I responded, time and time again, to all the "USA! USA! USA! USA!" "Fight terror!" "Get Saddam before he gets us!" bullshit by speaking about real terrorism. The terrorism that was already here. People who thought and felt the same way as the Proud Boys and Red Hats and MAGAts, who wanted to use "the war on terror" (TWOT, as Jello Biafra called it) as an excuse to go after "the others". The truth is, none of them gave a damn about any so-called "threat" from the Middle East. They saw it as a rallying cry to bully LGBTQ's, or feminists, or people with darker skin than them, or anyone "evil" enough to be to the left of them. I warned them, because, I saw it every damned day as an LGBTQ myself. They didn't give a damn about bin Laden, or Hussein, or al-Qaeda, or ISIS then, and they care even less now. 9/11 was nothing but an excuse to remake "Murka" in their image and start terrorizing anyone they didn't want here.

I'm not here to say "I told you so". I'm here to ask "When does it fucking end?!" The only things that have changed since 2002 is these assholes have gotten louder, meaner, and more well-armed, while they're egged on daily by an orange reality TV fabrication with a Twitter fetish. I wake up every damned day anymore, thinking "I'm not scared of the so-called terrorists over here. I'm terrified of the goddamned second amendment lovers OVER HERE!"

Up for a second Civil War? Not me. Not you. Not many of us. But these lunatics are, and have been for a long time. They've wanted an excuse to go after us for at least 20 years.

But, that's right. Reach across the aisle. Talk to them. Both sides. Whatever. Brick walls carry on better conversations than them.

The hell with it. There's no "debate" with them. They're nothing but ignorant, infantile terrorists. They're been terrorizing the rest of us for decades, and under Drumpf it's all reached a new low.

Hey, Proud Idiots... Do us all a favor and take your shit to Russia, where it'd be better appreciated.

I fully would expect Putin to round these idiots up and send them off to Siberia, assuming he didn't have them shot first.

We can be happy they will be rotting in the grave... because their own ignorance will kill them.

I have no doubt of that.

What scares me is wondering if they'll kill any innocent people before they kill themselves and win their Darwin awards.

The "let's put our boot up their butt" types when we lost three thousand Americans don't give a damn when we lose 70 times that many on Trump's watch.

If the solution doesn't involve shooting people they aren't interested.

...more men than that for a civil war. I've seen bigger crowds at a JC Penny black Friday sale.

My father was always fond of saying, "don't let your battleship mouth overload your tug boat ass". Seems like advice they could use.

These guys want to be thought of as “in charge” of everything, but nobody gives a shit about them. That’s why they go public. It’s their last hurrah. All their problems are always someone else’s fault.
