KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.
No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.
Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it’s vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.
Why tbe fuck isn’t this ringing any alarm bells in this country?
“Damn maybe somebody should do something about this” — biden, current emperor of the USA (according to the SCOTUS)
The president is immune for any act he is authorized to perform: an “official” act. Any act he is not authorized to perform is an “unofficial” act. The immunity ruling doesn’t even slow down the criminal prosecutions against him. It’s not even a speed bump.
Look at his words a little deeper, and you’ll pick up the thinly veiled message. He’s not saying anything that a rapist has not said to a victim before, during, and after the act. What he said was “as bloodless as the left will allow”.Said another way, “Don’t resist our brazen coup attempt and you will not be harmed. Everything is going to be okay. Don’t resist, don’t struggle, don’t fight. Just let it happen. You want this, I can tell.”
Subby should have included the whole quote that Media Matters truncated.
“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Translation, let us turn this country into the Republic of Gilead or we will kill you.
This is the same logic Nazis used. The narrative was that Jews forced their hand by refusing to comply with their demands.
Make no mistake, this is a promise of bloodshed. They just want to sound like they want peace and that they’ll have to kill to get it.
Kill them first.
There are a ton of fucking fascists in this country.
If these people aren’t already on a counter-terrorist watch list, they should be.
He’s not wrong.
These people are terrorists
I’d say that’s slightly off. Most terrorists have no intention of actually ruling the regions they terrorize.
These people are more fascists.
Non-state actors who use violence or the threat of violence to achieve political aims.
Yup, checks all the boxes.
So they’re openly admitting to a coup attempt.
god I hate conservatives. These people are pure evil
How come the people who say they need automatic weapons to defend themselves from their government at the same time cheer for giving their government absolute power?
They also don’t understand how important drones are going to be.
Because they don’t want freedom for all. They want to rule over others.
Most people dreaming of conflict do.
Not me, I just have ADHD and seek conflicts to not get bored.
There’s no quiet part anymore, it’s all just loud.
There’s apparently some people in the back who still can’t hear it. Somewhere around 20-40% of the US population.
You are mistaking “want to hear it” for “can’t hear it”
You know if there were ever a group of people that deserved to fully understand what it means to be firebombed it’s the fucking heritage foundation.
The federalist society is right there with them.
Don’t forget the John Birch society
Id also add PragerU to that list, though thats mostly cause they are dangerous and annoying.
They for sure belong but I think they are mostly powered by the other think tanks mentioned
Its an incestuous relationship between them, they feed into eachother. If it wasnt for PragerU and similar propagandistic groups the upper think tanks would be a lot weaker in influence, then once they have more power they immediately dump it into the propagandists who can spread their influence farther
Im personally in the if you wipe out the propaganda arms ya will have an infinitely easier time, Fox, OAN, PragerU, and talk radio as a whole not to mention Youtubers are basically the only thing maintaining the on the ground elements of the Right wing. They fet bored easily and would probably just do boring normal crap if you stripped away the propaganda, hell they may get happier in some cases a car parts store in my area changed out fox news on the TV in favor of a super playlist of youtube videos going over old weird cars like Yugos and Polskis. This has limited the rightwing grousing in there.
100% agree with you, only contention I would make is that none of those propaganda outlets would exist without the societies that preceded them by a few decades. But from a dismantling their power perspective you are quite on point about destroying their implements of radicalization
Cot damn bro… a bit extreme, no?
You got downvoted for this? Damn, Lemmy, you never fail to disappoint me.
Bro, this is a weird place. I was just commenting about how Google sucks for searching up solutions to technical issues I come across at work, so I utilize AI. People got hostile and my comments deleted. I can’t wrap my head around some of the communities.
Did your parents make it through the closed borders while that happened?
The echo chamber here can be a bit too strong, just like Reddit. I wish Lemmy would stop mass downvoting simple questions, even if they disagree with it.
Not in the slightest.
They and the federalist society are the ones pushing the absolutely disgusting changes the Republican party is trying to make. They give the “short list” of judges for Republicans presidents to choose from. They are fully responsible for the shit we’re about to go through now that their project is almost complete.
Do high crimes demand extreme punishments?
Treason? Yeah on an individual basis. Home boy here and his upvoters supports firebombing humans. Imagine saying the same chit about AIPAC or the ADL? lol smh.
Anyway, if you guys want to support literal acts of terrorism, good luck on your future prospects.
I hear ya, but we also know the window for legally resolving this constitutional crisis is quickly closing. So I take this talk as sort of, “this is where we are heading if things don’t change”. I don’t support the coming of these times, but I do want to highlight the urgency. We do not want a version of “The Troubles” like the Irish did.
Everything that’s been tried up to the extreme has had no effect, so, it’s time to escalate. You can’t beat cheaters and liars and thieves and murderers by playing by the rules and being nice and polite. If the Democrats don’t do something, democracy is gone in November and it won’t be coming back to the USA.
I am going to guillotine his nutz. Metaphorically! Threats are illegal in H4mburg3rL4nd D: boomer.
Pretty sure threats are illegal everywhere
