Seriously. The monarchy they want is a form of government.

I remember when trump was first elected and the media was hand wringing about how it was democrats fault for being mean to republicans, calling them deplorable and such and that rural voters were dealing with "economic anxiety". Fucking trash elects trash........why did the left do this? Makes my blood boil.

For the last 40 years, boomers have had a stranglehold on government power. And you know what they say. The good die young. What's left in charge are some of the most distilled evil, brain addled geriatrics. With little in the way of actual ideas about solutions. Only clinging desperately to power and relevance. To the detriment of everyone else.

I get what you're saying and I wonder also. But at the same time, the terrorism has been happening; look at all the racially motivated attacks we've seen since 2016.

I expect more. But to your point i wouldn't be surprised to see another major act of domestic terrorism on par with the Oklahoma City Bombing.

I feel like things are way, way worse than they were back then. Way worse than it's been since the civil rights era.

Which one?

To be clear I know which one you were referring to. But isn't it kinda fucked up that there's been enough that you might even have to stop to ask that for a second.

But do we out-gun them?

I don't think any civilians should be able to own firearms, but those MAGA cunts own them and you can be damn sure I'm not going to let them get one up on me.

Everyone, buy a gun, train thoroughly, and don't let these assholes bully us into letting them run the country.

What's distressing is that while the extreme-right may be a minority, republican supporters are something like 40%+ of the US electorate. There are tens of millions of people who hold those views.

Reminds me of the movie easy rider, and that movie was made in the sixties but its still so relevant, every time people start trying to live freely

“Oh no. What you represent to them is freedom.”

“What the hell’s wrong with freedom, man? That’s what it’s all about.”

“Oh yeah, that’s right, that’s what it’s all about, all right. But talkin’ about it and bein’ it – that’s two different things. I mean, it’s real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. ‘Course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free ‘cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare ‘em.”

“Mmmm, well, that don’t make ‘em runnin’ scared.”

“No, it makes ‘em dangerous.”

At least 50% of NY's population lives within 50 miles of NYC and I wouldn't be surprised to find out its closer to 65%. Of course it gets the most attention. I get why people living outside that area would be upset but they cant be surprised.

You see the same thing in every state with a large metro area. You see similar griping from western and central MA but the fact is 75% of the population lives in the Boston metro area

its the same on the other coast... Seattle and the i5 area are what keep Washington blue. There are some deep red parts of Washington state and its frightening. As someone that looks like my father (Anglo Saxon) but identifies with my mother (Lakota), it is a surreal experience sometimes. People are fucking crazy and the people who think they are powerful (the deep red) because they are loud are going to have a very rude awakening if there is a violent revolution. They do not have the numbers to repel an angry populace that is fleeing the cities.

As it should be, thats where the people are.

NYC matters a whole lot fucking more than Mechanicville. What do they even want?

NYC has a shit ton of economic and cultural output. It matters.

I get that people might feel bad that they're seen as irrelevant or uninteresting. But, uh, tough?

Lack of diversity, the higher degree of isolation in rural/suburban life, and higher amount of churchgoers getting preached hate probably has something to do with it too.

No just minorities.

Speaking peacefully about government change is not the same as forming an armed militia. Don't let them conflate those two things in your mind.

That's unbelievably sad... 😞

Let us not forget the Founding member Proud Boys Gavin McInnes, who made an angry video sodomizing himself to own the libs. The proud boys REALLY don’t like talking about ol’ Gavin.

Not in Utica, no.
