America, you are under attack.

[kentuck]

It might be time to stop playing "democracy" and realize that the jack boots are about to stomp your face into the dirt.

The "rules" of democracy are no longer relevant. Unfortunately, there are no other rules to replace them. The rule of law has become meaningless. They will obey the laws when it is to their benefit. They will use the institutions to stay in power.

There are no immediate answers or easy solutions. We are under attack by a fascist regime bent on destroying this nation. We are frozen in place by political division. The propagandists are having a difficult time keeping their lies straight and maintaining any consistency with all their previous lies.

Now, get up out of your chair and go over to your window....

1. I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore

[kentuck]

2. The Republicans in Congress are the frontline of defense for these fascists...

...and we are just unable to put the spotlight on them or make them feel the heat. They keep on doing their thing.

10. Yes, they are in lockstep with Trump and Musk. They have not waivered once in supporting whatever they want.

One or two grumbling in private means jack shit.

But we have no media to speak of. MSNBC somewhat but it is Republican owned, and they are under siege as well.

We need strong, truth-based, influential media to counter this fascist onslaught. Too bad some of our supposed billionaire benefactors won't pony up and get the ball rolling.

5. Been thinking about Howard Beal moments

When will it happen?

[Harker]

6. As have I.

Johnny Iselin, too, and Anwar Sadat.

3. I'm as mad as hell and I'm going to take it anymore!

Been that way since November 22, 1963.

[calimary]

9. I get that way whenever there's a Republican in the Oval Office.

11. I was too young on November 22, 1963 to understand the significance

of the day. I don't remember when I truly grasped the significance. The older I get, the more it takes hold.

I was young and innocent on that day. I now believe it was the day the innocence died, for our country, in a certain way. Our country has always been an imperfect system...but.

4. The laws will be used to protect and enrich the GOP, and control and punish everyone else.

7. But don't jump!

[Initech]

8. I've been saying since the election, I felt like it was a 9/11 level attack on our country.

Our country has been taken over by a sadistic propaganda outlet and a billionaire think tank that's gone completely mad with power, and none of this will end well.

12. I braced for impact on November 5th.

Yes - we are under assault. The hits keep coming.
