    When they say ‘martial law’ what they mean is a coup. That’s what it would entail. They are demanding that our republic be dissolved and a fascist dictatorship be put in its place. Don’t let conservatives slide on this. They are enemies of democracy and need to be called out for it.

        Not the person you asked, but I couldn’t read it. It was so fucking disturbing I had to stop. Can’t imagine I’m the only one.

    You know _something _ is going to happen. They’re not going to accept political defeat.

    Don’t forget:

    We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

      Which translates to “Don’t you fucking dare get in our way, or we’ll make the streets run red in a river of blood”

        I think they will be quite surprised should they attempt it. I don’t think they have understood how easily DIY drones could take out top brass targets in this day and age. They are very much not safe.

          or how many liberal, left wing gun owners there are.

          There are a lot. We just go below notice because we’re not psychopath ammosexuals trying to sexually assault our firearms (incidently, the sig p320 is probably an incest baby from their gun fucking)

      It is EXTREMELY wishful thinking to think that even if the midterms result in a MASSIVE loss for the president that it will result in any change whatsoever. He’s already ignoring and executive ordering to cancel out acts of Congress. Replace EVERY single member of congress with a democrat and it STILL doesn’t matter because Congress has no teeth whatsoever. The ONLY outcome of a massive loss will be a momentary loss of face that he will just spin his own reality around anyway, and everything will continue on business as usual.

      God please let it be bloody. Dear lord in heaven let this be bloody.

      If we don’t make it bloody, they win. Historically the best way to get what you want is violence. Like it or not, balls in our court

        They’re not here, pal. All flavors of lefites are from vaguely center-left to “it goes that far???”

        But none of the right that I’ve seen.

          Yeah IMO the closest we have to conservatives here are the Tankies, which can come across as MAGA at first glance because they both like licking boots.

        So because the choices are evil or useless, you say nothing is preferable which ultimately gives evil the victory.

        Dems suck. They have my whole life.

        Republicans vary from stupid to straight up evil.

        In a choice between “sucks” and “evil,” I know which I choose every time. In case it isn’t clear to you, I am of the firm stance that something that sucks can be tolerated or even turned into something beneficial in the long run. Evil is just evil and has no place in society.

        “Don’t support the dems” hands Republicans everything they want.

        I wish the blues had a spine or even a real platform from which to launch anything sensible. At least with Obama he made healthcare his platform, and he was so adamant about it that even the Republicans had to deal with it. Was it a stunning success? No, because it was shot full of holes in congress and crippled before it ever got off the ground by the original McConnell group. Obama was not at all representative of my beliefs in most of the rest of his actions, but the man did his best to effect positive change. Nobody else has done that or anything close since, and prior to that we have to go all the way back to the Depression and public works programs to find anything similarly beneficial to the public. Oh, and Social Security. Which has been gutted by - wait for it - Republicans.

        Dems are responsible for allowing the overton window to shift so far right and they are rightfully vilified by actual lefties for it.

        They’re still better than the alternative.

        What self reflection do you do when you realize that the opposition party that you shill for

            Nah dude, I just really have a thing for calling out bullshit arguments

            Here, let’s make it easy for everyone. Point out where the shilling occurs:

            ‘well, I didn’t vote for him’

            ‘both sides are the same’

            ‘why do you support genocide?’

            ‘no wars president’

            ‘he knows how to run it like a business’

            ‘im a fucking moron’

            ^^^all the above groups are the same

            Maybe you don’t actually know what the word means and were just using it wrong? Or is that too charitable?

        At least they can vote. Many people don’t have that luxury. Yet they threw it away first chance. What’s next? ‘oh no one votes, so we should cancel elections next time?’ They have no idea how good they have it.

    You know, when you say the same shit for 50 years, it starts to lose efficacy somewhat. Every two years.

    “This is the most important election ever”

    “Martial law they will load us into trains Jade Helm”

    “Fascist coup, save us from the fascists”

    This is known as “misdirection”, they do it because it works. They want you to think it’s a battle of good vs. evil. They bOtH use the other party, they want to distract your attention from the puppeteer to the hand puppets.

    “This puppet on the right hand is evil! Stop the evil puppet!!! Save me from the right hand puppet oh my God please save me” says the left hand puppet.

    “No! God says that I am the good puppet, left hand puppet wants to drag you into Hell! We must stop the lying left hand puppet to save our civilization!” says the right hand puppet.

    The puppeteer is JP Morgan; if you look closely, you’ll see his lips are moving, and the puppets aren’t actually doing the talking.

    They are the show. Enjoy the show.

    Vote! I vote every election. Because it’s funny.
