Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

I'm incredibly left. I fall somewhere on the Anarchist group.

I’m not wrong—and you saying I am has no authority.

You are wrong. At minimum, there will be some military personnel who turn against the government. It's taken a lot less for this to happen in the past than the government ordering the killing of its own citizens. Will all of the military? Of course not. Will all citizens? Of course not. Does that mean we should write everyone off? Also, of course not.

There will be no movement if we disregard everyone who doesn't agree with us fully. I'm not a right winger. I'm practical. I'm not an idiot who would cut off his nose to spite his face. Even if I don't agree with someone, if they're willing to work together to fight Fascists then I'll take their hand.
