Anyone who would praise and support someone as unhinged and awful as Jordan Peterson should never be granted power here in Canada, or anywhere else.

This is why I practically fly into a rage anytime I see someone say, "Actually, crime concerns are real." No! There could be zero crime in these cities and Trump would still be attempting his fascist takeover. Do not accept the premise even in the slightest!
conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED.

We need to talk about oversized trucks and the aesthetic of fascism.
ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media.
I am not making this up.
