if you don't try to talk it out, try diplomacy, or "take the high road". "Fair Play" is forfeit. When your life is on the line, use ANY/ALL means. Legality & morality be damned. Don't lose focus on Pedo-Shitler.

Nope, not anymore.

Be as innocent as a dove, but as clever as a fox 😉

Hell rerun them double the energy they give!

I always think that if God is a big a prick as so many Christians say, is heaven really heaven?

damn straight

Gloves off; Knives out.

Jess, You’ll always go high—bc it’s your driving principles, your deep commitment to people, not things. Going high is not being weak, feckless, Pollyanna, stupid, dumbly rule-following naive. We will never stoop to cruelty, depravity, choosing ignorance & hate. Now we fight—harder, smarter, we go!

Amen woman!

Ah...what a stupid post.

Just become an atheist. For atheists, there are no gods, no heaven or hell. When we stop fixating on how to get to a supposed "afterlife" and start being good humans now, we naturally develop more compassion for human suffering. And yes, fuck going high. The time for strongly worded letters is over.

Although as a Jew, I am not fixed on an afterlife, I do care about Tikkun Olam--healing the world. But yeah, I am so done with taking the high road with these Shutk.

I think there were plenty of times in the Bible that returning negative energy was actually lauded. Maybe not in Buddhist teaching, but at least you can get another chance eventually.

I think most of us are in hell. The people causing it deserve to be there but either don't know they should or are complicit.

Precisely. This will get ugly but it's the only way forward.

#PeacefulWarriors

Everyone has their line in the sand. It isn't in the same place for all of us, but wherever yours is, it's valid. Give em he'll.

That's what I'm talking about! 💙💪💙

Me neither. Fire with fire. Pedophiles & enablers…that’s what his supporters are. They are also racist trash—no difference between ICE and KKK. Darkest hour in our history. Prager u will not be taught to my child…PERIOD My son will read banned books & learn. I won’t be accepting or nice.😡

I had to read this 5 times before I realized this wasn't about quitting weed

✔️ got to get down in the dirt with the damn Republicans OR risk losing it all.

Yeah gave the high rd up in 2016.

One of my favorite authors wrote that hell is for those who believe in it, and the deepest pits of hell are reserved for those who believe they'll go there if they don't believe in it. 😈

We’ll take on hell too

Me too. I felt the switch when I heard Doug Wilson.

Let’s fucking gooooo!!!

Save me a place.

There's another option. Rather than fight with their energies of hate and rage, we can fight with energies of strength, determination, and wisdom. That lets us enjoy life, good people, even the fight itself. The harm being done matters enormously, but joining them in dysfunction just weakens us.

See you there.

👊🔥👊

Oh damn. I thought we were already in hell!

Fuckin-A lady, I'm with ya!

Even Jesus in their bible flipped tables. I think fighting fire with fire, when done with good intentions, is very different than fighting fire with fire with the intent to inflict the most harm on the vulnerable. Standing up & fighting evil can only be seen as admirable.

Thank you! Yes! No more high!

This isn't a red flag that I ever expected to see. ❤️

Let’s be real honest about who is going to hell if you follow the teachings of Jesus. It’s people kidnapping immigrants, killing black people, putting gun and military profits over kids lives, pedophiles and those protecting them, and the list goes on…

That's the way to do it!

Found this recently and seems fitting.

Thank you. Jess.

Now we’re talking! LFG!

Totally agree! “Going high“ never got us anywhere with the assholes on the other side. They play by their own rules, and so should we.

That’s the spirit.

Jess the intentions of your Heart are good Hell’s not YOUR destiny I’m no expert I just BELIEVE HOW you fight matters not It’s WHY you fight YOU are NOT alone The San Francisco Police Department logo says “Oro En Paz, Fierro En Guerra” Gold in Peace Iron In War. We’re at WAR We must FIGHT like it!

Steel your spines, my friends.

If so, look forward to seeing you and a lot of my friends there!

You have been on fire @piperformissouri.bsky.social ! Loving that ENERGY ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Jess Piper for President!!!

It has been that time for some time now

I stopped going high a long time ago. They deserve zero respect. Treat them with the absolute contempt that they deserve. tRump should have been laughed out of the public sphere back in 2016, but they chose to back a fucking narcissistic shit bag and I will never fucking forgive them.

There is no hell. And, Karma can be a bitch.

Same

I think God forgives those who fight for survival

Putting up your dukes and defending yourself from getting punched in the face is not taking the low. And there is nothing wrong with punching a bully in the nose.

Yes. If our democracy is going off a cliff, Democrats need to make sure Republicans are right there beside them in the car.

I can go low. I have a t-shirt with her other motto: "Do Something", and going low is just one of the many things I can do.

Punch first!

Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet. Send them straight to hell, fuckers.

