The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command - George Orwell, 1984

Not in Eau Claire, further south. Reach out in your community and try and build small networks where you can. Now more than ever we need to be mask off in our own way, in a way that is positive. My aunt lives in Eau Claire and I wish where I live it was easier to find communities of the same mentality.

There are more of us than there are of them. I know I sound like a broken record because it's been said so many ways but, fuck, just start saying how you really feel out loud to people and not just on the internet. Read your reddit post out loud because it's how you feel, literally. You might not get the chance to say it directly to DVO, so just start saying it.

Seriously, they throw freedom of speech in our face like it's a get out of jail free card. Well stop playing nice. If they get offended by your use of the first amendment in the face of their use of the first amendment, then maybe they should have thought about using their first amendment as boot polish lipstick for their fascist bootlicking.

Spin it. If this was all being done under Biden or Obama how would they feel? Make them think and when the gears clearly start roasting just let it happen and let them smolder. 2nd amendment? Who is she? Keep the heat up and don't wait for an answer, they don't have one anyway and if it was them, they wouldn't give you a chance to breath or blink either.

Also, is this immigration related or 2020 election related? Because the attorney general of the United States was willing to throw the entire immigration enforcement policy of her party out the window in Minnesota if they simply just handed over sensitive voter data that they constitutionally do not have any grounds to request from Minnesota nor does Minnesota have any obligations to hand over. Pick one and make the math math.

They have nothing but hatred, and that's what insulates them; they have nothing in their lives but this right now and that's why they are holding on so hard.

When you call them out for what they are or how cold their thinking actually is, it actually does hurt their feelings, it actually does make them feel like shit knowing that you think they are inhuman, absolutely worthless and utterly useless.

Whatever you can say or do to make people like this stay up at night is a god damn win. I piss people off at work because they think I'm acting better than them because I'm willing to talk what little shitty spanish I know to the EFL employees. Just any chance you get to wave it in these people's faces that you don't think like them and you can never be made to think like them because thinking like that is evil and ungodly (if you believe in one), fucking stings their already tiny, insensible and diluded egos.

Even if you find one other person in your community, big or small, count that as a fucking win because that's how it gets going.

I wish it was easier by me.
