“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

    While I agree I don’t think you’ll get many Democrats who are willing to put their necks out to stop him now that it’s open season for hunting Democrats. What would you do if you were in the Senate or Congress? Would you vote to impeach the Orange Julius Caesar and have your family at the top of every crazy MAGA supporters hit list or are you going to stay quiet, stay low, and don’t bring any attention to yourself until you can lose your seat to a republican. One option your kids are targets of domestic terrorists, the other you get to collect a fat paycheck.

    Cause if you think the last set of Democrats who were murdered will be the only ones, you’re nieve.

      I’m a big enough fan of the word naive to be a grammar nazi here and say to remember its evian (like the water) spelled backward.

      What would I do? I’d go to fucking war. If I were getting into politics, it wouldn’t be to play it safe, it would be to cause trouble for the MAGA Nazis. They want a piece of me? Have at it assholes, I’ll be your worst nightmare wherever you put me, until you finally execute me for being too much trouble. But know that I’ll take as many with me as I can.

      I’ve made my peace with the idea that my life may have a twist ending that I wasn’t expecting when I was growing up. Dying an old man in my sleep seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

      Right now I’m biding my time, but I’m arming up, stockpiling ammo, and going to the range. I’m also accumulating non-lethal/ silent weapons, as well as stockpiling food and supplies.

      If anything happens to my family, it’s on.
