I saw this Tweet from David Hogg.

We’ll never be divided.

My first thought was “Really? Because this doofus has been doing a great job dividing us. Saying Republicans and NRA members are murders with blood on our faces is not a message of unity.”
So I was scrolling through the comments and I saw this:

Holy effing shit. Ms. Doucet is a certified far Left anti-Trumper.
They are no longer hiding their intentions. It is simply crush us under their boot heel.
Orwell wrote “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever” as a warning. People like her though it was something to aspire to.
I just want to be left alone with my gun rights and not hurt anybody. She wants to stomp me to death.
These people are terrifying.
Best use of that chant I ever saw was in one of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books. The city was being terrorized by dragons, and someone started chanting:
The people, united
Will never be ignited!
ISTR the guy actually was, but the if it was the usual activist in the books, it didn’t matter much since he was a zombie.
While we’re on Terry Pratchett quotes, here’s one of my favorites:
“Build a man a fire, he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.” – Terry Pratchett
If you read just one T.P. book, make it “Strata”. It’s a wonderful send-up about the question “are those fossils really old critters or were they put there?”
Strata is one of my favorites of all time.
The official chant of populace embracing socialism… Just ask Venezuelans and Cubans how they like that sountrack.