I’m going sooo low with these fuckers. The Nazis weren’t defeated by ‘going high’.

Idc if you "go high", just stop taking the "High Road"😉🤣❤️ Pass it on...

America, European here➡️ it's your White House, your tax dollars, your military, your police force, your treasury - use it all and fight for democracy for all our sakes worldwide!!

If they go low, they get curb stomped.

Right there with you.

I’ve been heard to say I’ll go to hell—if I can turn the spit he’s roasting on.

👏😄👏

🤭

I’m not going high. I’m just not stooping. There are ways to respond that takes the wind out of their sails without capsizing and drowning all aboard. Because you don’t have to be smart to hate. You do have to be to make things better than ever, though.

You won't go to hell for fighting evil. And trust me, that is what you are doing.

Republicans exist because they flop. One criticism and they flop making sure the refs are looking. They try to move the goalpost in mid game. That’s what Texas does. Call them out. Throw the flag. If they so much as whine bite their head off and spit it right back at their twitching carcass.

Good thing he'll isn't real.

I think stepping on the neck of vipers is biblical, isn’t it? But there’s always… prayingfortheobituary.com

Sigh. Michelle said that to describe how she and her husband responded to bullies not how to respond to people trying to bring down our democracy.

Yes, it is time for DEMS to go as low as the MAGATS.

Thank you for your service, appreciate what you are doing! More donkey pictures will soothe us all until the villains are vanquished. Luckily the narcofascists are their own worst enemies, while you are ever formidable JP!💙

When they go low, we kick them in the damn face. Done with the ethical, compassionate, kowtowing bull dork.

Hell can’t be much worse than a Maga country. I’m all in. I break out my South Sider all the time on these Pedo protectors.

For relevant tips, read The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social the same energy does not mean the same deeds. Heaven awaits you

Same energy does not mean the same deeds. Heaven awaits you @jesspiperfanpage.bsky.social

Gear up.

Middle ground.

Go Luthen style

Hell is on earth, heaven is everything, everyplace else.

“An eye for an eye” supports the decision. Republicans should understand that.

DONT !!! GOD knows who belongs in hell and who doesn't !!

Welcome to our little club. While it'd be lovely to "go high when they go low" I'm much more accustomed to mudfighting uncle-daddies and their neph-sons about who's the REAL kiddie diddler is. It's a dirty job, but it needs doing.

We’re already in it so fuck it.

Yep

Donald Trump is a cunt. I pray that I live long enough to piss on his grave.

I’ll have dinner & drinks ready for ya.

trump's cult followers are trying to drag us all to their hell. F🤬 that bullshit

Got your back Jess.

Hit em hard hit em low 👊🏻🙌🏼👏🏼💪🏼

Roll in that mud, Sista! Give ‘em hell! I have always hated that go higher BS. Dealing with pigs, you’re gonna get dirty! Nice has long since walked out the door on the other side. Time to fight fire with 🔥

Absofuckinglutely!!

Always bring a gun to a knife fight.

It's time to do some winning.

Starting getting high is my suggestion. Take the edge off our fascistic spiral for a few and then you can get back at it.

Doesn’t sound fun. Here’s my suggestion for you,listen to your favorite music,have a shot of fireball, sing at the top of your lungs and most importantly don’t trouble yourself worrying about Trump. This is America we’re strong, resilient and won’t give up our democracy easily!

Fight fire with fire. All is fair in war.

🙌🫵💪

Love this!

ME, TOO. ALL THE WAY.

I so want to steal this🔥

When they go low, we kicked them in the head

See you there 🔥

From the poet Josey Wales, “Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is."

It’s the only way, lady. Keep up the powerful work. I promise to do what I can in my bright red corner of the country as well.

You have my word as well, Jesse. We're all in this together.

I want everyone who feels the same as Jess Piper to understand what Jesus did to the Money Changers as they defrauded in his territory. Please don't be fearful to follow in Jesus' footsteps, do it, it's the right thing to do! If Jesus did it, you can too, believers & non-believers alike!

I think we all agree. Taking the highroad got us nowhere.

Nope!

Standing with you

I'm up for adversarial.

We may all be there together If there is a hell.

“These people crawled out of the sewer Mr. Ward! Maybe the gutter is where we should be!”

I can bring the matches! I’m tired of wearing gloves dealing with these people.

Taking the high road is why we are in this mess...

Truth!!!!!!!

More like not taking the off ramp at the first signs of fascist fuckery.

(I think credit goes to @muellershewrote.com for this one.)

We are already in hell

I WILL RAIN DOWN HELL UNTIL ONE OF US IS DEAD, AND I’M REALLY GOOD AT RAINING DOWN HELL!!! — Michael Weston, Burn Notice Also me, damned near every single day.

I’m not going high anymore, either. There’s too much at stake to play nice.
