MAGA is a terrorist organization.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 68 points 8 months ago

The GOP is a terrorist organization.

I could really go for some potatos right now im fucken hungry.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

They're saying the quiet parts out loud and there's no turning back

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 112 points 8 months ago

If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that's a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 32 points 8 months ago

For anyone wondering, Snopes says it was real in 2022. Perhaps a "joke", but not a wise one.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

That's just the Trump excuse. Everything atrocious that is said that gets pushback is a joke.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

"He tells it like it is!"

"Come on, he's obviously just joking!"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Pretty much. He "tells it like it is" when they agree with him and it's a joke when they don't. Reality is fungible for them.

[-] actually@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.

Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .

But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

wtf? Why christians wouldn't be considered terrorists?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I reckon it's supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can't be terrorists, unless they are "mixed" race or have been in a Mosque

[-] owsei@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

I've re-read the last paragraph. I'm quite slow, it's 100% sarcasm.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It got me the first time too. That's how you know it's great sarcasm!

Hmm...

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Nope, just plain ole terrorism.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Stochastic Terrorism means advocates for but does not personally commit it. There have been shootings, that isn't stochastic.

[-] Samvega 12 points 8 months ago

The stochastic terrorism happened before the shootings. Both forms of violence need to be stopped.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

That's true, yeah.

"Arizona Democrats closed their field office in Tempe, Ariz. after three shooting incidents. The office served as a base for the Sun State’s congressional campaigns and Vice President Harris’s presidential effort in recent weeks.

"The Tempe Police Department said the latest incidents on Oct. 6 involved gun shots fired at the Democratic campaign office at around 12:30 a.m. They said no one was inside the building. Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander with an unknown plate, which was seen on the premises. "

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 51 points 8 months ago

Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander...

Good news, that narrows down the field significantly. There can be only one.

[-] TheFonz@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

HERE WE AAAAAARE

BORN TO BE KINGS

[-] harmsy@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

WE'RE THE PRINCES OF THE UUUUUUNIVEEEEEEEERRRRRRRSSE!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

God damn it, why can't reality at least have a soundtrack by Queen?

[-] lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago
[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Too bad we can't gild people here, because this deserves it.

[-] style99@lemm.ee 57 points 8 months ago

Republicans really hate democracy.

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

They are a Communist grass roots terrorist group. We should treat them as so.

[-] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 months ago

Wait, how are Republicans Communist???

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

Should have stayed open. You're letting those fucking terrorists win

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is a good thing. The constitution in intentionally design to preserve entrenched power. It's why we're the most powerful country in the world.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 52 points 8 months ago

"Whoever has the most guns and the best aim makes the rules" is probably not the best way to run a country.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

People don't seem to realize that "live by the sword" is just the first half of the common expression. On a related note, if we don't have a plan to retake the southern states (again) stashed away next to the Canada invasion documents, somebody ought to get on that.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

The plan to retake the southern states is quite literally just to let them kill themselves. Not one of them are self sufficient without federal funding. If they decide to bite the hand that feeds they're going to have an awful time trying to find their own food.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

The plan

Who's plan? That's sure as hell not my plan. I don't want a bunch of children starving to death.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

With their chronic conditions and co-morbidities, all you would have to do is cut off the medication supplies and they would be done within weeks.

[-] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If by “goof thing” you mean a bunch of gun-nut goofballs are trying to undermine democracy and succeeding, then I agree.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

This is the dumbest shit I’ve read all week. If you want to talk about entrenched power, then look no further than The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society as well as their billionaire donors. No one is taking shots at them, of course.

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Yes obviously not. Democrats are controlled opposition anyway intended to grind down any really social movements into the graveyard of democracy. Preserving capitalism. Which is a good thing.
