It would also fill up the pages really quickly too. Before we know it will be at thread American Politics Thread XI: November is Coming.

Have any of the American Politics threads made a Star Wars reference in their name?

Hey, as long as Kamala Harris is always preceded by the Imperial March, I'm cool with that.

Shouldn't you be in Texas awaiting JFK's return?

Q said he would, so where is JFK?

He came back and is invisible to the non-patriot eye and the Qanon demonstrations are just distractions designed to confuse the communist media and Chinese spies

Can we have a compromise? Diahon stops with the wall fantasies, and you stop with the fantasy where all the people who work for the Republicans don't show up for work and this solves everything?

edit: And maybe also the one where the bad guys are suddenly seized by an attack of morality and resign?

As a Trekker since childhood, I just can never take QAnon seriously because calling someone 'Q' always makes me think of someone else.

It also doesn't help that character is essentially an Internet troll with god powers.

"wall" fantasies?

"First one up against the wall when the revolution comes"...

I dunno if the term's in widespread use, but that's how one of my friends on IRC refers to that sort of thing.

compromise is appeasement at this point, and there are dead as it is

go softer, and this will end up like reconstruction ended up -- a dead handmaid to jim crow

It means you want to execute people. It's a reference to lining people up against the wall and shooting them.

Yeah, but fantasizing about getting the Republicans up against the wall doesn't help any more than San Lumen saying they should resign does.
