They want to be the persecuted ones? Let’s show them what that is.
Every law they’ve passed against others for decades, let’s pass against them for a few decades.
No fly lists. Travel bans. Bathroom laws. Gerrymanders. Criminalize McMansions.
Oh—let’s take their burgers, too.
Yes, for their own good. Republicans need to understand that we don’t hate *them*, in fact we *love* them as god commands us! We just hate their sinful Republican lifestyle.

If they want to live that way fine but do they have to flaunt it.
I’m not a bigot it’s just my religious conviction to not serve those types of people, and I’ll take it to all 89 justices of the Supreme Court if I must.
We are in a global pandemic, we face climate catastrophe, wealth disparity is at levels unseen since the great depression, cops kill 3 people daily, & the top Republican priorities are bullying trans teenagers, demolishing democracy, and making it easier for Nazis to kill people.
It is impossible to compromise with Republicans.

Republicans are, quite simply, not participating in America.
I would say that the government that imposed a Muslim travel ban, a family separation policy, sweeping deregulation of environmental protection, multiple trillion dollar giveaways to billionaires and deliberately spread misinformation about a pandemic, was also “big government.”
