  1. No matter what happens on November 5, I fear the worst. And, in the end, I think the Supreme Court will rule for Trump on some bullshit that puts him back in the presidency even if he gets his ass kicked.

  2. More than that is happening

    Edit: Someone posted this in the comments. Now, this article looks like propaganda to me

    “1969, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Speaker of the House could not exclude a duly-elected candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. In Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486 (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that the House’s Constitutional authority to judge the qualifications of its own members was post facto and could only be exercised via expulsion after a 2/3rd affirmative vote. In other words, the House and Senate have no discretion when deciding whether to seat a candidate who has been duly elected under state law, but may take steps to expel that member after they have been sworn-in. The Court decided that the constitutional rights of the voters and the states takes precedence over the rights of Congress until the candidate is sworn-in as a member.”

  3. It’s eerie how similar the game plan is to the Nazi rise in the 1920s and 30s. We are moving into the “assault political rivals and intimidate opponents into silence” phase. 

  4. If any elected dem needed John Roberts to say this out loud they need to be removed. Since the Koch Tea Party introduced violence to politics this has been coming. NOT a thing done about it! WHY? WHY are we not demanding answers?

  5. I hear that there’s a much bigger army that can deal with such threats.

  6. If the cops weren’t all in league with them, then I’d say “good.”

    Because all those trigger-happy fucks would be gearing up and champing at the bit to get an opportunity

    If a non-white, non-them crowd was there on the 6th, they’d have opened fire so fast or at least beaten the ever-living shit out of some people

  7. People don’t ultimately win by being willing to kill for their cause, people ultimately win by being willing to die for their cause.

  8. There has already been a slew of “lone wolves” since Trump burst onto the scene. They’re not threatening bloodshed. They’re threatening to continue and escalate the bloodshed.

  9. I’m guessing there won’t be any riots this summer with everyone scared of violent defense from property owners.

  10. Putin’s propganda machine is elite, and were all fucking idiots for falling for it.

  11. With the hyper-inflation that will likely accompany mass deportations?  I doubt violence on a mass scale as certain goods become way pricier and you can’t rely on prison labor in many settings. 

     As most migrants work restaurants-food processing it’ll be like ….*muh hamberder, fried chicken bucket tripled in price*..  as industrial polluters will put wild game and fish off limits (pro-tip: if your caught fish glows, you probably probably don’t want to eat it). 

  12. I’ve known where I stand on this matter since January 6th. I saw the futures before me on that day. I presume that others, those in power, haven’t taken it seriously because they’re not yet worried about who has to fix things once it is too late.

  13. Vetted army troops will be needed to put down these militant groups I guarantee it. Hope our troops are ready.

  15. I’m armed and I know how to use my weapon. Come at me, rednecks.

  17. True patriots will die trying to absolutely annihilate these
    fascist vermin. Should project 2025 go ahead, there isn’t a place their founders will be able to hide away.🩸

  18. We do. It’s the failure of anyone that can do anything about it to take it seriously that’s stressing me out, personally.

  19. “The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.”

  21. Let’s see how tough they think they are when they’re starving because they can’t get a job after they tried to LARP as meal team six.

  22. We’re so far removed from having constructive conversations about affordable housing and fair wages for working class people. THIS is what we’re talking about. And something tells me that this is exactly what the centrists want. Disappointed in this country.

  23. Snowflake children throwing a tantrum when they cannot have their way, just like their cult leader.

  24. We need to start making our relatives and friends who lean right realize that when they start talking about “taking out the libs” that they’re talking about us, the people they supposedly care about. Not Nancy P, not Liz C, not AOC. The people closest to them. It’s not a fantasy that the Heritage Foundation is talking about, they’re pushing it to become reality.

  25. Wars are waged by young men. These people are old, they were younger at the Brooks Bros. Riot. Now, they’re just old. Their children have multi racial spouses, have gay partners/spouses, they are a shell of what they were nationally. 

  26. They literally already attempted a coup. I’m not sure how you can downplay anything they’ve said after that.

  27. Yes but it’s such a small army of loons.

    Vote Blue 🔵 and shut em down

  28. They can break the country, they can control the levers of government power we will be weak and that will reverberate all over the world. 30-40% of us are good with that. The other day 65%, you know the part that lives in and around most cities and generates 70% of our wealth will reject forced religion, national abortion bans, and Trumps revenge tour. A few thousand proud boys and their like cannot do much. Send those boys into a rebellious Chicago and see how many ever leave. Our future depends on how the military goes, not the khaki clad boys and their Chinese made flags.

