What will the ass-shoving accomplish?
Not my problem. You advocate taking my rights away, you don't get my vote. What kind of arrogant son-of-a-bitch would think they're entitled the votes of those whose rights they are dismantling? The sheer hubris of that is despicable.
What do you plan to do instead?
I'm focusing my efforts on helping people in my own community, the people folks like Newsom and yourself are leaving for dead. I'm quite involved in political and activist circles. But I will be damned if I vote for someone that wants to take away my rights.
If you don't have any red lines, you're no different than the literal historical Nazis. They also thought they were doing what they did for the greater good. The road to Hell is paved with the lesser of two evils. You have to have some standards, some lines that cannot be crossed. Otherwise there is no end to what evil you will endorse. You'll find yourself working as a concentration camp guard, after somehow convincing yourself you're taking the less evil path. After all, who better to be a concentration camp guard than yourself? You're not hateful yourself, better you than an actual militant racist, right? Why shouldn't you work as a camp guard? It's for the greater good.
I'd be interested to hear what you plan to do when the Democratic blackmail stops working?
It already has. They're still going anyway.
This is your strategy? Vote for us or your life will be hell?
Vote for us, we won't do anything for you, but surely you don't want your life ruined otherwise, right?
Good job.
