What does that say about humanity in general that these fuckers have a voice at all?

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.
The most dehumanizing party of all time
And that's including the Lemon Party.
Republicans are fucking Evil people.
And the voters are retarded
Can we not?
Slurs fucking suuuck!
And also evil.
No, being mentally disabled isn't always evil, but a lot of them are... They are being taken advantage of.
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 mean they may as well just call for mass shootings. Not like their base will criticize it.
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.
They're going to be real surprised when they find out how many of us are also armed.
In my experience a lot of lefty folks have armed up over the last 4 years. Especially in the trans community
As a gun owner and former small arms instructor, like... I'm happy, but I also feel like I got isekai'ed when I see fellow left sided folks imply that privately owned guns aren't basically the equivalent of the One Ring. They are simply a tool which bestows the ABILITY to use violence at a distance. What you choose to do with that ability is entirely up to the holder. A sword can be used as a shield as well, but a shield cannot be used as a sword if needed
Maybe not a sword, but shields can have spikes and sharp edges. Even as a blunt instrument a shield is a weapon not just a defense.
I'm going to press x on that one. What you say is true to an extent, but you would never grab a particularly pointy shield as your only weapon if you had to go on an offensive. Those things make it more effective from a defensive standpoint, but if I had to get into a fight I would choose a knife over any shield you could show me if I could only pick one, especially if I knew my opponent was going to also have an offensive weapon.
That's a spork...

Come on. Any of the US “left” that hasn’t already started fighting back isn’t going to.
Unless, what, you’re waiting for the fascists to cross some imaginary red line they haven’t already crossed? If that’s the case, where is that line? Be specific.
What do you expect me to do? Knock on my neighbor's door and shoot him?
I mean, if you think it’s a one-person job I’m not sure what to tell you.
Okay. What then? We've already been labeled as terrorists by the current administration. Say we start organizing militias and all that. How long do you think it'll take before the ATF shows up Waco style to put it down? As if they're aren't flock cameras everywhere already. Have you even thought about it?
It’s absolutely wild how you cowards keep spouting the same tired excuses as if they haven’t been addressed literally every time they’re brought up. Fine, don’t fight. Enjoy MAGA. You’ll get whatever you deserve.
Coward? Fuck off, keyboard warrior. You don't have the first clue what you're talking about. Where do you even live? What do you even do besides playing the tough guy on the Internet?
Edit: This you?
I left in 2004 because of how bad things were getting- a decision that has been continually justified every day since.
Real cowards run away.

Okay then... don't be surprised if they start shooting back.
I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.
-- some fraud from florida
I got in trouble for quoting that on Facebook. If it's not appropriate to say on Facebook, it's not appropriate to say on a campaign trail
Quoting a fact and getting in trouble is a larger issue.
Well I mean it was the Kirkaversary, what would that be without Republican stochastic terrorism?
With or without gang violence?
*Dies
Claims to be pro-life
*Dies anyway
That still gets a chuckle out of me 😂
Meanwhile i get banned from bluesky for saying the IDF are just as bad as Hamas
Arguably the IDF is worse than Hamas
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.
Well, Republicans already defend cops shooting people who are merely suspected of illegal activity, not a big stretch to convince them democrats are a danger to America and should be killed in the streets
You didn't seriously expect them to challenge this, did you?
It is worth reporting on, as the Admin ramps up violent rhetoric and tries to lie about the left being terrorists.
It might open normie's eyes to the hypocrisy.

I wonder if lefties start pewing repubs and just say they thought it was democrats. Probably get away.
Be sure to wear your camoflage. (bright red hat)
Worth a...shot

They call themselves domestic terrorists…you think that has something to do with it?
