"test a new red line?" they did a fucking TV promo for their new concentration camp

Why wouldn’t they; all we do is stand around and watch, and occasionally show up where, when, and how they allow to tell them we don’t like it (which they already know and don’t give two shits about).

not what i'm into or where i am trying go but yeah thats a popular approach in the imperial core

They're coming for us all. If you're the wrong skin color. The wrong religion. The wrong political party. Even if you just get on the bad side of a local Republican boss. They're going to come for you.

Arm yourselves.

Democrats waiting for the next election:

I fucking hope it ends up like that....

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You and me both. If I had any editing skills, I'd try to make a loop without a positive ending.

This isn’t a “red line” it’s the end goal. Don’t agree with whatever ghoul is leading the cult? You’re not a citizen and no more of those pesky “rights” apply to you.

Their final solution one might call it

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

Oh, my guess is that we’re still a ways away from their end goal.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They have nothing to worry about; elected Dems will fall in line (since they can’t do anything), and the People who oppose will only protest in the time, place, and manner allowed by Republicans and attack anyone who points out that it will do absolutely nothing. It’s like me allowing my kids a hunger strike, but only after dinner. Check out my downvotes if you don’t believe me!

You're 100% correct only one solution but no one accepts it. They still think we can peacefully protest and vote our way out of this. I'm afraid we will get to the "then they came for me, and no one was there to stop them " faze. My theory by the end of the year Trump will start full on war against anyone who doesn't fall inline and kiss his feet.

And unfortunately they goimg get their way because large majority won't do anything but talk and do peaceful protest.
