remember: MASKED ICE IS COSPLAY. Call 911. Make a fucking scene. Get “real” pigs out there. Know your state’s castle doctrine. Keep your phone at home.

It fucking sucks we need to bloc up to fucking vote.

    "real" pigs. Just remember forces and crosses if you're a minority before calling them.

    The sense of "respect my authority" to ICE might get overridden by "economic anxiety".

    absolutely. outcome is dependent on skin color and economics for sure. i just used the “call 911” remark to get something recorded in dispatch because the chances these things escalate

  • Hey now the OG Nazis also had the revanchists amongst the German nobility supporting them who did tend to be more intelligent, mind you they weren't really ideologically Nazis but moreso just wanted to get back at Britain and France. Not defending them but compare that to the modern billionaires and well the downgrade is noticable.

    So what you're saying is, we need to outsmart the ICE? What are your ideas, but I guess we need to know how dumb they are.

    Woah surrounding them with a crowd paying them compliments sounds like a really good tactic.

    We should reject the notion that Nazis were simply dumb because that view treats Fascism as an aberration of individual stupidity instead of a systematic process of capitalism in crisis. There is some subtle ableism in attempting to correlate "stupidity" with fascism.

    All part of the plan.

    First it’s this. They want this coverage- so, even this article is part of it. Next, they’ll kill someone. This too will also obviously make news . And with that, the message is sent:

    “Don’t go to the polls. It’s dangerous to vote against MAGA”.

    Think about it: He has publicly asked for Americans cities to be attacked, do you think he hasn’t told ICE to kill a few people?

    He will try to win through threats and intimidation, through cheating, manipulation… anything that will work.

    He is a pedophile facing life in prison and he is desperate.

    There has never been a more important reason to vote. Never in American history has the stakes been so high. And it’s a berry real threat that if we don’t vote against this traitor to his country, will we have the chance again- because if they win, they won’t have to “play nice” anymore. It’ll be all over.

    So however risky it ends up- it’ll be worth it to vote to protect the future of American democracy and the people that still believe in it.

    VOTE.

    Would you like to buy a bridge? There will be no consequences for Trump or his cronies regardless of who's in charge. Obviously getting them out of them out of the way is preferable, but Trump getting sentenced to anything meaningful is an astronomically small chance.

    "I've got a bridge to sell you" is an idiom that one would use on someone they perceive as gullible. Full disclosure I had to look it up too. Jive turkeys. I have to agree though. Neither major US political party is gonna do a fuckin thing to each other. No war but the class war.

    False. He's not facing life in prison, there will be no consequences for raping children.

    to protect the future of American democracy

    The non-existent future of American democracy. They may have disagreements on policy, but they both agree on the things that their donors care about. It's called the political ratchet, the repubs crank the ratchet right and democrats block any progress back to the left.

    I specifically recall hearing about, Chris Christie the ex-Governor of New Jersey (and yes the guy that ran for president), getting ridiculed and blamed for shutting down a NJ highway on election day, and by doing so altered the outcome of the election results?

    It's worth mentioning that Chris Christie was also the NJ governor when that huge organ trafficking case broke involving multiple politicians, and countries. The self acclaimed "kidney matchmaker", Brooklyn Rabbi Levy Izhak Rosenbaum was at the center of the case.

    NJ is also where the Trumps Taj Mahal was located. And where Trump's helicopter with all his Taj Mahal higher up coworkers died in a crashed. Trump offered up a reward for more information regarding the crash. It was later ruled to be helicopter blade fatigue.

    Worth pointing out half of those were BY this administration. Point is it's a trigger he's been dying to push when the situation gets dire, and currently the polls are showing the midterms are very much not in his favor right now.

    "it hasn't happened yet, therefore it won't happen"

    That's the logic you just used

  • source

  • hideshow 1 child comment
  • [–] 2 points 1 month ago

    No the logic I'm using is that the US is too large, too populous, too spread out, and too well-armed for martial law to happen all across the country. Not to mention that the federal government does not have the infrastructure to administer justice across the entire population, and they can't just throw everyone in jail because there aren't enough jails.

    But if you don't want to take my word for it, keep the receipts. Save this comment and come back to it on November 4 after we've had midterms without martial law being declared.

    It ain't happening. Nationwide martial law in the US has never been and will never be a thing.

    The only enablers are the ones who spread doom and the ones who capitulate and obey in advance.

    ICE also fed voter DATA to PALANTIR, so they know which polling stations to hit. likely they will be targeting swing areas, like they rigged in 24.

    I am curious. Could a group of concerned citizens show up at polling places armed and with signs saying they are there to defend anyone voting from any intimidation. Would that be technically legal?

    even if, they already are trying different shennagins to ge tthe votes thrown out, like that sheriff in california kept over 600k ballots. i imagine they would try something similar.

    closing the counting during the '24 was the most obvious sign they were cheating, but the DNC refuse to call it out, because they dint want to "label as being riggers"

    Problem is, they don't need to cull the complete half.

    And

    They are taking bites out of whatever's left of a fair election process in the USA, all over the place. The threat of actual physical violence, as horrifying as that is, is unfortunately only one of many efforts.

    Apes together strong.

    Buy guns; organize and practice with other people from your neighborhood; stockpile supplies; start using secure messaging services; practice mutual aid to provide each other with essential services so you don't need to go to a corporation or state for help for a year if shit hits the fan; recruit more members at protests; read literature on non-capitalist ways of living and practice them within your community to be more efficient and independent; decentralize so that if specific people get assassinated it won't disrupt the movement. All of these things are legal.

    Simply keep amassing power as a movement until you are attacked, until things pop off on a national level, or until you get a majority in congress.

    If you had started on this road with the re-election of Donald Trump, you would be in a pretty solid position right now. If a couple million others had done the same, you could make the fascists understand that rigging the election means things will pop off, and not in their favor.

    If you start now, you'll be in time for the second re-election of Donald Trump.

    Lmfao, frantically trying to find ways to attack the people who support you. I’m lgbt, so you’re bitching up the wrong tree sweetheart.

    Wake the fuck up and realize the problem isn’t solved with yelling at your own kind.

    Oh wait... you all had 10 years…

    Really making a case that you’re not heckling vulnerable people here 🙄 If you’re cis (and not even in the fucking US) you are not at the same risk as a trans person is. ‘Uhhmm I’m LGBT sweaty’ (really? All the letters?) doesn’t excuse shitting on people saying that ‘just go kys by cop or leave lol’ is terrible “advice”.
