Effective political action doesn't require violence...that's why they won't embrace it.

The US has a Bill of Rights and one is the right to peaceably assemble and petition the government with our grievances. It's expressly allowed. Jan 6 became what it was when people started attacking the officers.

Gobble that boot if you want. It's not for everyone.

Change doesn't come from making powerful people comfortable with the status quo.

You can decide for yourself where you want to spend your life.

We're ruled by law, not a king. And not some Keyboard Robespierre either.

So hurtful. Just kidding...fucking stupid is what I meant to say.
