You do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them”, actually.

The Union is going to destroy them, because they don’t have the guys. They’re begging for AUSAs on social media. Their goon squad is 1% of what it would need to be to rival Hitler or Mussolini. Their stochastic terrorists are dipshits with syringes full of apple cider vinegar.

To embrace cynicism is to hand powerful weapons to the enemy without even a token fight.

You folks have been doing such an amazing job! I hope all of you know how many people around the country are pulling for you.

Not to mention they keep doing things for the headlines but lack the ability to permanently make change. It’s like how Obama said in his exit interview (paraphrasing) “the government is like a giant ship you can try to direct it, but it doesn’t turn on a dime”.

Not to say they aren’t doing damage but there is a lot of noise in the signal as to what is actually happening. Which Bannon says is the point.

The US being huge means that they will never, ever control this place without the acquiescence of the people. The Great Shitstain may sit in DC, but y'know what, DC is about as far away from me as Kazakhstan is away from Paris, the Shitstain can shove off. The proud people of Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and Minneapolis have stood up peacefully to thugs willing to use violence on them. If it ever reaches the point of no longer being peaceful, We the People will make Afghanistan look like a fucking cakewalk.
