In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

Leftists in the States, you know he and his administration are going to come for you. There’s only one way out here and we all can see this as it’s playing out like every other time in history that fascism rose. YOU ALL need to get ahead of these fascists, and there’s only one way, too. You will have two choices: be sacrificed to fulfill Trump’s dream, or sacrifice yourselves now and go out on your own terms. It’s a shit deal, but it’s the responsibility of all Americans, regardless of how you voted, to ensure your country isn’t run by fascists.
That’s right, we need to VOTE!
It’s the one thing leftists have never tried before. So get out there and HIT THE BALLOT BOX!
If there’s one thing a leftist can always trust, it’s someone standing in a position of authority and saying “You’re Either With Us, Or You’re With The Terrorists!” and then demanding we swear unswerving loyalty on pain of death.
Well, you first. Tell us how your plan works out when you get back.
I will bet you 50$ this person isn’t American.
I’m genuinely confused by this comment… are you telling me to kill myself?
They’re telling you to go get killed being a lone gunman.
Not quite that, as lone gunmen usually wind up hindering their cause after the media has its say. But group action, your choice of method, will certainly create a much bigger splash, and others would join in too.
No. I’m saying people need to rid America of it’s problem. Sadly, this problem has only ever gone away with violence so pick your poison here. Sabotage ICE, hurt finances, and more, or, if you choose (I’m not condoning it), find more extreme measures to fix the problem. The longer Americans take to wake up, the more drastic the violence needed to end the fascism.
The only reason I don’t go out shooting and hunting is because I’d be alone, I’m not in good enough shape to pull that off. But I’ve been ready since his first rigged election. For now I’m willing to play along, but as November nears well see how realistic it is that voting will work.
There are very few leftists in the States.
They’re coming after anyone who’s in their way and who isn’t a fascist.
There’s a third choice: organize, fight back and win.
The vichi DNC dems will do nothing but collaborate. Same as always, and in a pinch they will sell out every progressive they know, same as always. After that the right will come for them too, same as always. We all know exactly how this will play out.
That third choice is a sacrifice, tbh. You have to give something up to accomplish that, and you’ll be branded a terrorist for using your free speech. So, like I said, two options, as that third one you suggested will be met with force eventually.
