I keep hearing right wingers referring to an "angry left-wing mob"...

What the hell are they referring to? People expressing their opinion regarding the Rapey Bart situation?

"Angry Left-Wing Mob"??? Really?









I'd say they ought not to tempt fate, talking that way.

And the press won't correct it. So it will become true. We are not legitimate to them.

2. It's not an observation: it's a strategy. The GOP is going to continue to try to reduce us

to angry, sputtering, impotence to depress our effectiveness and energize their base. Shrug and laugh it off, then do something that actually advances our cause.

I'll admit I'm angry all right, and left-wing too for that matter.

But yeah, fuck 'em. GOTV.

My rwnj cousins use all of those expressions. They hate us, & take joy in knowing we're unhappy with what's happening. If I hadn't unfriended all of them, I'm sure they are gloating & chortling over the shithole that just got confirmed.

"Give a dog a bad name, and then you can kick it."

Call a woman hysterical, and then you can beat her.

Same thing.

The road to repression, my fellow citizens.

It's happening.

and verbally berate minorities in supermarkets. Eat shit, reich-wingers.

Just once I'd like to see a Democrat point out that the majority of domestic terror attacks are perpetrated by right-wing extremists. Lay some fucking facts out for once.
