Quietly watching discourse around this man's statements like a thermometer. Should I drink a shot when someone disavows his ideas or when they say he's not wrong?

He's not wrong, though.

Dude's ruining lives (or worse, for pricks that think human life isn't a factor to consider) businesses with all his policies.

You have to be pretty dumb to make statements like that on YT, but even a dumb YouTube comments guy can see what's been happening in this country

[–] Lioffproxy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

The fact that the FBI is monitoring YouTube comments like this is just another layer to citizen surveillance.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What about on Lemmy? Uh oh

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

I didn't say nothin'. I'm just here, readin' stuff.

Not too often am I proud of a fellow Oklahoman that makes the news. Just wish he would of pulled a twkyk and said, I want you all to know it's illegal to say, the president has to die to save lives. Now I'll not saying it, I just think he and others should know its illegal to say that.

Sic semper tyrannis

Don't you be stealing Virginia's state motto!!! ;-)

(Even if it does belong to us all! How dare you!) :)

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

akshually it's their Commonwealth motto

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

We are a state and a commonwealth.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

Not a lie to be found. This is a better mindset than all the morons that think it will be fixed at the ballot box and can just rely on the people in power feeling bad cause of peaceful protests once every few months (if even that frequent).

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Alright, I can't argue too strongly about those statements being investigated.

How about all the times I've seen MAGA people make threats like that and worse? Crickets? Thought so.

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

The frozen peaches are only for members of The Party.

Cops don't go after their own.

Yeah, my own half brother threatened to shoot me for voting against his orange god. My parents regularly would post about how anyone who disagreed with Trump deserved death.

But these are rules for others, not for them.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Over a decade ago my cousins advised me on Facebook that "they had the guns" and "they knew where I live". I've had to block almost all of that side of the family.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 12 points 2 days ago

Yes.

Then you'll soon pass out from alcohol poisoning and take a break from all this awful shit.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I wanna watch this court battle. I don't think he made any threats. Let man's cook 🍿

Whatever he said or would say, it's a tempting concept that powerholders should be a tad bit afraid of being massive assholes when nothing else works. The right would theoretically get some martyr points if Don avoids the death to bloody diarea, but at the same time we all saw how scary it was to Shapiro and the likes when Charlie Kirk's neck found it's new turning point. Trump suddenly becoming an explosion of orange confetti is, obviously, a part of some accelerationist thought, but at the same time I believe it would decelerate things a lot because selfish grifters and gray cardinals of his presidency would be stopped in their tracks by pure shock and realization they are too made of flesh.

Tbf no form of revenge that Maga swore after the neckening was new to the shit they already wanted to do. It was probably just the first time most people heard it. They've been on some "throw em all in a hole and cover it up" shit since forever

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

the neckening

That’s awesome, I never heard that one!

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

A wise man once said, "The billionaires forget that unions were the compromise workers made to air their grievances compared to the previous method of dragging factory owners out into the street by their hair and beating them to death."

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago

Soon he'll be the American Seville. Abused thousands knowing he wouldn't be stopped and died. No justice was ever servered, he got away with everything and died.

[–] Lioffproxy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I feel like mentioning all the maga fucks that said similar shit is whataboutism but come on. How does this help the cause? We have to burn it down sure but with legislature and justice. Death and violence begets death and violence.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We have to burn it down sure but with legislature and justice.

And when the legislature is captured and justice is ignored?

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And they begin the violence?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

No, no. We just have to sit passively while they punch us in the face and wait a few years to hopefully have the opportunity to vote for someone who might reduce how often they punch us in the face.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

They've thrown the book at him dozens of times already. Every time it just bounces off his front door and lands in a puddle.

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

How did we get rid of Nazis the first time?

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I feel like the sort of comment you're posting is propaganda to keep people from resisting.
