    I’ll be doing the same thing you’ll be doing, which will be nothing of any effect or consequence.

    Rally all you wish. But if you all couldn’t make the change you want when we had leaders that would have been open to it, you’re not doing jack shit with one that is making protests illegal.

    I’ll say this to you for the last time:

    You had your fucking chance with the rest of us when we told you to vote. You chose not to. So, sorry- but… there is no high road for you here. You don’t get to pretend to remedy the very thing you helped to cause.

    But go on and waste your time as you see fit.

      This is really a backwards way of thinking. There was a time when most people couldn’t even vote, and it sure wasn’t voting that won them the right to vote.

      Learn literally any history I’m begging you.

        We’re not in historical America right now. We’re in right now. In the fucking present. Right where your actions helped cause the shit show we’re currently experiencing.

        So how about you stop trying to change the fucking channel and watch the program you helped create. Accept what you’ve done here. Because no amount of “what about this,” or “what about that” is going to change the present day hell we are now facing.

        Do you understand what is happening? I don’t give a fuck that “there was a time….” That time is irrelevant.

        Wake up.

          History didn’t end! History is still happening! You’re living through history right now!

          You need to learn from history to prepare for the future, but you seem to think there’s nothing to learn from the past. It’s bizarre.

            Holy shit this has become too stupid to even follow along with. You’re trying so hard to derail the discussion that your straw men have built their own straw men.

            We’re going to have to finish this here. I can’t stop laughing enough to continue.
