Let’s boost this far and wide! Not interested in any “this won’t work” takes - this is a battle of popular opinion, and if the public realizes that only 20 republicans stand between us and ending this crap now, that adds fuel to our movement.

Republicans could have prevented this from happening. But why would they avoid exactly what they’ve been dreaming for decades?
I love seeing these starry eyed doucebags suggest these Nazis have any modicum of morality and that they must “fight for what’s right”. It’s funny.
Yeah, I like to fantasize as well.
There’s a better chance of me getting put on the SSA’s Death Master File so I’ll no longer be a “parasite” on SSDI, Medicaid, and HUD housing. No…that’s most likely going to happen…
Ok then, there’s a better chance that Pantera would reform. No…wait…that already happened with good replacements for Vinnie and Dime despite how icky I feel about the whole thing.
Ok, fine…there’s a better chance that pigs will fly. No…wait…Mythbusters kind of did that numerous times in a way.
There’s a better chance we find intelligent life on another planet and make contact with them that is peaceful.
Point is, it ain’t happening.
Anyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.

Sorry Arnold, you’re a fascist. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, too.
Drop the R. Split. That’s what you can do. Stop empowering them and actually stand against them.
IMO publicly endorsing the democratic candidate in elections (and presumably voting for them) is the important part. Party registration doesn’t really matter.
Fat lot of good that did, huh?
You carry water for fascists, you’re a fascist. Full stop.
It’s not like those 3 elected Trump. Do you think the election would have gone differently if they’d deregistered as Republican? It would be truly wonderful if it were that easy.
Perhaps I was unclear.
Today, right now, this very moment:
Anyone who still has an R by their name is a fascist.
I agree that they should get around to changing their registration. But not having done that bit of admin is hardly what decides who’s a fascist. Your “carrying water” criterion makes more sense and a party registration doesn’t carry much water.
Who cares what they did during the election if since then they’ve voted in basic lockstep with Republicans on the nominations.
None of the three I named have been in office for a while.
You’ll never find 20 fascists willing to end fascism. You’re much better off telling people how many people it takes to storm the capital and overthrow the government.
Fascists are cowards, and republicans are getting yelled at by voters in droves.
Your cynicism has caused you to overlook the human desire to slink away from shitty stuff. Don’t rule it out. This is a game of trying things that wouldn’t ordinarily work. Whatever ends up working will be a thing like that.
Fascists are cowards, but they also love power and holding onto it no matter what. You yell at them and they just leave the room so they can pretend you don’t exist, or start writing plans for how to make you not exist.
This isn’t a game of throwing shit at a wall, this is a game of throwing shit in the face of the enemy. What works is what has always worked against fascists; Violence.
Protesting Nazis didn’t stop Hitler. Diplomatic pressure didn’t stop Hitler. Violence did stop Hitler, and Mussolini, and many other Fascists throughout history. Every time we tried to stop a fascist through peaceful methods, they stayed in power until they died of natural causes.
One Way Out, One Way Through.
Yes, yes and Mike Johnson? Uh…… no, impeach him too. Dude is worse than VP.
The image says “elect a speaker who will restore constitutional order”. New guy.
That is totally true but also I was high off my ass. So fair? Lol
lol fair
Yes and no.
Yes, he’s awful and deserves it. But the closer the message is to “Destroy all Republicans”, the less likely those on the fence are likely to do the right thing out of fear they’ll be caught up in the beheadings.
Removing him as speaker and getting someone sane in the white house is a start.
At this point, I don’t care what their party is or their opinions on the economy or Healthcare for all. Let’s just start with someone who will follow the law and not disappear people to concentration camps, and have the policy debate later.
Actually didn’t think that far. Your second paragraph makes sense. Get someone to actually fix and make a difference as speaker.
This is possible. Republicans are getting yelled at by their constituents. No one’s tried to kill them yet, but they probably think that’s coming soon.
I think it’s possible for twenty Republicans to get on board with this.
And hell could freeze I suppose
In reality you will have 20 Democrats voting with Republicans.
It’s like the king of the hill meme, “If those [republicans had souls], they’d be really upset right now”. I feel like the republican party has spent the last several decades purging anyone who’s not a soulless husk
Tap for spoiler
Not verbatim, but it gets the message across.
Conversely, every Republican who doesn’t do that is guilty and should be dealt with accordingly.
Mike Johnson wouldn’t do similar?
I think they cover that with step 1, elect a new speaker
Though this is still a pretty sharp change in how things are playing out at the moment.
We can absolutely give Vance a chance until he does something impeachable on his own.
The only thing I truly know about Vance is that he’ll lie for power. If I don’t believe anything he says, how can I know where he really stands?
Vance may be more vile than TFG
Possibly
In order to stand up, you must first have a spine, and I don’t think there’s a single spine among all R’s combined.
Yeah, I was thinking “20 Republicans? I don’t think you’ll find 20 vertebrae in the whole party.”
You assume things aren’t going according to their plan. Why would they change something that’s their wet dream?
