MAGA are the high-flying Globetrotters posterizing everyone on the court. The Democratic professional class — politicians, pundits, think tankers, and operatives — are the Washington Generals, paid a lot of money to be pantsed.

If I had the money to put it together, I'd get some pamphlets printed up, and some bumper stickers or such with statements like "I SUPPORT ICE'S RIGHT TO MURDER".

The pamphlets basically say "Since you support ICE, we thought you'd enjoy these!", then inside, some very graphic information about what ICE has been up to, and some messaging to the tone of "Do you support ICE? Because the House representatives you elected to represent your opinions in congress just voted in favor of a huge budget bill. Don't like being associated with that? Call them and let them know. By the way, the midterm elections are coming right up."

Send those out to everyone in every district whose 'democratic' representatives voted for the budget bill.

Hahaha you think we going get to vote this away? Dude Democracy is over. We need to be deciding when rise up. At the minimum a general strike that doesn't end until this over, or start getting armed and ready for war. That or continue to do jack shit.

Yeah I mean, I agree with you, but do you know how to organize that? Do you know anyone who's in the process of organizing that? I sure don't. It's easy to post shit on the internet; let me know when you've got an action plan.
