    remember: MASKED ICE IS COSPLAY. Call 911. Make a fucking scene. Get “real” pigs out there. Know your state’s castle doctrine. Keep your phone at home.

    It fucking sucks we need to bloc up to fucking vote.

    All part of the plan.

    First it’s this. They want this coverage- so, even this article is part of it. Next, they’ll kill someone. This too will also obviously make news . And with that, the message is sent:

    “Don’t go to the polls. It’s dangerous to vote against MAGA”.

    Think about it: He has publicly asked for Americans cities to be attacked, do you think he hasn’t told ICE to kill a few people?

    He will try to win through threats and intimidation, through cheating, manipulation… anything that will work.

    He is a pedophile facing life in prison and he is desperate.

    There has never been a more important reason to vote. Never in American history has the stakes been so high. And it’s a berry real threat that if we don’t vote against this traitor to his country, will we have the chance again- because if they win, they won’t have to “play nice” anymore. It’ll be all over.

    So however risky it ends up- it’ll be worth it to vote to protect the future of American democracy and the people that still believe in it.

    VOTE.

        No, that plays into what they want. Now they can say:

        “See! They’re violent animals! This is why we need martial law!”

        They will threaten and provoke. It’s what animals do when they’re scared.

      Would you like to buy a bridge? There will be no consequences for Trump or his cronies regardless of who’s in charge. Obviously getting them out of them out of the way is preferable, but Trump getting sentenced to anything meaningful is an astronomically small chance.

          He is a pedophile facing life in prison and he is desperate.

          False. He’s not facing life in prison, there will be no consequences for raping children.

          to protect the future of American democracy

          The non-existent future of American democracy. They may have disagreements on policy, but they both agree on the things that their donors care about. It’s called the political ratchet, the repubs crank the ratchet right and democrats block any progress back to the left.

          “I’ve got a bridge to sell you” is an idiom that one would use on someone they perceive as gullible. Full disclosure I had to look it up too. Jive turkeys. I have to agree though. Neither major US political party is gonna do a fuckin thing to each other. No war but the class war.

      I think the Nazis were largely the same, a bunch of idiot fuckbags, dumb enough to be manipulated into thinking they’re doing the right thing, by smarter and even more evil fuckbags.

        Hey now the OG Nazis also had the revanchists amongst the German nobility supporting them who did tend to be more intelligent, mind you they weren’t really ideologically Nazis but moreso just wanted to get back at Britain and France. Not defending them but compare that to the modern billionaires and well the downgrade is noticable.

      The average Nazi wasn’t exactly known for their keen minds. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up as rank-and-file Nazis.

        Plenty of Nazis were smart. However, the brown shirts - analogous to ICE - were not.

      So what you’re saying is, we need to outsmart the ICE? What are your ideas, but I guess we need to know how dumb they are.

      We should reject the notion that Nazis were simply dumb because that view treats Fascism as an aberration of individual stupidity instead of a systematic process of capitalism in crisis. There is some subtle ableism in attempting to correlate “stupidity” with fascism.

    So I said year that it’s martial law around the next election. Let’s see how right I was. I’m willing to accept bets in non-USD.

      I was told martial law was going to happen like 3 or 4 times now during this administration. Still waiting.

        Worth pointing out half of those were BY this administration. Point is it’s a trigger he’s been dying to push when the situation gets dire, and currently the polls are showing the midterms are very much not in his favor right now.

          It ain’t happening. Nationwide martial law in the US has never been and will never be a thing.

          The only enablers are the ones who spread doom and the ones who capitulate and obey in advance.
