I hear ya. We'll need legislative support for this. Let's get a couple more Democrats elected to the US Senate from GA this January.

Hang on a minute, you're not really Joe Biden are you?

AOC is making a "list" of Trump supporters to "hold accountable" btw, since she is a self declared socialist, I think we all know what "hold accountable" really means

You are so desperate to be a victim

Being a Republican these days is all about performing smugness while also desperately needing to feel like the oppressed underdog.

This just sounds like pointless paranoia.

Yeah I doubt the Dems would be able to pull off that sort of thing. It kinda just sounds like pointless generalisation to me.

In the United States? Mostly get beaten around by said political opponents, who held control over the police and the courts.

I find it amusing in a sad way that the right has a tendency to see political violence in authoritarian countries as being the result of socialism - as if the socialists are the only ones participating in violence in such countries - and think socialists in mature democracies have the same tendencies.

"Socialist" movements in existing democracies generally merge into mainstream electoral politics and achieve their aims through slow but consistent reform. Back in the '30s there was a lot of red scare propaganda against the SAP in Sweden, what with the bloody and violent Bolshevik revolution next door and all, but of course that never ended up happening, because of course Sweden doesn't have the same political customs as the Russian Empire did.

Antisocialists overturned way more democracies than socialists ever did. That's what you see when you really "look up" the past.

So what's the actual problem here? She wants to archive public statements made by Trump sycophants to keep them from trying to deceptively rehabilitate their public image post-Trump. If anything, that's kind of a noble thing. That's transparency. Do you want Trump sycophants to be able to erase their public support for Trump from the public record as they attempt to pretend they were Never Trumpers all along?

It's clearly a conspiracy by radical communist AOC to purge the kulaks

So did I, but I guess having the Democratic establishment try to throw her and the rest of the progressive Dems under the bus for the party's underperformance in the Senate and the House had the opposite effect :P

Not just "wouldn't be able to".

The Dems are centrists, and the "progressive" wing are pretty much just centre-leftists.

Genuinely fearing a bunch of centrists/centre-leftists are going to establish a dictatorial far-left regime is paranoia.

For anyone anxious, angry, or scared today, I drop another Townsends video for relaxation:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WigF_qQ5yXs&t=365s

Just because it’s been called doesn’t necessarily mean we’re off the wild ride. But we really need to remain calm, clear-headed, and civil as much as possible. And for that, here is Jon Townsend reading Rip Van Winkle by a crackling fire and outside a log cabin. Which is probably where a lot of people want to be right now.

Remember to keep caring for your mental health, be kind to each other, and take care of the people around you, whether your neighbors are Dem, Rep, or Purple Polka-Dot Giraffes. Regardless of whoever wins everything, the unity of this country ultimately comes down to us, even after Election Day is over.
