Ironic that these guys all are worried about the "woke mind virus" when they all have neurosyphilis.
When can we get these fucks against the wall?
- I got something we can use on this fucker.
- You start.
- Ironically, by crushing liberal dominance.
“Expect us to increase support for organizations that call out companies and financial institutions that bend to the woke mind virus

That shit is so 2022. Get outta here.
How do we the people legally defend our freedom against all of these billionaires dumping cash into the dark side? Wealth is being used as a weapon and it is resulting in real negative implications in our lives. Some of these guys are literally buying down your quality of life.
- The real answer is you tear down Citizens United and make lobbying defined as the bribery that it is, then cap political campaign donations at 2k max from all sources. If that doesnt work, we revert to violence. The wealthy tend to stop fucking around when all their friends are getting bonked.
  
  also: force political non profits to higher levels of disclosure. lets see some of those internal federalist society emails.
- We need to push for campaign finance reform and we need to continue to draw attention to billionaires and corporations that are dumping piles of money into buying elections.
  
  Good luck with that, considering the Tribunal of Six is fully committed to the idea that money is speech, despite the fact that it is absolutely nothing of the sort.
  
  Thankfully, the Tribunal of Six also thinks entrenching our right to firearms is a great idea, so do with that what you will.
- Wealth is always a weapon, this is why we need economic change. No individuals should wield so much power
- Just start murdering billionaires. Easy.
  
  This is the only answer that will actually work. No one inside politics wants to restrict the amount of money they csn receive. Until we force consequences on the rich, they wont suffer any.
- Taxes
Can't wait for his photos in drag to surface 🙄
Find me a single leftist in corporate media. Even MSNBC is heavily anti-bernie.

The reason media tends slightly from furthest right possible is they don't want to pay defamation lawsuits so they do the barest possible investigation to cover their ass. Consider that a significant portion of the US corporate media revere republicans despite knowing every time they've lied, how and why.
- Even MSNBC is heavily anti-bernie.
  
  They called Sanders' supporters "brownshirts," a word they refrained from using to describe the January 6 insurrectionists.
I have 1B to give to people to spend on evil messaging and research of crap that hurts others.

That 1B is allergic to helping people, fixing systemic issues, and truly making America great by elevating those that actually need it. So I must keep it in my pocketses.

- If there's any better proof you need to prove that obscene amounts of wealth really fuck your mindset up enough to make you go against your fellow humans, look at the assholes finding the GOP.
Liberals suffer from the "woke mind virus"? Conservatives suffer from the "weird mind virus". This mother fucker looks like Hans Moleman from the Simpsons.
- Woke mind virus = People should share my own disgusting backwards opinions so I feel less weird.
- You do Hans a disservice.
Dominance of fucking what?
- Right?
Guy is a whack job, but is also seemingly living in an incredible amount of denial.
- He's a rich fascist and a threat to life on this planet.
  
  I don't care to analyze more deeply than that.
- Not in denial, I'm sure he knows exactly how much power he has. They just have to keep playing the victim to keep their base afraid enough to keep voting their way.
  
  Did you read his quote though? He's under the assumption that somehow the politics push society to act a certain way, and not the other way around.
  
  He's woefully out of touch and in complete denial thinking his money is going to sway what have become societal norms in the US.
This man is a serious threat to democracy.

I hope all terrorists get what they deserve.
Now that is a picture of a true master race specimen! Golly, I'm sweatin'!
- he looks kinda like a cooked ham
- Looks like he is too.
It's weird how words come around again. I'm sure he meant this in the American liberal v conservative context, but it also works in the old meaning of liberal in the sense of "people who don't want a king"...
I very much look forward to reading this scumbag's obituary.
I pledge $5 to hire a 'liberal dom to crush his balls'.
"Nice complex plan, trove of connections, and absurd wealth. This here's a pistol."
