Any Democrat or leftist in a gun club could have told you this a decade ago. They literally want us dead. Never forget that they're monsters, even the loved ones that raised you.

One day Trump will be gone, but the millions of fascists he empowered will still be spreading their poison, committing acts of terrorism, and doing everything in their power to destroy secular democracy and equality wherever they can.

This is a cancer we will need to eliminate using only methods our current constitution doesn't allow. America needs a world class denazification. These monsters need to feel existential dread for ever externalizing their fascism, as a matter of law. Peace, prosperity and a civil society simply cannot exist with these people in it and free.

I wholeheartedly agree, but I don’t think this country is capable. You call out anyone for their hateful thetoric and you are accused of being the one who is out of line. Americans are so unbelievably afraid of any confrontation or pushback that we will defend the evil asshole’s right to be an evil asshole, but never their target.

And Germany. And many other countries. The right is winning everywhere. The reality is people are upset and they think rightwing politics will solve it cause it gives them someone to blame.

This is correct.

The fact of the matter is capitalism has failed as was inevitable. Its now been proven that capitalism, even with socialist elements mixed in, simply does not work. Some of the best countries in the world, such as Sweden, now experience the rise of the far right.

The only solution is to abandon capitalism entirely.

Why even bother trying to make a joke at this point?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Sadly, it never was a joke

Republicans: Call for mass violence, murder, etc

Republican Voters: RABID CHEERS

Democrat: vaguely quote what a republican says

Republican voters: Mass outrage and calls for retribution against the liberal hate agenda

Pretty sure all you talking about guns and civil war are drastically overestimating MAGA. We just need to put out an AI video of Trump claiming drinking Drano makes you immortal or something and the problem will take care of itself.

I mean ICE is both a joke and a scary brute squad.

Sadly this is the answer.

With calls to start killing the opposition going unchallenged, it is only a matter of time until open civil war breaks out.

This isn't oniony. It's the fascist party embracing political violence. Like fascists do.
