You know all those migrants entering your state, fleeing the shit happening back home? Follow their example, pack up and move somewhere else. Texas being shit is nothing new and that won't change.

We can't win it from the idiots if we all pack up and leave. I'm in this battleground state and I'm standing my ground. When Trump gets the nomination I'm going to do my best to remind the Republicans that I know that Trump has said he wants to become a dictator and uses the same blood purity bullshit racist rhetoric in speeches just like Hitler. I'm going to make them face the uncomfortable truth that a vote for Trump today is akin to a vote for Hitler in 1930s Germany.

I mean the parallels are uncanny at this point. The only thing missing is Trump actually getting jail time for attempting to overthrow democracy. At least Germany had the balls to put Hitler away before his rise to power.

The craziest part of the Republican party now is that they actually like Russia. What happened to them? Ruskie commies were the supposed mortal enemy of them until the fall of the USSR. now they want to help them? We gave the afghans a ridiculous amount of weapons and training to fight Russia and they used that later in terror attacks against us, but now we have the perfect opportunity to put the military industrial complex to use without putting Americans in the line of fire with a people that are highly unlikely to do the same as al queda. Oh but suddenly now its just too expensive to fund? Really this point needs to be driven home to all the military humping douches that would gladly suck the dick of anyone that has served in the military. Really what happened? We're really living in a time where the party that supports the military industrial complex more is the Democrats?

Honestly we need a new government. We have the technology to implement direct democracy. Our constitution and government are horribly outdated and the checks in the system are being pushed to the limit in all branches of federal government. Our state is failing and if we continue the ultra rich .01% billionaire class will soon rule our nation openly with impunity. We desperately need a new progressive movement.

As a Ruskie commie, I gotta say, the fact there exist people who praise Russia in the USA is absolutely fucking insane, you should really put them all into mental asylum because whatever is going in their head must be complete bonkers. I don't mean that everyone should turn russophobe, of course, but modern Russia is objectively a complete shithole. It is a miracle that it's still standing as a major global power, despite the government actions and post-soviet cultural heritage.

I'm sure there are plenty of good people in Russia. There are plenty of terrible governments around the globe with good people living under them. But the Russian state government really is terrible.

When I said that really I was mocking the Republicans. As I was growing up and even today if you even mention communism or socialism they have the same reaction. It's why I really don't understand them suddenly being against giving aid to Ukraine to fight Russia. We can do it in Afghanistan and it's OK even though later al queda turn against the US, but now that we can openly fund a war against Russia where that isn't an issue suddenly now they don't want to? I don't get it.
