In your mind, do you think you made a point?
Yeah, yeah, anyway…
…I think what Trump’s own deep state was hoping for was what they got today, except for one very important missing element – an equally violent reaction from counter protesters. I think they were hoping to have a reason to label this an insurrection so that they could call up the militia on behalf of Trump.
While I’m not hot on seeing talk resurfacing again about re-education camps, I’m not seeing anywhere in this thread talk about eradicating foes or cheering the death of people.
There is a whole lotta talk about invoking the 25th already! One guy on the news flat out said he thought Donny was ‘out of his mind’.
It’s difficult to tell what information reaches those who think eradication or re-education are rational suggestions. Who knew the party of peaceful protests and pure virtue were so bloodthirsty?
Not even a touch of genocide, and fuck you again for equating calling for ramifications for dangerous political speech with mass murder. De-Trumpification needs to start 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, 2021. And once more, fuck you you Trumpist fuck.
Just heard on CNN that Twitter has locked Trump’s account. no more crap from him tonight.
Ha ha! Reporting now that Rump’s twitter account has been locked after the A-hole posted ‘things like this happen’ over the death today.
Too bad he can’t get his mouth sewn shut.
This could very well be the as-yet-unidentified woman who died. I sure hope she wasn’t some kind of innocent bystander.
I think it’s still unclear where the shot even came from, whoever she is I still feel bad that happened to her, hate seeing that happen to a young lady.
in the book how democracies die they discuss the four traits of authoritarians who will undermine democracy.
The four markers are:
Rejecting or showing weak commitment to democratic rules.
Denying the legitimacy of political opponents.
Encouraging or tolerating violence.
A readiness to stifle or limit civil liberties of opponents, including media
Trump, his followers and his enablers in congress fit all four. they don’t feel democrats have a legitimate right to rule so they attempt to claim their victories are fraudulent and they try to stage a coup.
We really need to take this seriously. no more begging these people for bipartisanship or saying ‘if only AOC would be quiet they wouldn’t be mean to us’.
Also thank God for strict gun control in DC.
Stop lying and stop forgetting your meds.
Yeah. There was some virtual applauding when the news came in that she had died.
I hope every rioter is arrested and given a trial but we cannot allow ourselves to stoop to their level, even when they attempt to subvert democracy. That just widens the road to madness.
Your four markers were fulfilled mighty rapidly in this thread alone by your ideological allies.
Thank God that DC residents are also, unlike most of the shit heads who “protested” today, LAW ABIDING! And educated and civil and all that.
Aren’t you the guy that was so fucking stupid and amoral that you voted for Trump?
The police should not be handling this. It’s not the police’s job to fight wars. If you don’t want the US military coming after you, then don’t start a war against the US.
Note that calling for a military solution to a military problem is not “genocide”. Their families who stayed back home don’t need military intervention, because their families are not waging war against the US. They might need police intervention, but that remains to be seen.
You brought up the word genocide, so no lie there. My opinion on removing Trumpist influence from our society is just that, an opinion, so not a lie. You’re a Trumpist fuck, so once again not a lie. And I havent’t been on any psychoactive meds since the Ativan I was on for a few weeks after my cancer diagnosis, so that would be your lie. Fucker.
Yes. Like 70 million or so other people. And how is that relevant to the abhorrent posts advocating collective punishment and mass violation of civil rights in this thread? Is dehumanizing language and the calls for violence based on political affiliation legally protected speech?
Even if she was a participant, she was someone’s daughter, and possibly a wife, mother, and/or sister as well.
Losing a friend or relative this way would be extra-traumatic, regardless of one’s political views. Don’t, however, make her a martyr to this cause unless she WAS innocent.
