      Are you advocating for murdering political opponents? Sounds like fascism.

        I guess only if you’d consider the founders of the US fascist. if one really, truly believes that Trump is really, truly the end of the Republic and the start of a regime of Christian fascism, isn’t this the whole reason the founders gave us the second amendment? Sic semper tyrannis, the tree of liberty must be watered and all that?

        Imho, it’s a moot point, the Republic is already dead, the people behind P2025 and the support network behind the Christian Fascism movement aren’t going to simply vanish in a puff of smoke if Trump loses or something happens to him. They’ll just pick someone else and keep coming back until they get the levers of government. I don’t think political violence changes anything except how we shamble into fascism.

          If Christians are the reason fascism is winning, shouldn’t the Democrats be proposing legislation to tax the church and to label Christianity a domestic terrorist organization? I’m of the belief fascism is actually a minority position, but that Democrats put their worst candidate forward and then try to argue that you’re not voting for the candidate but against fascism. It might be a winning strategy, one time. This is not the first time though.

            Democrats should label the church a terror organisation.

            Lmao that’s maybe the worse thing they could possibly do. Might as well push a bill to ban all firearms and make it so all kids have to be trans.

          That is if you believe the only time we gained rights was the civil war.

            You’ve heard of race riots? How about labor / union riots? I’m not saying the same thing as the user you responded to - not ALL rights are won through violence certainly, but there have been rights secured since the civil war in the US through violence. So it’s more complex than “no rights since the civil war”

            That’s pretty good

            All of these comments saying it’s a false flag and staged feel like pure copium

            Unfortunately

              At the end of the day the real issue is Biden is not polling well. Now is the perfect time for Biden to step aside. It would change the news cycle and get people energized into the final stretch.
