    So with the 1st Amendment dead, time to move on to the 2nd?

      They do seem to be begging for it. Isn’t funny how they stopped talking about the 2A all of sudden? NRA has been rather silent.

        I think the NRA is in the process of filing for bankruptcy and most of their executives are going down for embezzlement. (well in a world that makes sense the second part would actually happen.)

          Ofcourse they had …

          The way Trump was speaking of using the military on US soil months ago tells you it was thorougly discussed between him and his inner circle.

    Dude can fuck fight off. He’s not going to scare us into submission. He’s going to start a fucking civil war, and he’s an idiot if he thinks that’s not what will happen.

      Yup.

      … and he’s an idiot if he thinks that’s not what will happen.

      It’s what he wants to happen.

      That’s exactly what his supporters want, though. An excuse to start shooting The Blahs, Jews, foreigners, LGBTQ, uppity women, and people they know to be liberal, federal workers, Hollywood/news celebrities and politicians that they hate, etc…

          Will Americans get tired of being pushed around? They seem to prefer helping the fascists by pushing each other around instead, judging by the repeated attempts on Lemmy to place everything Trump does squarely under the responsibility of the non-voters.

          From my outside perspective, they like acting as the victim too much to actually fight back.

          That’s would appear to be the plan, yes. Push people to riot, declare marshal law, turn it into a full blown civil war and rely on the assumption that right wingnuts are more likely to be armed than those who oppose fascism. I fervently hope it does not come to that, and some way is found to stop it in time, but the future currently looks rather bleak in that respect.
