We can print all these articles. But until these people start getting their ass kicked every time they open their mouths they will continue to convert this country into a theocratic ethnostate. It is an extremist takeover and they are threatening violence way too freely.

They need to go to prison. Violence will just incite more violence. I understand the frustration, but it won't end up as we want it if they think violence is the answer. It's not only a high road. They will retaliate 3 fold. And they want the reason.

TL;DR: we're taking over control of the country, and as long as nobody tries to stop us, it won't be violent.

It's like when a thief robs your house and claims it's the homeowners fault for the violence, "if they didn't try to stop us it would've been peaceful."

What a crock of crap.

Not entirely. I would much rather have a thief in my house than a fashist.

Because when he talks about "non-violence" he skips over the persecution of minorities and enemies of the state.

And enemies of the state can include anyone they want. For example pregnant women.

"First they came ..."

Yeah, the monster energy drinking bros don't realize that if they're not wealthy, their kids will be on the front lines.

Only once their kids are sent home in coffins en masse will these tides turn, if we go that route.

I'm not so sure there are "quiet parts" anymore. They want to turn America into a Christian nation, banning same sex marriage, all abortions at any stage, gender transitions, and no-fault divorce. At this point very few on the right would deny this.

Don't forget IVF, sex education, (soon?) contraceptives, history education, any behavior not conforming to traditional European gender roles, medical care for the poor, social assistance for the poor, free meals for children, the arts....

I could probably go on a while.

Jesus fucking Christ, why isn’t this shit front page news?

“Roberts has previously said he sees his organization’s role as ‘institutionalizing Trumpism.’”

“Institutionalizing”? It was bad enough for four years; imagine it being the new normal.

This dude needs prison for treason, and nothing else. Anyone else who says different is also making a case for jail for themselves.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

nothing else.

A rope and a short fall would be ok too, and well within Biden's power to protect the country.

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 13 points 2 years ago

He shouted the loud part even louder.

Isn't that already inciting violence? Seal team six that bitch

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

When fascism loses the communication war, which it has, they resort to the only other language they know which is violence

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!
