He literally mentioned turning the military on cities earlier during the rambling speech he’s giving right now, in between talking about the quality of paper he likes and complaining about not getting a Nobel prize, because people are apparently shooting firefighters off ladders.

    The Time to Move Forward Is Now

    Ah, 2021. A time of triumph and jubilation. Democrats coming together and saying "We won last time so now we'll never lose again" and proceeding to write the opposition party off as toothless has-beens. What a magical moment for our country.

    Why can't we go back to brunch? I think the real reason is because leftist voters stabbed us all in the back. So we just need to pivot further to the Right if we want to reclaim our beautiful brunch-time again.

    They haven't made plans for that yet. Right now they are focused on fabricating national emergencies to cancel the midterms as the republicans are set to lose over a dozen seats as they destroy their communities and people tend to switch parties during midterms when the economy is struggling.

    He is also threatening all the top military brass to start killing american citizens and getting rid of anyone the nazi administration doesn't like.

    We are at that moment in time were shit is about to get real crazy and most of the country will be too busy and uneducated to do anything about it, just as planned.

    Yesterday. He wants the military to use Chicago as "training grounds" for our troops against US citizens.

    Also the EO he just signed making anyone who isn't a white Christian Republican a domestic terrorist gives law enforcement more ability to arrest and hurt the opposition.

    Democrats are his "enemy within" and he told all his generals to use their power to fight us.

    eyes on the New York mayoral election.

    It'll be a prelude to the general election.

    And trump is already interfering in that election. and I bet he'll deploy the national guard during the elections. Or straight up jail a candidate.

  • It's quite literally on the administrations to-do list.

    If you're worried about election integrity under the administration, please do volunteer, or work directly for your elections board if you can. We can really use the help, no matter where you are from.

    If you have some spare cash, don't be afraid to print out some fact sheets for people to take with them when voting, as long as you don't violate canvassing laws of course.

    Totally on board with your premise, they do need to punch up as much as they can. And it looks like they’re trying to do so this round of shutdowns.

    Nonetheless, this ultimately comes down to us. All of us. We can’t just sit here behind a computer and meme ourselves out of this disaster. We have to get out in the streets. We have to yell get mad and be angry. We have to hit them where they feel it. We have to organize. Get with upset farmers, get with the military vets whose benefits have been cut, get with the middleclass milquetoast moms who are starting to feel like something isn’t right with their grocery bills.

    Each and every individual one of us is a single drop in the ocean, but, if we all move in the same direction, we become a crashing tsunami.

    Like in Germany, Italy, and Spain it will not be the Liberals that fight back. Liberals will bend the knee and beg for forgiveness while Social Democrats will protest until the military massacres them all. But it will be the revolutionaries, the Socialists, the Anarchists, and the Communists that will resist.

    Yes, communist parties purge people who are not communists, are incompetent, or are otherwise detrimental to the purpose of the party.

    That is different from executions, which tend to be saved for desperate circumstances, nazis (not frequently enough, see Hungary), corruption and negligence resulting in mass human death, and people less reformable than Pu Yi.

    Different from executions like the 681k documented executions by the Stalin regime?

  • source

    No, those executions fall under desperate circumstances, Nazis, corruption and negligence.

    Though in practice, there were a lot of locals using the government to settle old scores, until further centralization restricted those abuses, see Life and Terror in Stalin's Russia

    I understand similar mechanics occurred during the Cultural Revolution, but I haven't done enough investigation to form a strong opinion there. I really should ask some old folk around here about their experiences.

    Almost as much as protests voters helped Trump do all this. Almost as much as the both sides are the same rhetoric helped Trump do all this.

    Gee, if only there were some way democrats could have got those voters back on board. But they were too insignificant to matter until centrists needed someone to blame for the results of their unwillingness to represent people not named cheney or netanyahu.

    When the electorate is polarized, you win by energizing your base to get more people to the polls. Abandoning your base one vulnerable group at a time not only fails to curry favor with the fascists that centrists desperately want to befriend, it also depresses turnout from your base as well. But since centrists like moving to the right and don't want to stop, they treat their positions as sacrosanct and it is the voters who must capitulate. After all, our politicians capitulate by example so frequently.

    If they were too insignificant to listen to, you don't get to blame them. If they are significant enough to blame, they're kingmakers and you should have been listening to them.

  • Great info. All the more reason to encourage as many people as possible to get out and vote against the party that is making it difficult to vote and vote for the party that wants to expand voting rights.

    This really shows that the GOP wins when less people can vote and that discouraging people from voting specifically helps the country move farther towards a fascist dictatorship.

    Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?

    Half the country didn't vote. If 1% of them leaned Biden they would still have had more impact than protest voters, and I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1%.

    I feel like I see protest voters called out 300x as much as nonvoters and I can never understand why it's so disproportionate.

    Democratic party could have won in a landslide for speak up for their base who didn't want a genocide, but no, they wanted it and stuck to it.

    Democrats are 100% to blame. And fuck you and everyone who tries to put the blame on people for having a conscience. If they had any semblance of representing their base, they fucked it up themselves.

    Democrats put themselves in a scenario where Trump would win and you're surprised he won?
