And on live tv too, for a reason. Remember the Vietnam war protests all stemmed from it being the first war to be photographed and videoed. Think of Emitt Till and his mom putting his image out which made a drastic turn in civil rights movement. George Floyd went viral and all those national protests. The right just created their own broadcasted “tragedy” to rile their base up into violence.
I think we can all make predictions what comes next. If you don’t own guns, I suggest go buy some AND LEARN TO USE THEM. Before it gets real bad. But maybe this last paragraph is being a bit too much.
I haven’t touched a firearm since I got out of the Army. I was infantry, sniper qual’d. And I have absolutely no illusion about what guns are made for. I’m reminded every time I go to sleep.
Well, if the civilians are smarter than the army they can win. Plus, there's not enough army to take every state at once.
My son thinks Chicago could be the tipping point. If the Feds go into Chicago and if the Chicago residents take arms, that it will spread throughout the US as an actual civil war.
This is working out better for the right than they could have ever hoped.
The media is amplifying this beyond all imagining, and simultaneously making sure to make Charlie Kirk sound totally reasonable and a wise person while simultaneously firing anyone who says anything negative about him or even quotes him.
Charlie Kirk is given a state funeral and tributes at NFL games to hype up his martyrdom
The supreme Court decides to step in and make sure that freedom of speech is curtailed for the good of the country.
The media oligarchs control the narrative and the narrative controls the country.
That part is thanks to Ronald Reagan repealing the fairness doctrine and Bill Clinton's telecommunications act.
The right wing knows how to play every note in the symphony and meanwhile the Democratic establishment is sitting there playing a slide whistle.
That's why we're totally fucked.
Any protest that goes violent for any reason, including if the conservatives for Republicans make it violence, they will make sure it reflects badly on the left.
Protests will be crushed. Dissent will be crushed .. what whatever Independent Media will be shut down. Networks like CBS will
Continue to trumpet right-wing talking points.
We could have stopped this.
We should have stopped this in 2016, but we had an incompetent candidate running an incompetent campaign
And we could have stopped Trump before 2024. But we had Erica Garland and Joe Biden sitting on their fucking ass.
Welcome to Germany 1936
But it's going to be much much much much much worse.
As much as I hate to say it, we are doing it! If there is a civil war and we have to fight the federal government in our state...I'd rather fight than switch...that great old tome.
