      It’s not humanity, it’s a Republican convention and the person at the Mike who could have most readily responded is a sitting Republican senator

    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” —Frank Wilhoit

    Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

    If republicans come to lynch you, wont you just call the cops and they will protect you? I’ve been told by anti gun zealots that it is the plan after they get the gun bans they lust after.

    We are on our own, the government wont be there for us in our darkest hour. you would be lucky its not the government itself that is after you honestly.

    I know its scarey to think about, but such is the facts of life of the world we live in. Work with people in your community to protect each other. Its all thats left.

    I just can’t believe Americans haven’t figured out that Trump just tries to divide them on literally every issue so he can maintain power. Are they really that stupid? This should be the main message. Never, ever has a president tried to divide people so much to a point he would be happy if civil war broke out.

      See, this is the thing that people outside America don’t understand.

      They are intentionally trying to trigger civilian uprisings/civil war. It wouldnt be a giddy happenstance, its their actual purpose.

      Its why they’ve deployed ICE, Its why ICE is given carte blanch to brutalize and disappear people at a whim. Its why they’ve dismantled any oversight that could stand against them and interupt them.

      and they are getting quietly furious that its not working.

      because they want the excuse to declare martial law. to give the order to kill American citizens to the military, and to cull anyone that wouldnt follow the order. To declare no elections, to make Trump the figure head for the rest of his meager life, with the real power being the billionaires that own the Republicans and the chopping up of the country into oligarchical fiefdoms not to dissimilar to Russia.

      and its why people are focused on peaceful pressure. it infuriates and stymies their plans.

        They’re already killing civilians and you’re worried that if people pose any resistance to that they’ll use it as an excuse to kill civilians?

          No need to be pedantic they are correct in their point they’re making. The MAGA goal is for an insurrection or riots start in blue cities so they can declare martial law

            And if nothing is done to resist them then they can take their time implementing the laws they want with no resistance.

              Would love to hear some actual recommendations. Not much available to be done when half my neighbors are brainwashed into thinking what is happening is a good thing and they’re blind to what is actually going on and dont believe when evidence is brought in front of them.

              3 simple words that scream “I cant refute what you’re saying, but I have to have the final word because I’m childish and cant admit wrong”

                You didn’t say anything. “lack of reading comprehension” is not an argument, it contributes nothing and does not strengthen wherever point you were trying to make.

                I didn’t put any less substance in my reply than you had in yours. So if that’s the benchmark for “I cant refute what you’re saying, but I have to have the final word because I’m childish and cant admit wrong” then that speaks volumes for your prior post.

    Hasn’t the right already been killing those that they deem that are on the left? A couple were shot in Minneapolis and a girl and a protester were shot in Texas, not to mention assorted mass shootings by right wingers. There doesn’t seem to be any consequences either.

    Republikkkans want to plant the seeds without opening calling for mass shootings so that when it does happen they can say they never TOLD them to do it. All while secretly smiling and laughing and egging the morons on.

    I’d be a hypocrite to say I don’t think the same thing about them. This is what you call the polarization period and normalization of violent rhetoric in times leading to civil strife.

        MUCH worse.

        Contrary to Hasbara gaslighting, Hamas are mostly untrained civilians and extremely under equipped volunteer soldiers fighting against the oppression and wanton slaughter of one of the most advanced, powerful and numerous militaries in the world.

        Israel could create a peaceful one state solution within a year if they wanted to. They have that power, but they’ve been actively choosing not to exercise it for 80 years.

          They don’t want to because they see Palestinians as less than animals. Israel is basically the nazis now.

      They should at least advise them to get some target practice. They’ll want to be better than me.
