Conservatives have declared war on liberalism and today we saw the first shots fired.

40 years of unrelenting and unfiltered hate toward liberalism and progressive thinkers got us here. It's going to get really scary and I think an actual war might be brewing. This of course is spearheaded by the unrelenting hate and vitriol spewed by the pig headed man who currently calls himself president and carried out by ultra paranoid and racist conspiracy theorists. I can't help but think of what is to come after the events of this morning.

Everything is a plot by George Soros and the "deep state"
The "end times" are nigh and THEY need to be the ones to lead everyone else to die against Gog and Magog
Trump is in office because of divine intervention and all opposition to him is from Satan

These people are not going to relinquish power.

Liberals are being targeted, signs are being set on fire, yet the fucking worthless piece of shit in the White House is whining about "left wing violent mobs" and how everything is a conspiracy against him.

If the dems take the House, things will go south really fast. His cult is more deranged than he is, even. And the ones infected with religion are the worst. I know. I have some rwnj in my family & the religious ones are the worst, by far.

to further their assaults. Even though they are in the minority, they have control of all areas of government including the courts.

Thanks Nader, et al!

Calling them neo-fascists gives the conservatives cover. conservatives are on board with all of this or they would have pressured congress on trumpft.
