Get fucked Roger.

Get civil? You first.

"[...]And the people that are staying in their homes or doing the right thing need to be protected.”

So about those people staying in their home, 'doing the right thing' getting illegally broken into by ICE without the appropriate warrant...

They are preparing their base to accept martial law. It’s amazing how the so called “don’t thread on me” became “please daddy, thread hard on me”

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

We really should stop showing up. Stop showing up to work. Stop showing up to buy things. Stop showing up to sign up for the military. Stop reproducing.

A smart man once said, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me."

Just stay in your homes, huh? I thought they hated that.

“People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil,” the Texas Republican told NewsNation. "And until we do that, I guess we’re going to have it this way. And the people that are staying in their homes or doing the right thing need to be protected.”

Motherfucker is your ass really trying to give people a stay at home order?

Armed citizens need to protect themselves in groups. We need the equivalent of modern Black Panthers who open carry in large groups around police issues, just to provide the backstop of safety, should ICE wanna get froggy

Let’s call a general strike and stay home indefinitely…

“Just submit to our will! Trust us.”

Any free speech absolutist who would like to weigh in?

Coincidentally, a lot of .world mods would like us to stop complaining about ICE.

“People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil,” the Texas Republican told NewsNation.

Protests getting you down, lil' Rog? Going on too long? Getting too loud? Drawing attention you find irritating? Pulling in fence-sitters who don't want to get murdered by no-name thugs with guns and badges? People who actually know and love the Constitution and don't like you shitting on it? Neighbors using your repression to build strong communities for themselves and loudly bringing attention to your murderous ethos to spite you? Protesters not giving into your incitements to riot? Taking too long for an excuse to declare martial law? Don't want to lose your fascist party's power in the midterms?

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know how frightened you are that we might actually get the word to people you want to keep safely in your bubble until you're ready to strip them of everything they hold dear, too, and keep you from building a totalitarian state from the ruins of the democracy you're trying to destroy.

In fact, THANK YOU, lil' Rog. For validating the protests with your public acknowledgement without even the slightest idea that "sit down and shut up" is a nonsensical response for anyone interested in knowing WHY people are not doing just that. You personally may still have a grade school mindset, but many of us who have to work for a living are well capable of looking past the superficial, and find you nothing more than a scared, inconvenienced liar desperate to retain power.

“And until we do that, I guess we’re going to have it this way.”

I goddamn well hope so, you pedophile defending piece of shit. That and more.

Texas Republican says, "please...just let them tread all over you."

All hat, no cattle.

Demonstrating/Protesting is the peaceful compromise to the violent alternative. You want to force us to stop protesting? Okay.

I agree, let’s escalate!

Would be interesting to see what happens when a white mother gets shot on video in a major Texas city.

We haven't yet seen the beginning of how bad this is going to get. The administration knows they're going to get smashed in midterms to such a degree that they won't have any mandate left to trample the constitution. So they're likely to just go full rogue-nation while they can, and there's a good chance they will subvert further elections entirely.

It's not like the fucking Democrats are capable of doing anything but frowning sternly. We are living in the end-times for our nation people, I don't think we can undo this in any reasonable timeframe.

From the department of health and human services abolishing vaccines and vaccine research, to releasing a food pyramid that says eating red meat is as important as vegetables, to the blanket deregulation of dangerous AI development, to the elevation of massive surveillance programs on US soil, to the deregulation of corporate agendas, to the complete dismantling of all social protections for anyone who isn't a white male christian, to the expansionist, imperial takeover of neighboring nations, to the complete withdrawal from all alliances and international organizations, to all of our science and social services getting defunded or repealed, to squads of gestapo agents going to door-to-door asking for people's "papers please" to our media's inability to cover anything in good faith, to our lack of independent judicial oversight, to now our federal reserve being shaken down to wreck our entire economy until we live in a dark-ages hellhole, to protestors being executed without prosecution, and probably several dozen other massive destructive measures that have already happened, I think it's over guys.

We might be able to push this back a few steps if we all turn out and do our marches and our voting, but it's going to take a concerted effort by every American on both sides of the political spectrum to work together and restore normalcy to our country, and I don't see that happening as long as the left stays sheltered and unarmed and anti-social, and the right continues to live in their own atomized world where they are only fed news that appeals to their feelings.

But hey, at least 30% of the country is finally going to get their... their uh.... I mean, other than being able to be nazis in public safely, they're really going to suffer the worst living in red states. Nobody is winning here, none of the money being gutted from our government is going back to anyone. That needs to be your story you tell people. We're not getting anything back. Double meaning included.

Or we could all just be a bunch of "tourist" visiting a city - just like all the "tourist" that "just visited" the capitol on January 6th 2021.

"Freedom is being locked up in your house watching TV"

I’m a white dude who admittedly has t been very vocal.

Time to do some singing exercises and warm up the old pipes.

If the Americans had the same amount of holiday and paid vacation time as the 1st World European countries, there would be larger and more frequent protests. Especially now! Roger can F-OFF! ICE is not law enforcement, just a bunch of fucking uneducated thugs that would burn the US Constitution,

MAGA Rep Roger Williams, TX, got it.

Someone should go to one of these protests with a copy of the constitution - preferably in a scroll of some kind - so that when an ICE rapist comes up to them, said agent will tear it away in a fit of anger. Photographers need to be ready to see ICE shredding the constitution physically (to drive home the message they're doing it in general).
