Aggressively indict, prosecute, and imprison the MAGA Nazis for their CRIMES (not their politics).
Criminalize MAGA as a seditious, terrorist, organized crime hate group, and prohibit it's existence.
Review every elected official, and if they encouraged the Big Lie or the Insurrection in any way, they will be prohibited from holding office under the 14th Amendment, Section 3. Any future candidates who are found to have supported MAGA will also be prohibited from being on the ballot.
Give our Democracy a full rehab, including expanding the Supreme Court, impeaching Clarence Thomas for corruption, ending Gerrymandering, ending the Electoral College, etc.
Re-start the government, and start supervising the state governments of shithole states, starting with Medicare 4 All, Federal control of ALL elections, Federal control of public education, free or low-cost college or vocational tuition at any point in life, cancellation of all college loans, AGGRESSIVE taxation of Sociopathic Oligarchs and Transnational Corporations, Universal Basic Income, Controls and taxation of AI and Robotics that replace human workers, a tax on every stock transaction, etc.
"The universe gravitates towards chaos and destruction. That's why it takes orders of magnitude longer to create something useful than it is to destroy that same thing. It's the story of all life everywhere."
Example: It took a billion years to evolve the T Rex, and every single one of them was dead within 5 minutes of the meteor hitting.
Police forces deliberately filter out intelligent people because A) the job is mostly really boring, and smart people don't like boring jobs, and 2) Smart people won't put up with the open racism, corruption, and general bullshit of cops.
Ever notice on the news, that the local police chief always sounds like a swaggering, arrogant dumbass? It's because he was promoted from a professional gene pool that was compromised from the start. He's was just the biggest arrogant swaggering dumbass out of big pool of arrogant swaggering dumbasses.
I'm an old guy, but I hate voice mail. Mine says "You can try to leave a message, but it's probably full, and I'll never listen to it anyway, so either send a text to this number, or send an email to XXX, and I'll get back to you ASAP."
Imagine California, Oregon, and Washington form a pact, with the Rockies giving them a natural protective barrier. Then they form an alliance with Canada and Mexico, and surround 2/3 of the United States with hostile powers, who also control ALL shipping into the West Coast. If MAGA America wants their goods from Asia, they'll have to pay California's tariffs on EVERYTHING.
Or, they could route everything through the Panama Canal, with all the extra costs associated with that. Perhaps CA/OR/WA can form an alliance with Panama, and close it to MAGA America shipping.
It's still early, HitlerPig hasn't even been in power for 6 months, and look how much chaos he's caused. We couldn't have imagined this a year ago.
It can get much worse, and it will, if for no other reason than he intends to push the American people relentlessly until they do fight back. Then he can justify hurting them.
The only people thinking this looks too risky are the same people who don't understand why ships float and planes fly. They don't understand the natural sciences.
His comment was sarcasm, since MAGA Nazis always try to blame one of their favorite Democratic boogymen for everything, even stuff they are fully responsible for.
The abominable behavior I am talking about is the Gaza Genocide.
I suspect Hamas took a page out of Bin Laden's playbook, and expected Oct 7 to invite an extreme reaction, the same way Sept 11 drew America into two decades of war, thousands of deaths, and trillions of dollars.
America will never recover from 9/11, and Israel will never recover from 10/7, no matter how many Muslims they murder.
Of course they hoped to get media attention, that's what Greta does, but that doesn't mean they weren't on a true humanitarian mission to get aid into Gaza as well.
I'm a musician, and I can explain music in such fine detail that it would sound like a foreign language to a civilian, the same as your physics analogy. Just because the advanced version of a real world concept is beyond the understanding of most people doesn't mean it isn't true.
But religion has to stay simple enough that the average rube can understand it well enough to buy into it, and even then, the leaders demand that at some point, you should stop asking questions and just believe based on FAITH, based on what they TELL you, with no evidence at all.
And the book always becomes the backstop - "Because the Bible tells me so" becomes the fallback defense to everything else, as if that simply closes the discussion. The Bible is nothing but a book of confirmation bias justifications for whatever religious leaders demand from us, usually money. The original accounts were written by barely civilized humans without the same demands for evidence, logic, historical accuracy, etc. that we demand from modern authors, and then compiled, edited, and promoted by people with an agenda to control the population. The Bible is not evidence, and has no place being cited as a source for religious veracity. Making up a religion, and then writing a book to explain it, is not evidence, it's a con.
If religion can't be proven based on actual evidence, without bringing the Bible or Faith into the discussion, then it's nothing more than mythology, and mythology should not be a consideration when managing this country's, and the world's, current problems.
Right, this is where they're starting, so imagine where we'll be by next summer, in the midst of one of the most important elections in American history.
Because the Republican Party of smaller government and lower taxes no longer exists. Now we have the MAGA Nazis, who are for lower taxes on the wealthy, higher taxes on the poor/working class, and an much larger, extremely oppressive authoritarian police state. California has a lot of money, and a lot of foreigners, and MAGA wants to control it all.
As far as deregulation goes, that will go to the corporations that pay for it. Corps that play ball will get deregulation, corps that don't play ball, will have their regulations tightened.
I'm waiting for the first candidate to pledge to:
Given time, we could all come up with a lot more.
