Yeah I went bug eyed there for a sec as a fellow resident

I was so fucking confused lol

Don't worry, if he takes over those two your turn won't be far behind.

Fuck the mods

First off, to be clear, I don't agree with this statement, I think it's the wrong stance.

But after that, I think this is a really an interesting point. [In general I understand a policy of not inciting violence] but if for instance, (purely hypothetically) the country were to fall into civil war (a crazy suggestion I know), wouldn't this policy instantly seem inappropriate?

I mean, encouraging people to join the war effort would be a matter of course, to quash that sentiment and silence those voices seems unethical.

As we slip closer to that possible outcome, surely the time for seriously talking about violence would come before the first shot is fired, right? So where do you draw that line? At what point is a statement which incites violence "violating site rules" and at what point is it "legitimate discussion of impending hostilities".

And I for one, am very interested in how mods feel about this question.

edit for clarity in brackets

Actively overturning an election bc the other party won

The election is in November ...

Why just one side? Keep pushing it in until he can feel both sides.

Do. Not. Underestimate. This. Fascist.

America is on the brink.

He's basically already invaded LA. Don't know why people think this is unbelievable.

It is until it isn't.

There's no way he'd implement a 250% tariff. That's just crazy.

This is dementia ramblings.

Whether it is or not, are you willing to risk spending the rest of your life in an authoritarian state?

Trump is a fucking idiot. The people behind him are not. We're already way further down this path than we should be. Every dipshit thing he says needs to be taken extremely seriously.

You Americans always skip to shootouts for some reason. You went from "I don't have stamps at home so I am skipping voting this decade" to fantasising about shootouts with police real fucking quick, skipping millions way more useful and way more non-community-destructing ways to resist, as if resistance isn't the point, but dying "glorious" death is.

Sure. That 1911 will sure help against that V-22 dumping Marines on your front lawn.

Yup.

If you even dabble in history you know that the best time to purchase firearms and start training was yesterday. The second best time is today.

This is not alarmist shit. We have crossed some serious thresholds already. Fascism is absolutely here. If enough American citizens make it clear we're ready to use our 2nd amendment right as originally intended, then we can potentially make them fear enough for their safety to limit their fascist actions before things get really dark.

Because if we don't, then this continues spiraling and a lot of people are going to die and it's going to take a lot longer for things to get back to normal.

Again, this is not doomsaying. This is real shit. Pick up a history book. We're already well down the path. The Germans didn't think it was getting too serious until it was too late.

Arm yourselves. Help your friends and family arm themselves. Train with them. Put pressure on your state-level politicians to create a state militia.

It can, and will, happen here if we don't push back.

yeah... all the militias in my area are magat infested circlejerks filled with the dough boys or neo-nazis that religiously larp their squeal team six fantasies.

the only benefit would be the hotwife couples that you could meet but even then the various amounts of VD you would be exposing yourself to would make the endeavor worthless. you'd be safer picking up a prostitute. at least then you wouldn't have to listen to hours of brainless fox news propaganda just for fifteen minutes of mediocre sex.

reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts

It kind of is that too, its a real slippery slope where if people see someone with some fairly mild goals actually improve the lives of the people they have sworn to represent, other people might ask for it in their states. Cant have the people seeing value in a government representing them, how would u be able to balance that while continuing to let the corporations you really represent keep no lube fucking them to death?

You have to frame it which laws he'll be prosecuted for. Other wise you might have some sort of hope

Laws don't apply to him.

both because he is legally allowed to break the law, and even if anyone tries to sue him to stop, the supreme court will end the knee and alow it.

there's no rule of law in the US.

asking what law he broke is 100% irrelevant.

As if that has stopped him from doing things before

can someone list which laws he broke saying this in his capacity as POTUS?
