Those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind

And they'll still go on and on about the radical violent left 🙄

I don't advocate shooting conservatives because that is highly inefficient. Conservatives despise "woke" regulations protecting their water and air, so they have removed those regulations. We can now legally exterminate millions of them without ever breaking a single law. I do advocate for that. Our enemy will kill us all if we don't stop them by force.

There'll be two responses from them on that 1. They were misheard. and/or 2. The were just kidding.

I'll have two responses to that; 1) bullshit, and 2) fuck you

Of course they're going to have responses. Shove them right back in their faces.

My two responses are bullet calibers depending on range.

And Facebook has empowered these people.

I've seen cases they say simillar things like this on Facebook but encode it a bit, and Facebook never removes it.

Happy we might get new social media laws here in Australia to finally be able to opt out of empowering these assholes

But you damn well better not besmirch a dead Charlie Kirk.

Hypocrites. Assholes. Literal morons.

This is something Democrats and the DNC need to understand: Republicans are willing to kill for their beliefs.

Until the DNC stops believing that Republicans will be "reasonable", Democrats will fail our country. It's only a matter of time until Trump has his version of the night of the long knives.

The DNC failed this country a long time ago, in what feels like a galaxy far, far away.

'We're doomed.'

People today are too far gone from the reality of our situation to understand this. Democracy is only meant to prevent killing one another en masse, as a means to say who would probably win in a war. That’s the very basis of its design.

Think about it. Think of human history. And why is the cutoff exactly >50%? Strength means victory- if not a pyrrhic one.

If you aren’t even willing to vote for your beliefs, you certainly aren’t willing to pickup a rifle. The other side still will.

There’s an absolute metric ton of domestic and foreign born propaganda out there trying to convince US citizens to pick up a rifle instead of voting.

I lived in SE Idaho during the Obama years and I lost track of how many times adults openly talked about shooting or hanging the President. My daughters reported that children on the bus would also fantasize and openly talk about killing the President. This is not even surprising for me, which is sad.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

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!
