Let’s go TACO, let’s go!!!

Update: Yes, the Dems have been pretty much useless but they can’t do anything when they have no majority in either the House or Senate and Don TACO is ruling by EOs.

But this is how you get him and them. Fuck the high road, hit them at their level. Call them names like weirdos and TACO. If anything induce strokes in all of them.

    It’s effective if it’s combined with action. If democrats are, say, voting in enough numbers to help pass his spending bill, then this already overplayed tease is meaningless. Democrats don’t even try to obstruct. The least they could do is make witty satire instead latching onto anything with a hint of virality, beating it to death, and then beating the corpse.

      I guess it’s like fucking. This is foreplay. It’s important. Don’t try to rush things. Don’t just rush in, fart on them a bit.

      Don’t over think the power of just teasing these fucking clowns. You’re not going to get action anytime soon. Do what you can.

        Democrats have been doing “foreplay” for years. Trump is not a new entity on the political scene, we’ve already lived through a Trump presidency, then after all the noise (or “foreplay” as you put it) that democrats made about how criminal he is, they did absolutely nothing to pursue prosecution during or after his term. They’ve had years to do something meaningful and they’ve done nothing. This lame stunt will lead to nothing. Foreplay is supposed to be interesting/exciting and generally leads to something more. There is never anything more to democrats, they just make noise and beg for donations while things only continue getting worse.

      do something! Anything!

      Oh, fetishizing action for action’s sake? Can i ask what kind of people are known for that?

      If we take literally any action, we’re no better than the fascists.

      don’t even try to obstruct

      Which thing do you want? Action or obstruction? Make up your mind!

        I want action to advance progressive causes and obstruction to block fascist actions. What you’re describing with “do something! Anything!” and “action for action’s sake” actually apply to publicity stunts like this free taco event.

          advance progressive causes

          Sorry but thats action i couornt possibly want for any reason, so just action for actions sake. Thats fascist. Youre asking for fascism.

          obstruct them!

          Oh, so do exactly what they’ve been doing for the past few decades? And, again; action for actions sake! You just cant not be fascist, can you?

          actually free tacos are empty aesthetics that wear the mask of opposition while deftly avoiding any real criticism of their opponent’s behavior, which they wish to emulate at the nearest opportunity. How the fuck is that not fascist? What the fuck is wrong with you?

          But what if they just really wanted tacos? I feel like most people want tacos most of the time, and that’s a pretty good reason to order tacos. So its not fascist because i wanted to do it.
