Looks like we're all terrorists.
Everyone arm up.
CPAC is finally correct now!
I armed up back in 2018. Not sure why anyone else wouldn't have by now. Maybe just extreme naivete.
Suicidal tendencies, mostly. As much as I wish I could buy a gun, I'd probably be most likely to turn it towards myself.
But there are so many billionaires just loitering about.
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.
Because allowing these tactics let's them "hurt the people he needs to be hurting." They're authoritarian themselves.
Does this mean that Trump and his followers are fascists?
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.
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.
I prefer the term freedom fighter.
It’s gonna be like nailing jelly to a wall.
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?
