When fascism loses the communication war, which it has, they resort to the only other language they know which is violence
I’m not so sure there are “quiet parts” anymore. They want to turn America into a Christian nation, banning same sex marriage, all abortions at any stage, gender transitions, and no-fault divorce. At this point very few on the right would deny this.
Don’t forget IVF, sex education, (soon?) contraceptives, history education, any behavior not confirming to traditional European gender roles, medical care for the poor, social assistance for the poor, free meals for children, the arts…
I could probably go on a while.
He shouted the loud part even louder.
Jesus fucking Christ, why isn’t this shit front page news?
“Roberts has previously said he sees his organization’s role as ‘institutionalizing Trumpism.’”
“Institutionalizing”? It was bad enough for four years; imagine it being the new normal.
There’s only one way to stop fascists. History has proven that. Until people are ready to cross that threshold, nothing will happen.
Non-fascists who learn from history and exercise that knowledge will wait until there’s no other choice left, which will of course be too late or damn near it. Then unless it’s decisive it’s going to drag on for a bit.
Not to mention that law enforcement, the armed forces, every little dick bitch who votes trump, are all on the side of fascism, are properly armed, and you already know how much the police in the US absolutely hard cock in hand LOVE killing people. They fucking love it. That’s just the cops.
So taking on that lot, for real real, means you better be a right God damn killing machine, a ghost, or possibly rebel scum. Something.
So everyone will try everything else 1st, one side perverting the law, with endless finances from Businesses and Hyper-Capitalists, loaded courts, all with zero morals, and then the otherside who’s toeing the law and trying to do the right thing.
There’s only one way to stop fascists. They absolutely will. not. stop. until they are left with no other choice and are made to.
Better be ready. Fascism is alive and well in America, and it’s getting ready to seize power.
If Trump wins then that exactly what we will need to do. I hate it but as a father of LGBTQ teens motherfuckers going die trying to take my kids away to some camp.
I will fight when the time comes.
Fascism is alive and well in America, and it’s getting ready to seize power.
They have already seized power. They just need to officially install their dictator.
This is why the punishment for treason is hanging.
Takes the wind out of your sails a bit to see the leader of your violent ideology’s legs dangle and flail.
This dude needs prison for treason, and nothing else. Anyone else who says different is also making a case for jail for themselves.
nothing else.
A rope and a short fall would be ok too, and well within Biden’s power to protect the country.
TL;DR: we’re taking over control of the country, and as long as nobody tries to stop us, it won’t be violent.
It’s like when a thief robs your house and claims it’s the homeowners fault for the violence, “if they didn’t try to stop us it would’ve been peaceful.”
What a crock of crap.
Not entirely. I would much rather have a thief in my house than a fashist.
Because when he talks about “non-violence” he skips over the persecution of minorities and enemies of the state.
And enemies of the state can include anyone they want. For example pregnant women.
Yeah, the monster energy drinking bros don’t realize that if they’re not wealthy, their kids will be on the front lines.
Only once their kids are sent home in coffins en masse will these tides turn, if we go that route.
We can print all these articles. But until these people start getting their ass kicked every time they open their mouths they will continue to convert this country into a theocratic ethnostate. It is an extremist takeover and they are threatening violence way too freely.
They need to go to prison. Violence will just incite more violence. I understand the frustration, but it won’t end up as we want it if they think violence is the answer. It’s not only a high road. They will retaliate 3 fold. And they want the reason.
The slippery slope is like a gradual descent or gentle move to a lower place and it takes a while … the further you go, the faster you go down … eventually at one point, you’re traveling so fast down the slope that there is no more turning back and you have no choice but to fall off the edge.
That’s basically what happened in WW2. We’ve done what needed to be done then and we’ll do it now too.
I was hoping this time around we didn’t need to go all the way to a world war, but if the servatives insist, fine, I will humor them.

The president of the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday declared that a new revolution is already underway in the U.S., appearing to warn Liberals that violence could erupt if they tried to stop it.
Kevin Roberts, whose uber-conservative think tank is behind the highly controversial “Project 2025” blueprint for a second Donald Trump presidency, made the comment during an appearance on Real America’s Voice. “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” Roberts said.
Heritage’s Project 2025 calls for a huge increase in presidential power as well as a transformation of the federal government, replacing existing staffers with an army of those loyal to Trump. Roberts has previously said he sees his organization’s role as “institutionalizing Trumpism.”
In his interview Tuesday, Roberts said that despite “all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win.” “We’re in the process of taking this country back,” he said. “No one in the audience should be despairing.”
He also opined that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidents immunity for official acts is “vital,” mentioning Alexander Hamilton’s view of the importance of a “vigorous executive.” Roberts then turned his attention to “the radical left.”

“The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning,” he said. “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Talk of bloodshed has been a disturbing seam running through conservative rhetoric during this election cycle. Trump sparked controversy in March predicting a “bloodbath” for the country if he didn’t win in November, later saying he was only referring to the auto industry. The Republican National Committee launched a “Biden Bloodbath” website the following month amid the unusually high interest in the word.
In April, Trump was also asked unambiguously if he thought there’d be political violence if he loses in November. “I think we’re going to win. And if we don’t win, you know, it depends,” Trump told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of an election.”
