What was peaceful protest supposed to be a replacement for? I forget.
Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.
I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.
America needs to hire the French to do their revolution for them.
It kind of worked the first time...
They feel protected because they think a violent populist reaction will be a few more lone actors.
And as long as Dems keep pushing the “violence is bad and what he wants, just vote and primary people” narrative it will be.
Well, the Dems are sort of right, violence is bad, and it is exactly what the fascists want, but it's also the only way that oligarchs have ever been removed from power. They never go willingly.
Violence is a tool, one they want only for themselves to use against the people to maintain their power.
They want 1939, give 'em 1789.
We really should respect some traditions
The Ole French Flattop.
Ask France.
What would France do?
France would protect the pedophile culture. Might want a different example.
Broken knees and burned out oligarch properties?
Shitposting on social media
First amendment goes, move on to the second?
Labor strikes, making the economy come to a grinding halt
That's why it is FREE speech, you need to get the PRO speech plan, it's only 19.99 a month and you get all the FREE speech perks + one extra slur a month!
Please don't give them ideas.

What comes after the soap, ballot, and jury boxes?
Cake?
Eastern Washington Is basically Idaho
I'm trying, boss.
What does that mean? I associate Idaho with bad potatoes, but I think I lack the rest of the context.
Idaho is deep in right wing militia wack job territory. Remember Ruby Ridge? Idaho.
"Right-wing militia whack job"s who for the most part are Christian Fascists as well. For example, https://antiauthoritarianplaybook.substack.com/p/the-christ-church-movement-in-moscow
No idea about Ruby Ridge (will Google this later) also, no idea about anything else about Idaho other than bad potatoes.
It's isolated forest and mountains. There's along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.
Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it's police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.
idaho is the fore-front of white supremecist movements in america.
I think you don’t live in eastern Washington.
Fascism is really a thing in USA now!!
It already was ...
It always was.
But it was supposed to be declining as society improved.
But either society didn't improve because fascism and selfishness didn't decline, or else it's the other way around.
Because it seems to be getting shittier on both counts. But AFAIK it was never so much out in the open as it is now.
If we had a normal Supreme Court this should go there. But now…. ?
Most people think the Supreme Court will always act like the Warren Court when in reality, with the exception of those 20 or so years, it's been nothing but reactionary and conservative at best. Dredd Scott anyone?
Okay... So from what I read, they sat in front of the bus to keep people from being shipped to a detention center. A fairly peaceful action.
So if that's no longer allowed, guess then you might as well storm the bus, kill all the ICE and then drive it to Canada or Mexico.
I'll sharpen the blades.
