Are they gonna assassinate lawmakers? Commit hate crimes? Vote for a fascist and have goon squads go around and abduct people off the street without due process? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago I understand your point, but I'm telling you: it can get worse. Right now they're only sampling those things. Dipping their toes. In fact, this whole "Occupy major cities with the National Guard" shit has been fishing for an incident between civilians and troops to justify putting the hammer down. They want to go further and intensify what they're already doing, but they need a reichstag event. That's what this potentially is, but they could fumble it. Hopefully they do fumble and Charlie Kirk's death just becomes a footnote. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply)
