KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.

No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.

Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it’s vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.

      Not in the slightest.

      They and the federalist society are the ones pushing the absolutely disgusting changes the Republican party is trying to make. They give the “short list” of judges for Republicans presidents to choose from. They are fully responsible for the shit we’re about to go through now that their project is almost complete.

      Everything that’s been tried up to the extreme has had no effect, so, it’s time to escalate. You can’t beat cheaters and liars and thieves and murderers by playing by the rules and being nice and polite. If the Democrats don’t do something, democracy is gone in November and it won’t be coming back to the USA.

        Treason? Yeah on an individual basis. Home boy here and his upvoters supports firebombing humans. Imagine saying the same chit about AIPAC or the ADL? lol smh.

        Anyway, if you guys want to support literal acts of terrorism, good luck on your future prospects.

          I hear ya, but we also know the window for legally resolving this constitutional crisis is quickly closing. So I take this talk as sort of, “this is where we are heading if things don’t change”. I don’t support the coming of these times, but I do want to highlight the urgency. We do not want a version of “The Troubles” like the Irish did.

        Bro, this is a weird place. I was just commenting about how Google sucks for searching up solutions to technical issues I come across at work, so I utilize AI. People got hostile and my comments deleted. I can’t wrap my head around some of the communities.

          The echo chamber here can be a bit too strong, just like Reddit. I wish Lemmy would stop mass downvoting simple questions, even if they disagree with it.

            My grandparents came to the U.S. and became citizens through the legal route.

            You do realize when people say, “close the border”, the message is to literally close off the U.S. border with a wall. There’s nothing wrong with immigrants coming to this country through the legal channels.
