I just can't believe Americans haven't figured out that Trump just tries to divide them on literally every issue so he can maintain power. Are they really that stupid? This should be the main message. Never, ever has a president tried to divide people so much to a point he would be happy if civil war broke out.

    Republikkkans want to plant the seeds without opening calling for mass shootings so that when it does happen they can say they never TOLD them to do it. All while secretly smiling and laughing and egging the morons on.

    The most dehumanizing party of all time

    Hasn’t the right already been killing those that they deem that are on the left? A couple were shot in Minneapolis and a girl and a protester were shot in Texas, not to mention assorted mass shootings by right wingers. There doesn’t seem to be any consequences either.

    They're going to be real surprised when they find out how many of us are also armed.

    Come on. Any of the US “left” that hasn’t already started fighting back isn’t going to.

    Unless, what, you’re waiting for the fascists to cross some imaginary red line they haven’t already crossed? If that’s the case, where is that line? Be specific.

    As a gun owner and former small arms instructor, like... I'm happy, but I also feel like I got isekai'ed when I see fellow left sided folks imply that privately owned guns aren't basically the equivalent of the One Ring. They are simply a tool which bestows the ABILITY to use violence at a distance. What you choose to do with that ability is entirely up to the holder. A sword can be used as a shield as well, but a shield cannot be used as a sword if needed

    Maybe not a sword, but shields can have spikes and sharp edges. Even as a blunt instrument a shield is a weapon not just a defense.

    I'm going to press x on that one. What you say is true to an extent, but you would never grab a particularly pointy shield as your only weapon if you had to go on an offensive. Those things make it more effective from a defensive standpoint, but if I had to get into a fight I would choose a knife over any shield you could show me if I could only pick one, especially if I knew my opponent was going to also have an offensive weapon.

    I've never been on the "ban all guns" side of the argument. I've had access to them since I was 10 and was a line coach when I was in the Navy. I'm just glad to see some of us on the left start to get it.

    Okay then... don't be surprised if they start shooting back.

    I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.

    Well I mean it was the Kirkaversary, what would that be without Republican stochastic terrorism?

    Well, Republicans already defend cops shooting people who are merely suspected of illegal activity, not a big stretch to convince them democrats are a danger to America and should be killed in the streets

    Meanwhile i get banned from bluesky for saying the IDF are just as bad as Hamas

    Arguably the IDF is worse than Hamas

    MUCH worse.

    Contrary to Hasbara gaslighting, Hamas are mostly untrained civilians and extremely under equipped volunteer soldiers fighting against the oppression and wanton slaughter of one of the most advanced, powerful and numerous militaries in the world.

    Israel could create a peaceful one state solution within a year if they wanted to. They have that power, but they've been actively choosing not to exercise it for 80 years.

    You didn't seriously expect them to challenge this, did you?

    It is worth reporting on, as the Admin ramps up violent rhetoric and tries to lie about the left being terrorists.

    It might open normie's eyes to the hypocrisy.

    I'm pretty sure the Murc's Law Media will run cover and talk about Kirk or that CEO that got shot by Luigi.

    As if those things are in any way the same thing.

    But then this is the same media that continues to mostly downplay the day of terror and attempted coup that donnie led - which we call J6 now.

    I wonder if lefties start pewing repubs and just say they thought it was democrats. Probably get away.
