Yes and they don’t hide it.

Like, hard "R"?

He's a white supremacist fascist piece of shit so he means minorities not imprisoned and enslaved & fair elections where one person holds one vote not weighted by gerrymandered counties or low population states when referring to left-wing violence.

Isn't it interesting how they never give actual examples when they say shit like this?

Yeah, you know! Left wing violence! Like that gang that wears the masks, always going around dogpiling and point-blank-executing U.S citizens at home, in church, on the street... That kinda violence? Pfffft.

Republican policy is exceedingly simple and always boils down to one simple statement: "It's okay when we do it."

A democratic republic is a flavour of democracy, just like a constitutional monarchy is.

The Republican party have been using that line to foster anti-democratic sentiment for decades. My trumper dad is literally at the point where he has told me, "we don't want democracy. Democracy means 'mob rule'".

A democratic Republic is a democracy though...

Red state education? The US is a representative democracy. The word "democracy" does not automatically imply direct democracy.

The magats intentionally play these childish word games so they can justify their authoritarian, anti-American wet dreams.

It's actually an original of mine. I used it so often, i can't even remember on which platform i used it first... Recently i updated it with the Italian flag.

The crazy loons thought they would win such a confrontation. I am fully aware that the best possible outcome is lose-lose. I just have to try and make them lose more.

In 1944, the US Office of Strategic Services published the Simple Sabotage Field Manual; a document aimed at the unhappy citizens of fascist nations, to instruct them on how to sabotage the economic and military capacity of their own nation. I'm not saying that Oskar Schindler ever read it, but the movie line "Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy" is definitely in the same spirit.

One need not work in weapons manufacturing, either. The manual suggests sabotage techniques for every kind of worker. For example, office workers could help decrease their fascist nation's economic power by insisting that every decision be made by committee, slowing output.

The manual is fascinating in that it's focused on people who are afraid to be "heroes", instead suggesting sabotage methods that entail little to no personal risk.

I see you as an immediate threat, because the problem is that we haven’t been taking people like you seriously.

Wow, welcome to fucking 2003. Are you going to actually do something now or have you tired yourself out already?

I see this sentiment a little more frequently than I see the following that I'll paraphrase:

"They're doing this to egg on a response [so we should not give them what they want by pushing back]" is an accidental or intentional PsyOp campaign.

If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?

It's an incredibly effective PsyOp when arguably the largest downside of anti-MAGA people is their rampant apathy, and that sentiment is like gasoline to a fire. "Oh, the enlightened response is to stay home like I did in 2024? Sick."

I wish we could just blame this on Putin but the truth is our own ruling class have been working towards this for the last 70 years.

Acid, lava, oil on fire, hungry rats. Anything, really.

I'd pay money to see that. Even better if it's trans people and people of color doing it.
