We already accepted it. Millions of people were purged from voter rolls. Polling stations in Democratic and minority areas were shut down. Mail-in ballots were discarded. Bomb threats in Atlanta. Hell, Bush v Gore was a stolen election.

The only people on the list already voted for him three times.

I prefer peace, but that option is dwindling day by day. The most peaceful option is voting, yet millions of people were denied the right to vote in the last election, and Republicans are gearing up to do it again in the midterms and beyond.

Peaceful protesters are being arrested or executed. People peacefully voicing dissent are being labeled terrorists, and the DOJ is being weaponized to go after peaceful political opponents. People peacefully and lawfully navigating the immigration process are being jailed, separated from their families, and deported to places they have never been before.

They have already chosen violence. While I prefer peace, if they want to remove all peaceful means available, then the only option left is to fight back.

Going forwards I don’t really know what I want to do about it. I don’t think I’ll stop making layered satirical comments

Definitely don’t do that. I also like to make comments that mix puns and subtle references to niche culture/news wrapped in a dry delivery. But I am also fully aware that almost nobody will get the layered references, and sometimes that results in downvotes. It’s worth it when someone gets all the nuance though.

The person who thought I posted an article about George Floyd obviously wasn’t going to respect my time by considering anything I wrote.

Having not gotten the satire myself (or even recognizing that satire was in play, in which case I might have tried to interpret your comment differently), I took your words literally. That’s totally on me as I often miss the cues. But from that perspective the article was genuinely confusing as it seemed unrelated. I could be wrong, but I assume the other commenter was in the same boat as me and not trying to be inconsiderate of your words or time.

I’ll take the downvotes, but my Autistic ass didn’t get the satire, so I appreciate the explanation.
