Weird how republicans keep doing everything that America is supposed to stand against. Almost like they are actually an enemy that infiltrated America and are trying to destroy it from the inside.
All this is too much. Trump needs to step down so the Republicans can nominate someone else at the convention.
Why the fuck would they do that when they literally just made it legal for him to do whatever he wants
Voters are demanding it. It’s exploding all over the Internet.
Not their base tho. Their base is eating this shit up.
He’s been doing this schtick all day.
In echo chambers. Not where it matters.
Its exploding on the Internet.
That’s what I heard. Everyone is saying it.
And we have all the best people out here saying it too. Like seriously only the best people
Weird how republicans keep doing everything that America is supposed to stand against while calling themselves patriots / “Real Americans”
:smh:
“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

Almost like they are actually an enemy that infiltrated America and are trying to destroy it from the inside.
That’s exactly why they are getting so much support from Russia and why Russia and China are fucking with us over social media/the internet. They can’t win a traditional war and America largely stands against their goals so the best way to take us down is by having us do it to ourselves. I think Republicans are just too power hungry to serve their greed and they’re too naive/heartless to consider what they could actually do to the country by taking advantage of the disruption other countries are causing.
I actually really believe they’re going to succeed in “taking us down” and have already done severe damage to our “social fabric.” Hell we can claim without exaggerating that there are large portions of our population that are living in completely opposite versions of reality via the media they consume. Propaganda exists to serve a specific purpose.
It’s more deflection, Republicans rail against what Democrats supposedly want to do, then in the long run they just do it themselves.
Secretary of retribution made me smile, but then I remembered this is about real life rather than fanfiction.
If you wrote that about the baddies in a YA Fiction novel, people would laugh at you
But Raiklin is nothing if not self-assured that the “evidence” he’s gathering on anti-Trump “deep state” plotters is real. So real, it seems, that Raiklin claims the material — fully revealed — would establish probable cause for county sheriffs across the nation to issue arrest warrants for various high-ranking officials who have, in one way or another, run afoul of Trump.
Under Raiklin’s objectively bizarre plan, the sympathetic sheriffs would deputize some 75,000 military veterans — veterans he claims have been pushed out of service because they refused to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandates — to carry out the arrests.
Objectively bizarre
So was Nazism.
I’d suggest Canada needs to start offering political asylum but Canada’s about to elect an ally of these fascists. These are worrying times.
There’s going to have to be another civil war, isn’t there?
Republicans have said as much, win or lose they’re going to spill American blood.
I’ve been saying since the early 2000 that I will see another civil war in my lifetime. I thought it’d be in my 80s. But nope.
Here we are.
Putins pet already started it.
Which pet? He has a whole fucking menagerie.
Possibly.
The civil war never ended. It’s just been simmering for 159 years.
You know what the trick is to figuring out what Trump will do next?
You just listen to what he says and then believe he’ll do what he says he’ll do.
He’ll do this thing. Pretending he won’t is naive.
And to find out what he has already done, just listen to what he accuses others of doing.
I’ve been hoping Biden would do this since the SCOTUS decided he can’t commit crimes as POTUS. Just have a list of every Republican and SCOTUS justice who has been credibly accused of crimes. Then just send those to the FBI to have investigations, charges and arrests fast-tracked.
Afterall, those are the positions where criminals can do the most harm and investigation should be taken serious and done quickly.
The Democrats still seem to think you can fight fascists by pointing out that they’re being naughty and impolite.
Sadly, Joe has morals and ethics.
Yeah. That’s the real answer to this: exploiting this fuck-awful SCOTUS decision plunges the US into an authoritarian state.
The choice is: do you let Trump and Republicans do it if they win and turn American into a christo-fascist state? Or do it yourself to prevent that and turn into a “better?” abusive state? There’s really no winning here but we have to do something or we’re screwed.
If the choice is between a benevolent dictator and a normal dictator, I choose the former all day long.
The only reason to choose the latter is if you actually want a dictator because you believe you won’t be affected or because you hope that it will rally a resistance.
Either way we are fucked.
If we assume that, in theory…as an example, Biden were to abuse the ruling and if we also assume he means well; he could theoretically do the following:
- Simply round up Trump, all his major supporters, major far-right republicans and anyone else who has been making large moves that support the treasonous and seditious acts
- Declare all of them terrorists, seditionists and traitors to the country
- Recommend that the DoJ immediately arrest them, find them guilty, and sentence them to exactly 4 years of prison for each individual seditious anything they were doing, or perceived to be doing.
- Most of the powerful ones would be serving multi-decade sentences probably.
- Get re-elected, push through bills to patch up any and all loopholes they used to undermine the system of government.
- Step down after the term and retire from politics after having put down their rebellion.
That’s not something a person who gets elected President of the United States has. Take off the rose colored glasses.

Purely hypothetical but at what point does it become justifiable to start putting bullets in these fucks before they try and do the same to others?
