Future Oscar nomination?

What will you tell your kids you did in the Trump resistance?

Maria M. spotted this graffiti'd question in Central Square.

I'll be long dead, but I'd hope that they give even less of a shit about the Oscars than I do, and that they know how to spell the word resistance.

But I'd also note with a smile that graffiti about a movie ends with "The time to ACT is now."

For what it's worth, resistance/resistence is akin to color/colour.

Looked up "resistence" in m-w.com and dictionary.com (before my initial post). Found nothing.

Just now saw it in "wiktionary" but I don't know the reputability of that site.

Then I thought it might be rooted in the French word and the phrase "Vive le..." but then I saw it spelled the same way, "resistance."

is probably a pretty reputable source. And the first result in Google.

Progressive lefty types aren't afraid President Trump will fail.
They're afraid he'll succeed.

The degree to which the left is losing their shit over him is actually causing me to start to like Trump. I hope they keep it up. Yea, this is how the Dems are going to win Wisconsin in four years. Sure.

Who cares about policy changes. It's just a trashy TV show and now we're getting to the good part.

I've been assuming that folks here are collectively trolling something fierce, but I'm starting to get the feeling that you people actually believe the dumb things you're saying. Which is to say: yes, you are entirely correct, we're not scared of the fact that the man holding the nuclear codes has multiple raging personality disorders, a famously short attention span, and a breathtaking history of individual and incorporated failures that includes everything from starting Twitter fights with pageant queens to losing money in casino ownership. We're just in this so deep that we're rooting for him to fall publicly on his face, and take civilization with him by pissing off the Chinese or failing to tithe properly to the Russian security apparatus that quite obviously has some sort of viciously awful blackmail on him.

We survived Bush, because Bush at least believed in the institution of democracy. Trump would sell all of us to the highest bidder if he thought there was any chance he could skim his 20% finder's fee off the top. "Success" for this man would be defined as "successfully program his VCR without burning down the building or launching a pogrom against brown people." In which case, yes, I wholeheartedly wish him success.

You, on the other hand, I would happily witness spend the rest of his days walking around with a small rock in his shoe that just can't be found and removed.

Thanks for making my point. You people have lost your shit. Please avoid operating heavy machinery or driving a car until Trump is impeached and convicted by the Senate. Otherwise it is going to be a long eight years for you since this expressed attitude is actually building his support in the rust belt.

I wasn't a supporter of his, but the agony you are going through and your increasing detachment from reality is warming me to him.

Oh, by the way. Your guy Obama really appreciated democracy as well. I think I remember something about a pen and a phone and how he decided he no longer required acts of Congress to make law--he would just sign an order and dare the Court to block his agenda. Which they did over and over again. You people just like the dictator on who is your side. Stop with the self-righteousness. It does not become you.

We are concerned, given current FACTS and STATED INTENTIONS, that Herr Bannon and his sallow band of apocalyptic nihilists will destroy our country (if not planet) either way - through intention or rank incompetence or some combination.

You are the one who needs to wake the fuck up and go read the constitution while it is still legal to do so.

Note: the Handmaid's Tale is fiction - not a blueprint.

I will soon. Around the time he was born I remember statements about the US getting pissed off over China messing around with some sandbars in the South China Sea and thought to myself what a stupid thing for a war to start with, it would be stupid for some kid to die over some sand. Guess what we are waving our dicks around now many years later?

The closer this piece of vile pond scum, and he is pond scum, gets backed into a corner, the more I fear that the easy way out for him, as it has been for many backed in tyrants throughout history is a "splendid little war". I don't want my boy to die for a sandbar.

There is a lot of drama from the extreme left on Turmp, and as with much drama it is hysterical and cannot do much.

The great middle has to turn on the First Cheeto for him to be stopped. The graffiti above is romantic in the glory of someone thinking about the 60's or the uprisings of 1848, Except people got killed. Writing against Trump in a Cambridge T Station is like saying you hate Mexican Muslims at the Daytona 500. Everyone is going to nod their head and say yup.

I'm counting on the democratic institutions we have to realize that the people of the rust belt are going to turn on him, and they will soon, that we will have change, and then we can knock off Pence in 2020.