  29. They have already shed blood. Charlottesville, Jan 6. “The party of law and order.”

  30. There was bloodshed on Jan 6th. Of course I believe what I see.

  32. Wars start when you want but they don’t end when you want. The hubris of these people is astounding , thinking that everyone who they disagree with is weaker or unwilling to fight when it comes to it. Underestimating your enemy is the worse cardinal sin of combat. Ask Russia.

    Well see what happens. I don’t wish for bad times as it will be nightmarish when it happens, just stating what is obvious to me.

  34. I’m all in on the second Amendment. Are you prepared?

  35. Sad thing is I cannot legally buy a gun to protect myself, because I’m on medications

    But the fascist police state isn’t going to protect me either!

    So yeah, sometimes it’s a bit of fun hyperbole to say, “if X gets elected I’m moving out the country!!” but uhhh, yeah this might be a good idea to start packing to get a head start

    Gonna head to Oregon then make my way to Canada!

  36. I know many in academia have armed themselves. It will not be like 80 years ago. Everyone in America is armed, not just conservatives. And yes, far right nut jobs may own 100’s of guns more than the average American, but they can only shoot one at a time. I hope it doesn’t come to violence, because the death toll would be staggering.

  38. Whenever a cancer like this has spread and starts threatening vital organs, you need to start aggressively cutting out tumors.

    Fuck MAGA.

  39. Everyone should read “It Can’t Happen Here” which is almost an exact telling of what’s going on

  41. “FOUNDATIONS OF A DICTATORSHIP
    Hitler assumed power under a guise of lawfulness that concealed his true intentions. Conservative politicians underestimated him; left-wing politicians were equally naive. Neither took Hitler seriously until it was too late.
    At first, the new government included only three Nazis: Hitler as Chancellor, and Hermann Göring and Wilhelm Frick in ministerial posts. Once in power, they quickly laid the legal foundations for a Nazi dictatorship.
    On February 27, 1933, a fire destroyed parts of the German parliament building, the Reichstag. Hitler immediately accused the Communists, an opposition party, of setting the blaze, and he issued an emergency decree that allowed him to crush political opposition. This decree became the basis of the Nazi police state, and would remain in effect until 1945.
    On March 23, a Nazi-dominated parliament voted to transfer all legislative powers to Hitler’s cabinet. After this Enabling Act, the parliament would serve merely as a rubber stamp.
    Finally, all political organizations except the Nazi
    party were banned, on July 14. The one-party state was thus established within six months of Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor.”

  43. Even on here. Notice how a lot of them use abuser speak.

  44. My aunt is a staunch Evangelist and hard right-wing Q follower. She is constantly trying to convince my mom that Trump is a Second Coming messiah. The other day, my mom, who used to be Republican and has since switched to Centrist and plans to vote Biden, was having a phone conversation with my aunt about the debate and the re-released Epstein logs. My aunt went on about the usual shit, and my mom just said, “I don’t care what you say, Trump is a monster and I’m not voting for him.”

    My aunt said, “It doesn’t matter. There won’t be an election this year anyway.”

    Now, my mom thinks it’s the evangelical shit that there is some kind of rapture they think is coming.

    I personally think that the Q-type groups are planning something. So we have to be vigilant.

  45. Okay.

    Cool.

    I know people like this.

    I could smack the beer outta their hand, and steal their phone before they knew I was finished engaging with them

    They are not dangerous

    They are rabble-rousers

    Do not be intimidated by this election year bullshit

    The intelligent and armed Americans keep their fucking mouths shut and don’t make politicians their entire personality

    The redcaps are very angry and easy to provoke

    If actual threats are made to your coworkers and neighbors over a con?

    This is real life

    If a redcap came to my home, in the name of a felon?

    Be realistic

  46. The Redcaps will be in for a rude awakening when they find out Dems and libs also own guns.

  47. “But the DNC didn’t come save us” complained the democrat voters who stayed on the couch instead of voting

  48. Which side has shown the most violence in the past 4 years?
