The only qualification Trump wanted of Hegseth for the job was a willingness to use the American military against American citizens on American soil. Hegseth wrote a book advocating for this.

    You can make a little sign with whatever super important issue on it that you like. People did that. People understood that “No Kings” includes all the issues that come with being a king -or dictator.

    But the most important thing people did was show the fuck up.

    Just like with voting, a protest doesn’t do anything unless people show the fuck up.

    And just like with voting, there are loud, persistent voices online that bemoan doing anything at all because it just isn’t perfect enough for them.

    And you know what? It will never be perfect enough for those people. The real reason they complain is not about the level of perfection in the “messaging”. It’s that they are lazy shits. Or lazy shills.

    Yeah, you go all the way to the left and suddenly you’re on the right in various attitudes. The fringe is always cringe. And I’m not being “centrist”.. I consider myself left liberal but I try to NOT be a hateful condescending asshole to those who don’t fit stringent standards…. I invite all of you to look beyond boilerplate platitudes when addressing something and to consider that understanding others is better than simply doubling down on what your little clique says. I patiently await Hexbear’s sputtering angry reply…
