Just goes to show Democrats (in general) either don't know or don't care about all that imminent danger they kept going on about. Their privilege insulates them in both cases, and they don't care that we will run towards theocracy and authoritarianism—with the rest of us bearing the brunt of it all.

I don't think both parties are the same, but I do think Democrats are complicit by failing to do anything substantial to prevent this slide into fascism, naively acting like "playing fair" with people using guerilla tactics and chasing moderate voters on the right was viable strategy.

Are you suggesting we have our own insurrection party?

I told my SO we need to do our version of Tea Party. Only it’ll be the Espresso Party or something.

We had it; it was called Occupy Wall Street.

The difference is, the Tea Party got backed by right-wing billionaire ghouls and took over the Republican Party, while OWS (being explicitly anti-corporate) got brutally suppressed by the owner class instead.

Ows was no where near as organized as the tea party was. Also the tea party was an actual attempt at a party and got involved in politics. While I supported ows it was mostly a protest movement.

It was almost the occupy wall street movement. Remember that before it was crushed by boots?
