The solution is simple. Get the assault weapons OFF the streets, and put the Republicans in the House and Senate back ON the streets.

Beating them in an election isn't enough, any more than a gold star from the teacher is enough to stop the class bully. They must be made to hide in the shadows and fear the consequences of their actions. Winning won't be sufficient, they must be punished, so that others will be dissuaded from following their footsteps. I say this not from cruelty or vengence, but from strategy and psychology.
@AlliFlowers I disagree, they won't go away that easily. Trump lost and he didn't just go away. This isn't the Bush/Cheney type of Republicans anymore. These people are fucking nuts, and they have major media networks and activist billionaires behind them. I stand by my previous statement; voting is essential, BUT not sufficient.
@ambulocetus BUT…we have to start somewhere.
@ambulocetus @AlliFlowers
We must trick them into being incorporated into normal just society. Them hiding in the shadows will only breed desire for retribution.
@retrohondajunki @AlliFlowers Well, our strength is diversity. We have may tools in our toolbox, and we should use them all. You can try to trick the nazis into assimilating back into society, and I can punch them in the nose. We need people to do both. Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
@retrohondajunki @ambulocetus Maybe we can breed out their hate. Hate is taught.
@ambulocetus Beating them in an election will lead them to hide in the shadows. All they want is power, so if we take that away from them, they’ll go away.
