My favorite part was when Hegseth talked about removing politics from the military, and then trump spent 20 minutes whining about politics.

    Hegseth disrupted the lives of 800 highly educated military leaders to call them fat. 🤣

    He meant remove Democrat politics, not GOP ones.

    Exactly.

    These scumbags talk one thing and do the opposite.

    They deserve the gallows before they take the rest of that shit country down with them.

    I'm afraid it's far too late for that. You think things are bad now? You just wait. Shit's gonna start getting extremely ugly when the massive house of cards that is the current US economy starts falling down - which I personally would normally peg to start happening in earnest by early next year, but with Trump deliberately destroying the very source that would let us all know the numbers behind what's actually going on in the economy all bets on timing are off. The longer it gets put off, the worse it's gonna be, however.

    I’m just pulling for some Americans to do the right thing and start putting holes in these fascists. Doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen though, they’re happy just memeing their way to hell.

    Unlike in the past, there are a million and one ways to avoid reality nowadays (heck, I'm doing so by spending time here). That, and the fact the bulk of the angry gun-owning types are on the MAGAt side of the isle. This crash is going to be like none before, so it's impossible to make predictions (beyond any obvious ones) on what will happen.

    Only one thing has ever stopped fascists and Americans are a bunch of goddamn cowards.

    While I agree we should be cautious and fight back, that's just not true. The Business Plot, for example, just sort of didn't happen and fizzled out. This isn't to imply nothing should be done, because we definitely need to work to ensure they don't achieve their goals, but Fascists have lost to less than bullets. This also isn't saying dead Fascists aren't desired. It's only stating that your comment isn't exactly accurate.

    Saying the only way to fight back is by killing people leaves a whole lot of people doing nothing. There's a lot more you can do besides picking up a gun. Your message plays into their hands, not ours.

    I don't think it would have fizzled out if Smedley Butler went with it.

    That's probably true, but the fact is that it did, with no shots fired.

    Again, this isn't saying what anyone should do, but there is plenty that can be done besides killing people. Almost no one is willing to do that, but there's still plenty of space for them to resist.

    Just like Christian’s don’t consider Christianity anything besides “the truth” American conservatives/maga/gop also don’t think their political beliefs are political, just “common sense”