That fear you smell is your false front.

And I suspect that the writing in Central Square is aimed at getting people to do more than talk.

Except it is talk.

As for "doing Military", here's some fallout from that first foray: http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/article/Father-of-dead-Navy-SEAL-refused-t...

Why so long? All the President's Men came out in April of '76, less than four years after the Watergate break-in that started it all.

Trump voters don't care about 2047. Most probably won't even make it until 2027 if you look at the pathetically short average life span of red state residents. Trump will take away their healthcare coverage and that will get them even closer to the grave.

It's mean spirited vitriol like this that got Trump elected.

One of numerous stories about people dependent on the ACA who voted for Trump, and are now facing the defacto death panel of losing their health care access.

that make it impossible to actually talk about what a nascent disaster the administration is. But, sure, let's couch it in prettier words: West Virginia and Mississippi have average life expectancies six years lower than blue states in the northeast. What do you think is going to happen to that gap when everyone with chronic conditions gets their health insurance revoked?

Could you all possibly redirect your statistical wrath to target the people actually responsible for Trump's
electoral college win? Such as the black voters in Michigan and Wisconsin who supported Obama but stayed home last November, black women who did not vote for Hillary because, "a woman as President? NO", women who say they are pro abortion and gay marriage but decided the most important issue of the election was the email server and lack of trust? I guess that is less satisfying than calling large numbers of people who live in places you despise (many of whom voted for Hillary) fat, toothless and stupid. At this point, FISH's title as most tedious UHUB bigot is definitely in jeopardy.

"statistical wrath"? Could you possibly come up with a more pointlessly absurd statement? You're responding to an observation about actions and consequences, not an exercise in blame. Or are you projecting a wee bit maybe?

I'm not sure whose comment you're responding to, but it sure ain't mine. Mine was aimed at the guy who scolded Kinopio for pointing out that a whole lot of folks voted against their own self interests, because pointing when people actively vote against their own self-interest isn't nice. Which is a terrible argument. There's lots of people who are responsible for Cheeto Benito's rise to power. Some of them live in West Virginia, some of them live in Wisconsin, some of them live right here in our very own commonwealth. I'm having a really hard time figuring out how you got "making fun of toothless red-staters" from a stat on life expectancy.

FenRes, you nailed it, aside from me being the resident bigot. Citations/sources or is that just because I long predicted the Trump win? The coastal elites who lecture to the "fat, toothless, stupid (you left out sweaty and uneducated)" are still in disbelief.

Like many Trump voters, I'll be going on a diet, removing my teeth and taking the advanced degrees off the wall to fit the left's narrative. Deodorant is cheap at the dollar store these days. I won't rehash my social life at risk of being belittled that I have "black friends" but you're right, those racial minorities that I know that were most opposed to Trump weren't even registered to vote while those racial minorities who saw through Hillary's pandering voted for Trump. Almost four months after Trump's decisive victory, it is amusing to see the left still reeling. As a moderate/conservative, I've been on the losing side of elections but indeed, life goes on. Perhaps the left will eventually get back to power by mixing in some sanity while we crazy Trump voters mix in a salad and a glass of champagne (even though Trump doesn't drink.)

One of the worst things about this election is the number of people who have taken to reflexively parroting words and phrases like "mean-spirited", "vitriol", "petulant" and so on, that they don't really understand and haven't really thought about. This does not count as vocabulary expansion, and it won't help you on the SAT.

In 2047, I will tell my grandchildren how I bravely wrote on a wall in a place where most people would not disagree with my opinions. And they'll say, "you mean that horrible wall on the border?" and I'll say, "no, some other wall. you probably never heard of it." And then visiting hours at the home will be over and I'll go watch some TV.

In 2047, you'll be dead and forgotten after spending your declining years without medical care or adequate food and shelter in a country that destroyed your job and the social safety net in one go. But a few rich men got richer, so it's all good, and if you were alive you could tell your grandchildren all about how you took took one for the rich men, only you couldn't because your grandchildren all died from preventable diseases because vaccines bad.
