He will need to be protected by the people.
These snowflakes are terrified of this guy.
I'm so tired of Petey Potatotown.
Core Features
One Ruler: Power belongs to a single leader or a small group with no free elections.
Extreme Pride: People are taught to love their country above all else, often looking down on other groups.
No Freedom: The government uses police and military force to silence anyone who disagrees.
Strict Control: Businesses and daily life are heavily watched and run to match the goals of the state.
What does history teach us about stopping fascism?
I would take the last one… but it seems more the contrary these days
Edit: probably it wasn’t clear: I meant the business part. People are not influencing the state evidently
I would take the nationalization of vital industries, like space travel, air travel, trains, education, and healthcare... but
yeah, not that.
Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant.
Added an edit given it wasn’t clear
Tommy Tuberville can suck my nuts from the back.
Wait this was the guy who halted the promotion of a whole bunch of Pentagon personnel because he was mad that the military was covering abortions, right?
Sadly, this trend of someone saying an incredibly reasonable thing that is in line with modern civilization and a MAGAt dropping the amazing reply of calling them stupid without providing any evidence, counterargument, or any effort at all seems to be resonating with low information voters. Things are not looking good, gang.
tuberville needs to be more afraid
I think he is afraid. He's affraid that the rise of the DSA will let Americans see a better option, that the fearmongering is on its last leg before dying out, and the poor will realize who the true targets for their resentment. Whether its true or not is purely speculative. I mean the good liars do a great job of showing how stupid MAGAts are. But, the possibility is now more apparent than ever.
Needs to be shot.
Made to walk the plank in shark infested water
A senator openly calls for arresting a mayor, without naming any crimes, since none were committed, and sending him to the illegal prison where only innocent people are sent and tortured for no reason other than guards' enjoyment.
People like him belong in high security prisons, ideally far away from society. Assuming they won't receive capital punishment.
A cage in the desert is fine. Pay minimun wage for an intern to feed him.
The high security prison will likely end up being a five star hotel where he gets full access to the outside anyhow.
So, exactly on brand from the grand old pedo party
Nick Saban if you can hear me right now I have a favor to ask, I know YOU know Tommy Tuberville is dumber than a sackful of hammers, so please use the absurd level of influence you have over the state of Alabama to call for someone in Alabama to take care of him if you know what I’m saying.
Someone murdered a bunch of sentimentally valuable trees for you without your asking, they would jump at this opportunity
Don't insult a sackful of hammers. At least those can be useful...
Someone should throw old Tommy in the klink as well. That dude is dumber then a sack of nails.
Alabama guy here. So disappointed in my state. I’ve been pushing for Doug Jones, but I keep getting, “I don’t like Doug Jones!” He’s better than an ignorant washed up Florida man half ass football coach. I’ve not heard the sack of nails before. I’ve heard box of rocks bag of hammers. Gonna keep it and add it to my repertoire.
I know you mean your politician, but I want you all to elect Doug Jones the actor in full Abe Sapien cosmetics.
Another American Politician showing more care for Israel and Bibi than for his own constituents or country.
God we really, desperately need to root these people out of seats of power.
Isn't "thug" one of those far-right dogwhistles? Calling him "towelhead" would have been too on the nose
When politicians say things like that with no repercussions, that's when you should know you are no longer in a respectable democracy
Yea, any respectable democracy would have shut the city down with protests until this fuckwit steps down.
For the fuckests of sakes, you had a president who had to step down because he got a blowjob. Granted, that wasn't okay, but calling for imprisonment and possible torture of your political opponents because they give half a shit about international law is fucking insane.
Clinton did not step down because he got a blowjob. He did not step down at all, in fact.
It stopped being a respectable democracy when Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was still able to continue his campaign with no consequences
he couldnt find a good enough crime (a low bar) so he just said "you just wait for it! he will be an horrid criminal soon enough!!! we need to throw him in before that happens!!"
And that will soon be the excuse for rounding up all minorities
Tommy Tuberville sounds like a Stan Lee character that Spider-Man fights as a villain when he tries to go on holiday.
To me it sounds like an angry sentient inner tube from a shitty water park. Tommy hates Thomas the tank engine, who happens to be completely oblivious to his existence.
This should be an impeachable offense for any elected official.
I agree! And since we're dreaming, we need a way for the People to directly impeach federal ~~employees~~ elected or appointed officials (edited). I'm so sick of witnessing impeachable offenses on a daily basis while our "representatives" sit on their thumbs, counting their bribes.
Absolutely not federal employees, federally elected officials yes.
You don't want to empower random people with the ability to fire Dan at the CDC for working on the covid vaccine. Dan is a federal employee
I'm really curious if he/they recognized the meme potential of this when they made it. They both seem pretty smart, so I think it has to be a consideration at least. Maybe it was the entire goal? Regardless, it's perfect and I love seeing it every time.
I always get Tommy confused with this guy, Troy Nehls. Both seem like complete dumbass trolls that if you are ever stuck with them for any period of time, they will bore you with tales of their HS sportsball days or the ways they killed animals recently (hunting/fishing).

This is a nice case study about why democracies should never ever ever tolerate the existence of zones outside the rule of regular law. Guantanamo in this idiot's brain is a stand-in for an oubliette.
Ironically, this rhetoric from a politician should be an arrestable offense.
