That’s right Gavin Newsom should declare to be the Governor of the Americas

    What’s the purpose? Like, in a positive sense. I just see this as more liberal distraction from actual material change. Making people feel like there is a means of resistance within the current system that has become overcome by fascist.

    It gives people the false sense of “something being done”. When it gives us no more progress than a new episode of South Park.

      There’s nothing being done here but it’s holding turnip up for ridicule. Even the most diehard MAGA groupies haven’t see how ridiculous that shit is

      The purpose is humiliation. That’s it, really. Fascists NEED you to respect them. If not their governing, then you must respect their power and violence and stay in line. If you do not respect them, and laugh at them. They crumble.

      Bats and guns help with the crumbling. But laughing is great too.

      So sad that you’re downvoted for being correct. People would rather feel good tripe that strokes their egos than actual political progress.

      The people of the US are sheep.
