Truths, so much irrationality.
I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.
We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.
Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military?
More focus on the current genocides would keep our elected leaders from such complacency, and more importantly, such political and economic support for them.
And maybe past ones...#Rwanda was a shit show and we were ringside.
Then there's decades of us eroding #Haiti.
Yeah, we're far from saturated.
People broadly don't know enough about even just these genocides. Let alone the rest.
I’m down south in Iqaluit this week, taking a wilderness first aid course. I went out for coffee this morning with an old troopmate and ordered a triple shot Americano (the cookie is his, lest you think me indulgent). When I got the receipt I see it has been renamed. #ElbowsUp

Bank of Canada to start cuttin...
I feel for our American neighbors. Really I do. But when I see someone like this, my flat response is that we have enough troubles on our side of the border without inviting any more from down below.
Someone wants to claim that we have a responsibility to provide support out of the goodness of our hearts, to even further enrich the kleptocrats fucking everything up down there, while impoverishing ourselves?
Nope. I'm not buying tainted US produce or typhoid-ridden US meat just to be nice, and I resent the implication that it's a moral virtue to do so.
Bring us the folks who need to escape (and aren't worse than your garden-variety asshole, says the garden-variety asshole). We know that groups who join and contribute to a community are incalculably valuable, even if it's just by BEING HERE. We'll (hopefully!) provide support and aid to all we can.
But when it comes to a demand to surrender our sovereignty by someone who's upset their Switch 2 was too expensive?
Elbows the fuck up.
@Nonilex Don't ignore the Alina fucking Habba part of this story.

Part the next. Arresting big city Democratic mayors, Governors, State AGs and judges on phony immigration-related charges was always the plan.
Five-alarm-fire-all-the-time time.
Screw the US.
