Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
i knew this was coming eventually.
if they can pull it off they'll keep expanding it until only their own loyalists can own guns
Boy they love to shout from the rooftops about how Mao and Stalin took the guns, but this, this doesn't count because trans people are subhuman to them. Fucking pigs.
They were announcing intent
After they consolidate power, their own supporters will be disarmed as well. They only protect their supporters now because they need them, once they get to absolute power they will not need 99% of their supporters. And drones will take over a large share of state oppression duties.
the Yarvinist techno-fascist wing definitely. the christian nationalist wing will allow their supporters to remain armed but only as an organized militia/brownshirt reserve.
which is why the Yarvinist techno-fascists may eventually pivot to supporting the dems since they already have their networks cultivated through the silicon valley "left". they will push for heavy gun restrictions while speedrunning autonomous drones in the hope they can neuter the christian nationalists or at least bait them into lone wolf attacks and standoffs (depleting their capabilities and unmasking their most violent footsoldiers).
these two right wing factions know they are going to have to face each other in a full scale civil war eventually. one has sheer numbers and firepower, the other "AI and drones (eventually)" as well as increasingly larger shares of the MIC
they may agree to carve up the nation but the peace will not last
I have been puzzling about that as well, the religious rights and The business factions will have to fight. I cannot say who would win, I would think the business, which includes those techno fascists, but not necessarily, one will be subordinated.
I also gotta figure that since the business faction is more dependent on money to keep operating, and years of lead are bad for business, a protracted struggle would favor the fundamentalists. They also depend on money, but have had a generational head start indoctrinating violent true believers who are ready to go whenever.
