Looks like we're all terrorists.
Everyone arm up.
CPAC is finally correct now!
Since that name is now burned, maybe we could start a new organization to fight fascism. And to let the world know that we've reached a point of fascism we can't turn back from, we can call it Turning Point.
It'd be fun to let them wrestle with calling brand Turning Point a terrorist group.
I think I've figured out Trump's Reichstag moment.
It'll be the White House burning down, because of something going wrong with the ballroom construction. Then he'll get to move the presidential residence to Mar-A-Lardo like he's always wanted, and charge the American taxpayers for renovations and rent forever.

The far right which has taken over ICE and the Federal government under Trump is terrorizing many, many people in this country. JD Vance, Noem, and Trump know it (the cruelty is the point) and yet all cast any criticism of this fact as "terrorist rhetoric." That kind of table-turning projection is foundational in the authoritarian playbook.
But what I don't understand is - why does the American public discourse seem to tolerate all these tactics?
why does the American public discourse seem to tolerate all these tactics?
Because most people aren't very smart and will only care about something once it directly affects them, which is too late.
Which is why this is probably going to get a whole lot worse and everyone that is smart should be preparing themselves for that.
The right has complete control of the media outrage apparatus.
Does this mean that Trump and his followers are fascists?
They are not even hiding that they are fascist now, wow.

Oops, guess I'm a terrorist now.
I am a terrorist now I guess.
If you're a terrorist to a fascist regime, you're one of the good guys.
Its all the smoke screen for the epstein files.
Epstein files or no, this motherfucker is making it very easy to jail his critics so maybe consider giving this threat a little more weight.
You think making opposition to fascism a criminal offense is a distraction from releasing the files that we already know the man is in?
This is why we are fucking doomed. Get a grip.
The birthday book is the List. People have the thing they demanded and they're still just repeating the line and nauseum to themselves.
It's terminal brainrot. Nobody knows how to resist a fascist government. All they know how to do is shitpost
The next big protest is going to be interesting for sure...
October 18th.
We need everyone that can walk & hold a sign to turn out.
... in case you weren't sure what he stands for
Time to start mailing antifa membership cards to all your favorite republicans.
I prefer the term freedom fighter.
All this really does make me wonder about that Fourth Turning theory....it's like 80 years since the end of WWII, almost to the day.
We fought a war to end fascism.
It’s gonna be like nailing jelly to a wall.
this order doesn't really do anything. it declares that "Antifa" is a domestic terrorist organization, and directs executive agencies to prioritize investigating and preventing illegal actions done by, or on behalf of, "Antifa."
it doesn't criminalize "Antifa," define what that is, impose any sanctions, suspend any rights etc. there's no statutory authority invoked. it's just an order telling Federal law enforcement to focus on crimes by "Antifa" first.
why? probably because there's jack shit they can do. there's no magical war powers to invoke against domestic terrorists.
it's just a tweet on fancy letterhead.
And that’s the beauty of these orders… with no definitions, ANONE can be “Antifa”.
Therefore, anyone can be jailed under these new orders with zero effort needed aside from publicly branding them as an “Antifa member”.
It’s a jail-whomever-you-want-for-any-reason card. It’s the perfect tool for the ambitious fascist.
That's the fucking point.
Come on Trump, you can do better. Here in The Netherlands the government has signed a motion banning antifa already last week! Try to keep up, will ya? /s
It's so unfortunate that journalism is dead, otherwise we could've had some interesting discussions on this topic. For instance, I would like really like to know what would happen if a WWII veteran would speak out against fascism. Will we (The Netherlands or in this case the US) lock that person up?
