    I’m trying to think about what protests were like 25-30 years ago. I’m not certain that’s actually worse than what we have now. We haven’t necessarily progressed in protest freedom.

    Initially I thought he was going to have the national guard start shooting people, but turns out the 70s aren’t 30 years ago like they’ve seemed my entire life.

      Yeah, weird. This post has been up for 9 hours and I don’t see a single “Genocide Joe” in these comments.

        Yep. My comment does have a single downvote though, and I’m pretty sure I know exactly who it is. Last time I called these fools out one of them got into words with me and I’ve been getting one single downvote on basically all my comments since then.

        Hi pal! Glad to know I’m living in your head rent free.

          Someone who cares very deeply about me regularly goes through my post history and downvotes all of my comments. I find it amusing and I pity them simultaneously.

            lmao… but I thought we were supposed to be the zealots, what with the “blue MAGA” and all… I don’t know about you, but I’ve never wasted my time mass downvoting that crowd - and it wouldn’t even take that long given there are like six of them.
