You shouldn't need a tool.

In your setting should be an option to export a json file, when you make a new one just upload that file.

The vast amount of Americans aren't in that boat....

Every crazy person around me is carrying, all it takes these days is not driving exactly like how someone wants or unintentionally minor inconveniencing them for them to pull out a gun.

It's not even staying out of "bad areas" anymore. It can (and does) happen everywhere. It just usually doesn't make the news unless someone is shot in a nice area. A crazy person pulling a gun out might get media attention if it's on video if not, cops don't even care.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Ratchet Effect...

trump did a lot of bad shit 16-20.

Biden undid some, but in the process tried to make a border wall part of the Dem platform against the wishes of the majority of Dem voters.

That (and other moves to the right) allowed trump to win in 2024.

Since some of his stuff like the border wall was adopted by Dems, he now has to go even further right to satisfy his voters.

So on a long timeline, the country is constantly moving right. And every step it depresses Dem turnout.

At this point it's not enough for Dems to stop actively moving right. We need to go left fast.

I didn't ask for ran example, but yes that's entirely the type of comment I'm talking about...

Just because you personally haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it's not happening.

That's literally how trump thinks tho

I'm still salty how many people are still running around shit talking the unions like they haven't done anything.

Just because mainstream news doesn't mention it yet, doesn't mean it's not happening. If you're not on a union mailing list, you're not hearing about stuff till it gets to this point.

There's a shit ton of lawsuits going on, mostly because the unions work hand in hand, so when one sues, they all sue.

It's not like private sector, when fed unions fight the federal government, the federal government is often the side with less resources.

So you want to give fascists freedom of expression, because fascists wouldn't give it to anyone else when they're in power?

....

The way this looks to me, there's two likely reasons for someone to have that stance

  1. They're a fascist hoping I'm the dumbest person on the planet and that I have zero critical thinking skills.

  2. Theyre exactly who #1 would be looking for

Well, if he tried to take the fork, he's a forking idiot.

4 different unions are suing them over it...

It's not exactly OPM realizing anything, they're actively fighting multiple lawsuits over not acknowledging that...

Like, I guess if there was 5 lawsuits it would be more opposite

even though we have have a dangerous fascist at power, there is nothing he can do to you.

Fascists don't care about laws, and even under Dem presidents, peaceful protestors have still been attacked and had their rights violated.

How the fuck have you not noticed that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible

Yep, I'm not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there's really not many of us

But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.

there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job.

I've fired federal workers, it's just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.

Nah, fuck that.

There's no valid reason to let fascists have a seat at any table.

Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.

Not everything gets to the supreme court.

 
 

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

 

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show
