I guess I shouldn't be surprised Draz gets a hard on for something that left 25 kids dead.

Nah I don't get a hard on over it. I'd like to avoid it preferably.

You won't find many with your views on this forum. But we're about as representative of this country as we are of France.

I've met plenty of Drazzil's here in Austin. And more are coming around all the time.

Not too many of those in Austin.

I'm not accusing you of being a Trumper. I'm saying that your views about democracy failing to rise to the challenges of the time are not confined to the right - it's just that the right got there first. But the left is catching up.

You are - or at least posture that you’d like to be - a domestic terrorist, so this quote is kinda rich.

Nah I'm shit at violence. Also would much rather see things settled nonviolently but I'm a realist.

And yet you are espousing it. Constantly.

Fine. Not a terrorist. Extremist fits you better.

Every movement needs a mouthpiece.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

So this thread can be settled then. Left authoritarians do exist.

Here's hoping for BLT to save us all.
