When they say 'martial law' what they mean is a coup. That's what it would entail. They are demanding that our republic be dissolved and a fascist dictatorship be put in its place. Don't let conservatives slide on this. They are enemies of democracy and need to be called out for it.

That's a funny way of spelling "shot".

The fuel crisis is the excuse. It will be pandemonium

You know _something _ is going to happen. They’re not going to accept political defeat.

Don’t forget:

We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

Which translates to "Don't you fucking dare get in our way, or we'll make the streets run red in a river of blood"

I think they will be quite surprised should they attempt it. I don't think they have understood how easily DIY drones could take out top brass targets in this day and age. They are very much not safe.

or how many liberal, left wing gun owners there are.

There are a lot. We just go below notice because we're not psychopath ammosexuals trying to sexually assault our firearms (incidently, the sig p320 is probably an incest baby from their gun fucking)

I’m pretty sure Kevin Roberts is gonna squeal like a pig…

It is EXTREMELY wishful thinking to think that even if the midterms result in a MASSIVE loss for the president that it will result in any change whatsoever. He's already ignoring and executive ordering to cancel out acts of Congress. Replace EVERY single member of congress with a democrat and it STILL doesn't matter because Congress has no teeth whatsoever. The ONLY outcome of a massive loss will be a momentary loss of face that he will just spin his own reality around anyway, and everything will continue on business as usual.

God please let it be bloody. Dear lord in heaven let this be bloody.

If we don't make it bloody, they win. Historically the best way to get what you want is violence. Like it or not, balls in our court

So we're doing "the elections were rigged" for a third time now?we need new writers on this show

What a dumbass system where the president appoints people who are supposed to hold him accountable. Throw out the entire constitution, it’s garbage.

To the surprise of no one that’s actually been paying attention

  1. ICE at polling places
  2. Lost ballot boxes
  3. Elon
  4. Postal shenanigans
  5. Republicans lose house and senate convincingly
  6. Lots of legal challenges
  7. House and Senate just don't acknowledge newly elected reps, delay, et cetera
  8. Lots of legal challenges that proceed very slowly
  9. Impeachment
  10. Martial law
  11. Lots more legal challenges
  12. Nothing changes.

I wish you luck Americans but as a nation you've demonstrated that you're unable to respond to this challenge.

For some reason deranged pessimistic views are so celebrated on this website. If it’s not fascism, it’s climate change and we’re all going to die in the next year.

What’s the point of continuing living to you people who’ve already given up?

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

honestly I'm hoping for societal collapse just so I don't have to go to work any more.

Sounds like they're planning on declaring war on the population.

  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.

  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!
