Some were worried waving American flags would be “triggering to POCs”, but then they agreed that they’re gonna try and “take it back from Trump!”

Oh yeah she also introduced me to some 20-something in her group that seems to think she’s in a YA novel. She’s talking about forming an “underground” that has a goofy name like the “Sparrows” or something that uses its own special language she made up (its a simple word-key code any puzzle nerd could break). She has an alt-constitution written in a mole skin book that she showed me and I had to hold back my laughter at how badly it was written.

Sorry if this comes off as mean spirited but she just moved back in with me and this is her whole personality now. Normally id be like “well at least she’s not a CHUD” but she’s been really arrogant and self important about this like she fucking Vladimir Lenin over here when she’s an upper middle class white lady who used to be a landlord.

    “Taking back” the Amerikkkan flag

    Literally my first protest experience was saying this sometime around 2008 and getting clowned on by a communist in Lafayette Square.

    She’s talking about forming an “underground” that has a goofy name like the “Sparrows” or something […] She has an alt-constitution written in a mole skin book that she showed me and I had to hold back my laughter at how badly it was written.

    This one has potential. This is someone who knows the system is completely doomed unless fundamental reforms are made. “The Constitution needs to be replaced” is a pretty advanced position for a liberal, but it is true. The obscene corporate money in elections, the monopolization of communications platforms, the gerrymandering, the voter suppression, the impunity of cops, the Senate, the Supreme Court. These are each, individually, terminal problems for liberal democracy, which are allowed to metastasize because the constitution provides no mechanism to do anything about them. None of these problems will be solved. They will never even be a campaign issue. I have never seen the Democrats campaign on passing a constitutional amendment in my entire life. It is not something which even exists in their dreams, where “progressives” hold a super-majority in the federal government (and in reality, the last time this happened all we got out of it was “Romneycare”). Shit will just continue to get worse while former federal prosecutors record podcasts talking about how liberal democracy is such a precious thing and we must vooot to protect it.

    Let her cook. I think she will put the pieces together eventually.
