I think 'complacent' is a better term than 'docile.' The upper class has put significant time and effort into making everyone else believe that their actions won't make any meaningful difference, and it's worked just as planned.

I can't comprehend why there aren't people marching in the streets demanding a constitutional amendment to limit the executive branch and restore checks and balances. The recent Supreme Court decision granting absolute presidential immunity is a direct threat to our democracy. We all need to be more proactive. Government moves so slow if not pushed.

I don't know if this makes it more or less scary but the idea of Perry being able to just pardon anyone isn't actually factual. A Texas governor can refer a pardon, but a board still has to approve it.

As an atheist I can't tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don't just rape and murder people if I don't believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.

Fair enough, but I would compare someone who owns a fat lazy cat to rollin coal assholes.

How are cats bad for the environment? Sorry, first time I've ever heard someone claim this.

Nothing like exercising your right to protest by infringing on everyone else's right to travel freely.

Republicans sure do seem to think you have the right to marry who ever you love when it comes to incest and pedophilia but not LGBTQ.

I would be amazed if Gaza still exists when this war is over.

In other news, VPN sales in Texas skyrocket.

And apathy is why so many businesses are getting away with anti consumer practices.

I think you're missing the point that it is working and they are intentionally breaking it.
