Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And here's news: if you are appalled by this and you are NOT buying a gun and learning how to use it then you are an absolute fucking idiot. If you come on here and start pissing and moaning about "ammosexuals" and "2A fantasies" and whatnot then you are a fucking idiot. NONE of those assholes care about your rights or your feefees or about "the law" or voting; they hate you and want to kill you and they are desperately waiting for someone to give them the word. If you are NOT ARMING UP FOR PROTECTION then you will get the boxcar you deserve.
do you run a local militia? How many armored vehicles do you have there?
also, BOXCAR? ARE YOU COMPARING THIS TO THE FUCKING NAZIS? BRO THIS IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
You really, really, REALLY do not understand any of this. It has nothing at all to do with militias. It will be your neighbors committing violence against your other neighbors with the state's blessing. And yes I am absolutely comparing them to the Nazis as any reasonable, rational, sensible person should do if they dont want to wind up in the aformentioned boxcar.
that's a really weird way to say "the government is going to take your rights"
Any reasonable person would compare the US with the fucking naizs? What am i reading bro? Are we referring to republicans as nazis here? Because i'm more inclined to believe you, but i still wouldn't go that far.
What is a little pew pew gun going to do against organized terror with the government's blessing?
And that kind of thinking is exactly why you will be boxcar'd IT IS NOT A BATTLE ON A
FIELD
Always been a gun owner, they would have done nothing for me in any of my arrests except get me killed or get police officers killed and place me in prison for likely life..
You won't be able to shoot police officers when they come to arrest you and walk free. An actual militia will not happen again in the u.s.
Again, you're focusing on "the authorities". You're going to need them against civilians. But this just reinforces my point: you dont know who you're dealing with.
Mate, you might need to take some time off the Internet for awhile. I hope everything goes well for you and all is good.
Lol I agree with you, but there's other posts in here that will get you better traction than this one. I recently saw one about a lawmaker proposing a national registry of pregnant people. That one would have an audience more amendable to the point that they really do want to dominate and exterminate their enemies.
Though effective opposition requires organization, armed or not. The organizations that would be used for armed resistance when necessary are only marginally different from the organizations fighting for positive change within the system right now.
The thing is that its all incremental. Liberals here should understand how incrementalism works because they propose it all the fucking time. Commandments in schools is the basis for pregnancy registrations and then killing or imprisoning gays and then government-sanctioned white supremacy etc etc. There are not enough reasonable people to stop this. There is no situation in which the creep to fascism ended without lots of violence. I'll be fine; I'm white and in a very tolerant area....but I come from the places where the fascists are breeding and mark my words: liberals absolutely DO NOT UNDERSTAND who they're dealing with. Most of the murders of "undesirables" won't even make the local news, and certainly won't be investigated or prosecuted.
Oh trust me, I understand how fascism and these sorts of things works. The vast majority of people will be surprised if the US experiences some kind of genocide or civil war. But that's just it, the average person has a hard time seeing it coming, so you can't raise the alarm on things that seem innocuous. They'll think you're crazy. You have to point at the really fucked up stuff happening right now so they can imagine what would happen if those people got their way.
In any case, we still have time to change course, and this post would be a good one for getting people politically organized and fighting that way, since they have a hard time understanding how this sort of thing leads to violence.
They hated him because he spoke the truth
