Republicans mostly silent
good, it was time they shut the fuck up for once
They know they are guilty.
This one, just like the last one, was an opportunity for cowardly liberals to assuage their guilt about not actually doing anything. The very definition of virtue signaling.
Congratulations, you’ve further emboldened fascists by confirming to them they have nothing to fear from you beyond a snarky poster and some noise on a Saturday every few months.
You’re too craven to throw a punch or break something? Fine. Do you know how easy it would be to move one of these “marches” onto a major highway? To block traffic at a major airport? But no… “that would just be SO disruptive,” and people might be MAD at you. Clowns.
I'm with you. If this second, ahem, 'protest' was the week or so after the first one I'd actually be very impressed, and confident that things would change.
The fact that they are 3 or 4 months apart shows that the Gestapo and the orange Shitler have less than zero to worry about.
The next question is what month next year will the next 'protest' happen? I'm guessing it'll be in February at the earliest. Wow, the Gang Of Paedos must be shaking in their boots!!!
Had an asshole roll coal on us while they drove by
Still unbelievable to me that that's even a thing.
Are there many Republicans in the USA? I thought they won elections because they won the areas where votes are more valuable i.e. those places with very low population density. Same with American governance in general, like how California (pop. 39 MM & 732,189 people per electoral vote) has the same amount of Senators in Congress as Wyoming (pop. 587,000 & 192,284 people per electoral vote).
Would you say 1 out of 4 American adults are Republicans? 1 out of 3?
Tough to estimate. There are definitely fewer Republicans than the GOP would like you to believe; probably far below 50%. Many more people in the US are independent and will vote for a person over a party, or at least were. Republicans win due to a combination of the Electoral College (as you noted), coordinated misinformation campaigns (including by hostile nations), voter suppression, gerrymandering, low turnout, and the fact that older people both (1) skew conservative and (2) are more likely to be politically engaged than younger people.
So, actual Republicans? Yes, almost certainly closer to 25%. Probably fewer. People who say they're independent but functionally vote conservative in every election due to the aforementioned misinformation campaigns? Maybe another 10-15% at most. Remember, "did not vote" has run the board in every election for the past 40+ years, winning practically every state by a landslide.
But this article isn't about the rank-and-file Republican citizens. It's about the grifters in elected office.
There were a couple republicans on harleys driving past repeatedly that I made fun of and called pussies.
