“The children really are our future. I think the GOP and NRA fucks should be afraid; The younger generation are formidable enemies. They will be voting soon and they will not forget which side those assholes stand on.”
—Beth Bridges
It’s happening.
The brave Parkland students are doing something astonishing. They are instantly preempting disinfo & gaslighting by posting testimony, evidence, photos. And they have rallied to specifically to oppose the NRA. This is courageous grieving; they are warriors fighting for all of us.

“They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence. We call BS! They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. We call BS! They say guns are just tools like knives and are as dangerous as cars. We call BS!”
—Florida high school shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez

So.
How about those presidential tweets? And Republicans are totes chill with this shitbag even now. Which is why they are part – a big part – of the problem.
We really need to release ourselves from the expectation that valid evidence will convince Republicans they were wrong leading to a revelatory “aha” moment for them. It’s not going to happen.
Instead it is up to us to tell them *what they are*. Get mad, get loud, get vulgar if you want. The true vulgarity is the one they unleashed on the rest of us in the form of this administration and its enablers in the House and Senate. No amount of bad language outweighs it.
Brigade their circle jerk posts and shout them down. Stop being nice.
Start calling these overgrown boys out for how weak they really are.
Jesus Christ you morons.
