What’s with the Republicans, don’t they like their country and democracy any more?
Nope. They found out most folks are cool with the gays, educated people found out the “blacks commit crime” is actually “poor people commit crime”, everyone uses thc, we’re increasingly done with religion, media is representative of more than white cowboys who can only grunt “I’m manly!”, and we are friends with aethiests, hindis, muslims, and jews.
Therefore we are obviously insane and have to die.
Don’t forget Mexicans. Most people are cool with us doing the shit jobs nobody wants, but they don’t like the idea of us being here.
It’s hard to remember all the people they hate, smh.
‘Foreigners’ (includes Americans from big cities) would cover it, lol.Not the 80s band Foreigner tho, I think they’re safe.
I dont think I know anyone who hates the 80s band Foreigner.
You would have to have double vision to hate them
My 63 year old failed jazz guitarist/Grateful Dead cover band friend does. He hates anything “pop.” He’s great at parties.
I like being able to buy Tamales early in the morning at Lowes. You all can stay as long as you wish.
We’re going to replace all the migrants with robots. Any day now. Just you wait.
They never really did.
It was all, always, just about themselves. They claimed to love the country because they just saw it as a rightful extension of themselves, and they claimed to love democracy because they just saw it as the process by which they got what they wanted.
Now that they’re faced with the fact that the country necessarily also accommodates other people and that democracy means that other people can get what they want, they have no reason left to pretend that they ever really valued either one.
So they’re instead diving headfirst into xenophobic fascism, in the hope that they can recreate a world in which the country exists only for them and the government serves only their interests.
They’ve been brainwashed by Conservative propaganda. The uber rich elites sow discord among the poors so they fight each other, and not coming after them. And it’s been done that way since the dawn of civilization. Fox News exists solely to scare the shit out of old white people by convincing them the blacks, browns, gays, and women who won’t stay silent in the kitchen are the reason they’re poor.
Democracy is only good when you’re getting what you want.
When you’re losing, its the Tyranny of the Majority, and it has to be stopped at all costs.
I’m old and out of shape, so I’m not the ideal soldier, but if the conservatives push that shit and there’s an organized resistance by sane, compassionate people who care about people, I’d try to do my part with them.
Have you seen the average repub?
They look like a baby Jabba the Hut and talk the same.
I mean, I’m not that old but I am out of shape but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to use a sniper rifle. I can just sit on a hill and pick off every red flag wielding red hat I see.
I did an indoc for scout snipers. The shit is no joke. Sitting on a hill is easy. Crawling to that hill and remaining in that position over the course of days with limited food and water, nowhere to piss, no shelter from any effects of weather or bugs or anything, that’s the hard part.
Maybe on the weekends. I work during the week. Depends on if I could get flexible scheduling and HQ had Wi-Fi.
All right Johnson, HR has decided that you can pick one day a week to war from home, but you’re only going to get halftime pay for that.
I’m honestly getting the fuck while I can if he gets elected.
Get passports for yourself and family now. After the election (if he wins) I’m guessing there’s gonna be a huge backlog.
Yeah that’s definitely something I’ve been considering
You need to do it now. It takes a long time especially with kids. Pay to have it expedited. I have them for all my kids.
Getting the fuck what?
Out … Getting the fuck out. Mobile keyboard missed a word, but I find it too hilarious to correct 🤣
Sure. I have a lot of issues with the US but if fascists overthrow the constitutional order every American has a moral obligation to restore the rule of law.
I am a veteran of two wars, first priority is getting my kids out somewhere safe. Doubt I would come back after that. Will cheer for you all, but with republicans existing the USA just doesn’t even feel worth fighting for.
Every single person who votes Trump is a traitor. Yeah, you, that random person (not the guy I am replying to) who is reading this and voting Trump. Fuck you, traitor.
I can only do so much due to disabilities, but I would support all resistance to a fascist Nazi takeover
You can pilot the flamethrowing robo-dogs for us.
Physically? I couldn’t do it, not anymore. Too many health conditions.
But anyone bringing trouble to my street or doorstep, is going to have a bad day.
Nice try, glowie!
This is the most fed post I’ve ever seen
I don’t know what that means…
glowie (noun, internet slang, far right, derogatory): A government agent or informant entering an online space, aiming to surveil extremists. Derived from Terry Davis stating that it was like CIA agents glow in the dark.
That’s what a glowie would say!
Would you fight a civil war?
With who? Against… who? Like, do I just go down to the city center and start swinging punches? Or are we saying there’s some kind of mobilized resistance movement that’s led by… uh… who, exactly?
Don’t openly agree to commit crimes on the internet
Fair enough, do you think a some person would fight in a civil war?
I’m chronically ill, while I would certainly help in a capacity which avoids direct combat situations; I still would help those on the left combat the fascist Republicans!
hmmm, if I live there, I would probably try to move out.
or go to a state where this shenanigan doesn’t get acknowledged. not really sure if state laws were meant like that.
maybe this is project 2025 is a multi-tier attack with one layer in the form of fear mongering?
No. If the bad man gets re-elected I’m taking off.
Whats that?
Demographics are trending away from conservatism and since they are almost to the point where they can no longer win elections, they want to install a permanent conservative dictatorship.
This has been a long time coming, I remember hearing on the radio in 2008 that projections showed conservatives couldn’t win elections if current trends continued for ~20 years, and they did. In conservative speak they call this the “great replacement theory” but it’s standard population math that a freshman math major could perform. They frame in a way to make stupid people think something nefarious is occurring. In reality, conservatives are the shrinking minority that is attempting to cling to power.
Just look back to the last time a conservative won the popular vote. I believe it has been over 20 years. The electoral college can only carry conservatives for so long.
To paraphrase a famous quote, “At some point conservatives will have the choice of abandoning conservatism or abandoning democracy.” Which do you think they’ll choose?
Which is why it pisses me off when people go, “Third Party/Not Voting”. Other elections, fine. This election? Dems need to win. Period. They need all three branches of government and enough of a margin to prevent getting Manchin’d. Anything less means there will not be a second chance
Destroy the GoP first, THEN focus on smacking around the Dems
The last was Bush Jr but it was narrow, there were two wars raging, and he was in office already. The last first termer was Bush Sr. That was 36 years ago.
Even the EC cant hold it much longer. A blue Texas means the odds of a GOP win become in single digit probabilities. Go to Nate Silver’s site and play with the possible maps yourself.
Of course in an ideal world they would look at this and try to change to match what the population wants.
I don’t think it would be very civil TBH
