I’m pretty sure punching another kid in high-school isn’t going to do lifelong damage to every part of his life.

I keep thinking about how much this kid rules. He warns the other kid instead of suckering punching him, understands and accepts the consequences of his actions before he takes them, then acts without hesitation. Not only does he punch fascists, he does it with principles.

We’ve just held one of the largest protests in American history, dozens of citizens have put themselves in danger to try to stop masked ICE thugs from abducting their neighbors, the city of LA is still under occupation by the marines, and four politicians have been arrested for opposing the regime, but yeah, we weren’t able to change tariff policy, so we’re barely doing shit. I mean, the tariff policy did change multiple times because of public outcry, but still, great point dude. Here I thought you were just too stubborn to admit you didn’t know shit about Maine or its governor when you made the meme, but now I see how deep and insightful you really are.

Right, I’m not objecting to the drop in tourism. That’s completely justified and understandable. I wouldn’t come here either. But the meme is singling out a blue state whose governor is actively fighting back. If they were mocking a right-wing freak like Ron DeSantis whining because Florida tourism was tanking, I’d be on board. Hell, if it was mocking the United States as a whole I’d say we collectively had it coming. But to mock one of Trump’s enemies who’s getting fucked by Trump’s decisions is dumb.

I mean, Trump illegally froze Maine’s funding because it’s a blue state and Mills wouldn’t sell out trans kids, but if you want to be super reductive, sure, fuck 'em I guess. Fuck all those protesters getting their shit kicked in by the LAPD for opposing ICE too, I suppose. That’s what you get for living in the wrong country!

To be fair, Janet Mills is a Democrat and Maine is a mostly left-leaning state. If this headline were about their Republican Senator Susan Collins, fair enough, but Maine is currently being sued because Mills stood up to Trump.
