It sure is fun seeing our tax dollars pay 30 racist shitstains to go terrorize one man in his home.

    Remember when conservatives were claiming we needed to cut costs a year ago and that's why they were voted the way they did. Federal expenses are higher than ever, new jobs haven't met population growth nor has there been a single plan to better that since Trump became president. "We want peace" yet they make excuses for threats to several countries and attacks made on multiple countries. Our imports are up year over year, not down. Meaning any bs someone tells you that tariffs were supposed to help is is bullshit.

    The only thing that happened is they taxed the American people to shit, threatened citizens, attacked citizens, killed citizens, and are redistributing the money to the rich. A shit ton of money being given to banks/wallstreet to keep the economy from looking like a collapse.

    Where are those loans going... Probably to fund more data centers to eat up the energy supply and raise energy costs for the average person even father... With 0 plans to expand infrastructure to support the people.

    200 billion dollars later. More than any militaries except the us and china.

    Predictably the main motivation for congress and the executive is extracting money for their pals. That follows for all of them, but the republicans are next level borrow and spend. They will max out the credit card before they lose power in all liklihood.

    But, why not? It's not like people are going to do anything about it...

    Checks comment history

    Nope, talking shit about how all Americans are lazy cowards is literally all of their recent contributions to political posts* 🙄

    I bet you could set up a macro to contribute more of value than danekrae with a single line of code.

    *except for their correct assessment that Danish FM Lars Løkke is a worthless sack of shit. Of course, they then revert to the useless schpiel in that comment too 🤦

    If you can't be part of the solution how about you just shut the fuck up.

    A lot of us are organizing and are going out pretty much every weekend to protests. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

    Our current situation really is the culmination of almost 70 years of rightwing efforts. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.

    The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they're controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It's really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they're winning.

    The coup was successful, they're in power and if they don't want to give it up they won't.

    Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

    Yeah, that doesn't work so well when there's a dozen or more of the fascist bastards and they're all more heavily armed than you are..

    That black panther guy put it correctly..

    I can't find the video... but basically it was "Roll with more of us than them and carry bigger weapons."

    He's not wrong.

    The second you draw your gun, ICE has a case against you.

    They obviously don't need to have anything at all against you to cause violence or even death.
    I'm not saying people should start shooting, this is just a terrible no-win scenario.

    It's like this old joke. Draw your gun and you're dead. Being right legally doesn't help you one bit if the Gestapo are after you. Fight back, sure, but don't be stupid thinking the law is going to protect you here

    Organised, entitled and now empowered vigilante racist groups.
    Will we shortly be seeing businesses "repatriated" to TRUE American ownership?
    Will we shortly be seeing black and brown people hanging from trees?

    I know having cameras won't always change the situation you're in but I'm glad he did have cameras so at least we could see what happened and so there might be a chance of there one day being justice.

    I urge everyone to get security cameras.
