The hateful rhetoric has to stop but it's totally cool if we call protesters Isis and Hamas.

Dan Appalachia @danappalachia.bsky.social · 4h

Theyre so scared of peaceful protest.

The desperation is palpable. 😆 🤣

I can't remember any planned protest that was discredited by Republicans before it even happened.

They're really afraid of millions of peaceful protesters.

Gramps' anecdote: I grew up near the Ohio River. In the 60s, I remember it smelled like dead fish. Pungent and pervasive.

The 1972 Clean Water Act, which Nixon vetoed and a democratic congress overrode, made the smell go away.

Rs calling us terrorists like hamas and isis doesn't exactly bring tensions down.

Great idea!

I think if Democrats really wanted to shake things up, they would self-impose term limits and bring in a huge influx of new faces and new ideas to DC.

Has there ever been a protest where Republicans tried to discredit us before the event?

They look scared and desperate. 😆 🤣

Dan Appalachia @danappalachia.bsky.social · 1d

I don't recall any protest getting pushback before the event.

Trying to discredit us preemptively reeks of desperation.

I don't recall any rally or protest getting so much pushback before it even occurred. Republicans are scared shitless of peaceful people in the streets.

His family and advisors should get him help, but his decreased ability gives them more power.

Miller feeds him bullshit and trump loves it.

Nice to see Stephen Colbert advertising #NoKings last night. Complete with a QR to the website.

Tariffed products go up for sure, but that gives cover for others to raise prices too.

Dan Appalachia @danappalachia.bsky.social · 2d

I hadn't seen anything from sled. But I wouldn't bet against a cover up. Its all too convenient.

A week ago a judges house burned after Miller said she was a far-left Democrat judge shielding a "large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country."

And we've moved on.
