-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

Ngl I'm thankful that we got incompetent fascism that has no true ideological basis but just chauvinism, racism and cruelty which was already baked into the American zietgiest.
What I'm honestly most worried/anxious towards is what the summer will bring and the current trump response to any type of protests, cuss that'll be a true moment in history when the entire facade of the seperation of powers in the US crumbles and we see if Trump has successfully couped the military or if there will be a likely limited military exchange between various fractious parts, not to mention the fucking state national guards and where that whole ball of wax ends. Last but not least is there people in the military dumb/fanatic enough to go either full nuclear or allow carpet bombing runs on American soil.
MAGA wants the cops/army to machine gun a crowd of liberal protesters so bad, and I have a sinking feeling that will happen at least before the end of this term, if not the year. Hell they might just do it themselves freikorps style. its going to be on camera though, and it will be viral and instantly memeified by the fascists. They are going to want everyone to see them or the authorities "own" the libs. Maybe they'll even fuck that up by massacring a bunch of retirees trying to get the phones at the social security office turned back on.
God it's sad I can see this happening, especially with murdering just some random protesting retirees likely in bumfuck Iowa or Indiana
Modern day equivalent of Bloody Sunday.
My fear is someone will embed into a peaceful boomer protest and pop off a few rounds in some direction, likely at cops, inviting return live fire into the crowd. Robert Fedvans made some ominous prediction of this based on some interaction he had on reddit. Despite our general feelings towards him, he likely has access to a wide network, and I wonder if this "reddit interaction" was actually him receiving some warnings of this possibility from friendly contacts in intelligence or noise from various fascist death cult discord servers/telegram channels. I could see one of these psuedo-MK ultra style groups groom some wanna be nazi school shooter into sacrificing his life to kick off A24 presents Civil War.
I think a comment like this is fun to write but honestly very far from reality. I don’t think there will be protests organized in a way that would invite this sort of cartoonish state hammer at all. It’s almost like going through the motions of a descent into fascism, but not really reaching any of the dramatic milestones because there just isn’t any resistance to it, and would be fascists doing it don’t really know what to do with that. And then the object not in very much motion continues to stay not in very much motion, despite the spectacle
My money is on, as others have stated, likely some initial stochastic terrorism from modern day brown shirts gangs that escalates allowing the need for some form of overreach (I mean Hell they had unmarked vans black bagging people in Portland in the previous presidency during the 2020 protests), all in all I expect this to be a quicker speed run but without tact just messy violence and crackdowns.
