Racisms and Tea Partiers

[Osterbaum]

What would the Teabaggers say, if a similar protest as theirs was held, but all the participants were black?

Yes, but the time to revolt against that was during the 8 years of Republican rule when Bush got us into two wars, deregulated everything, and generally fucked up the world by catering to big business and the far right.

The only issue then was that these nutjobs were in power and pretty well managed to scare the shit out of regular folks, so sanity sat down, shut up, and walked on eggshells for almost the entirety of two terms.

I'm pretty sure the time for a revolution is like right now.

A revolution right now is the last thing America needs, given the guy who was elected by these wingnuts had 8 years to fuck everything up and it hasn't even been one term of trying to fix it yet. On top of that, there are still issues in Congress where it's leaning more conservative than is helpful at the moment, with conservative factions devoting themselves to doing nothing but fucking up progress and repairs without offering any solutions to the major issues at hand.

The current government is in need of more support at the moment if we're going to get the country back on track.

The system is out and out broken, just because the lesser of two evils is in power doesn't mean it's any good now. The problems we face today are the same problems we have faced for the last 50 years- nobody is fixing them by they democrat or republican.

Not to mention many problems are world wide, and shit needs to be done about all that.

Wait so now that the teabaggers are (in this new hypothetical world) made up of racial and ethnic minorities, their antics are supposed to seem LESS acceptable? Because usually when I imagine a those sorts of minority groups protesting, whether or not they take things a little too far in terms of violence/civility, my tendency is to assume that their underlying concerns are probably legitimate.

Revolution in the US would be a bad thing. As in, "Oh god, Sarah Palin is now President and has control of the nuclear stockpile" level of bad.

This.

When you guys say revolution would be good you need to remember that the teabaggers are the ones with the AK-47s.

The anarcho-commie-hippies usually don't stockpile weapons. Hell, most of them don't even own a pistol.

Math. Do it.
