Isn’t this some real nazi fascist like tactics? Are they just testing the waters?
If they could actually get the few progressives we have in prison on BS charges, I think they would. And their supporters would cheer.
They are real nazi
I mean, really all they need to do is arrest her on some bullshit charge, drag her into a black van and put her on a plane to El Salvador. Who’s going to know about it, or do anything about it? It’d be a chilling message to all their enemies.
They’d be bragging about it on the news in order to promote the chilling effect. The question at that point would be if it caused an armed reaction. They want to start a civil war because they think they will win.
If they pulled something like this, do you think people would finally get into action?
It really feels like they’re testing the waters before going full-on Nazi and dragging their political opponents off the street.
I’ve give it a good 15 to 20% chance that the public, or a governor, would show up with enough force of arms to cause a civil war. Outside of that I’d give it a 50/50 chance of working out for the Nazi’s. The reality though is that the left isn’t organized around any kind of physical force. The worst thing the right could do is cause that to change. Because of course they would immediately try to stop it, causing a military Streisand effect. If your political opponents are organizing to physically protect themselves from you, attacking them for it, will make them organize and react with violence much faster. The only thing worse than organized violence, is quickly escalating organized violence.

No, this is exactly what they’re trying to do. So far it’s worked with media outlets, law firms, and colleges. They keep their own ranks in line via either threats of a primary challenge backed by Musk, or outright death threats from Trump’s followers. They are experimenting with disappearing people to foreign countries, and Trump has already openly threatened to ship US protesters there.
The way things are going I expect the first attack along these lines on an opposition politician within a month.
Or a family member. Remember the hammer attack on Pelosi’s husband.
Snowflakes
Should be penalties for bullshit like this.
Should be unable to walk the streets for bullshit like this.
Good fucking luck. The Judicial is still against all this bullshit, you fascist pieces of excrement.
Not really. They’ll route this through the conservative courts. Project 2025 is on schedule.
Really? Because I haven’t seen them doing a whole hell of a lot about it besides issuing the occasional court orders that the Trump administration continues to ignore without consequence.
This was always the inveitable end result of the cancerous growth of fear mongering around terrorism to a hyperbolic degree post 9/11.
This was always the inveitable end result of the Authorization Of Military Force which broke the brakes on this train.
Liberals helped normalize this, Obama drone striking US citizens, liberals scoffing at pardoning Snowden, the list goes on and on.
Further it is a very disengenous read to act like the FBI hasn’t always been like this, they just weren’t stupid enough to publically advertise their soft spot for conservative political and cultural authoritarianism in the past.
Conservatives deserve the bulk of the blame, but we have to be careful to also blame those that pretended to be in opposition to this kind of thing while slowly normalizing dangerous rightwing narratives.
If ONLY Jasmine Crockett and AOC had BROKEN Windows in the Capitol, Smeared their Poop on the Walls, and brought WEAPONS with them, Republicans would be FINE with them!
AOC was at a rally where someone else said to bring out the guillotines therefore AOC is a terrorist for her “abominable speech?”
Which party actually brought out a guillotine?
If bringing out a guillotine and other “kill them” devices is terrorism then January 6th was a huge terrorist attack
You don’t understand.
“He who saves his country breaks no laws” ~trump
He who decides who is saving the country decides who breaks the laws.
Set up a gallows, invade the capitol building, and scream “hang Mike Pence” and you deserve a pardon.
But AOC deserves to be charged with terrorism because some rando mentioned guillotines?
The hypocrisy is the point. It’s signals to his ilk that they can break the rules while the rest have to follow them…
it’s the bully who draws the Line in the Sand and says you can’t step over it and then takes a step forward and draws another line it says the same thing and then just keeps doing it until they’re up in your face yelling about how abusive YOU are, meanwhile you’re surrounded by a gaggle of idiots who are all nodding their head in agreement because all they understand is that someone angry is correct because they just want to share in the moment of being angry
What is it those MAGA fucks like to say? Cry more.
Mark my words, AOC will end up in jail, dead, or disappeared.
The GOP is going full fascist. They can’t have this strong POC woman causing a ruckus.
We hope it doesn’t happen and that we can get change through her. If not, we keep the guillotines sharp.
The revolution will be bloodless, if they allow it, right?
We hope it doesn’t happen
Hope is not a plan.
This shit is so cringe. This isn’t a fucking video game, this is real life. Grow the fuck up.
That last part is literally repeating what they said, and by they, i mean MAGA leadership, not just some rando on the internet.
I am playing no games, dickless
dickless
Like I said, grow the fuck up.
Keep them sharp? No one is building them. They don’t exist. People aren’t doing shit.
Are you aware of what everyone is doing in their garages or planning in their minds? Not everyone talks openly about very dire measures that they feel may be necessary in the future. A big part of the pepper community is to not tell people about your stash. I imagine that line of thinking extends to this as it’s basically the same mindset
And searching for tumbrils on AWS returns no results.
A guillotine takes only a few hours to build. And that’s doing alone!
Takes even less time to sharpen an axe or tie a knot…
