the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

That sounds a lot like a rapist threatening his victim to "just be quiet and take it".

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

That’s some Emperor Palpatine shit

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 years ago

It's especially obvious in that the sentence could have just stopped at "will remain bloodless". We'll win through ideas and voting and law is enough of a statement. If someone else introduces violence then it's of course not bloodless. "My political movement will be bloodless unless someone commits violence against us" isn't a thing you need to say. The threat to violence is only meaningful if the right is initiating violence.

He does have rape-face.

But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

When they're saying this about Joe Biden and mainstream pro-corporate media like MSNBC...

It's really hard to take people seriously when they say AOC is too extreme to be president.

They'll always say moderate Dems are far left radicals, they can't say it anymore about AOC. The main difference is moderates try to argue that they're actually conservative which pisses off Dem voters. And progressives like AOC use it as an opportunity to talk about why the policy works, which grows the Dem voters base.

We can't keep meeting them halfway.

We need to 100% fight fascism, and we need to keep fighting. Because the fascists never stop.

I’m guessing you don’t live in a city. My opinions are to the left of most of my Democratic friends. The amount of times I’ve defended Biden’s tuition reimbursement against “I had to pay, so why don’t they?” claims is bonkers. Yes, you paid against a subsidized or 2% fixed-rate simple interest loan, not a predatory 5%+ variable-rate compound…

She'll be 35 by November.

which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be

Uh huh. 🙄

[-] seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM@feddit.de 66 points 2 years ago

Just like the invasion of Ukraine would have remained bloodless if Ukraine allowed it to be... i.e. victim blaming.

They're using the same language as rapists, thieves, murderers, and cops.

If I hurt or kill you because you chose not to comply, its your fault, not mine. You forced my hand. You could have just let me have my way, but no, you had to resist.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

And the left will allow it to be. Liberals will meekly go onto the trains while screaming about the hypocrisy and injustice. And meanwhile, the trains will run.

Wonder why minorities, LGBT and women are the largest gun purchasing demographic, and have been for a few years? You suburban white boys better pull your head out your ass and learn.

[-] Veraxus@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

Georgian heritage. The redcoats are back in force and need to be driven out again.

~~Just so I’m clear, are you referring to the red hat as in one of the 6 thinking hats? The one about using emotion and intuition?~~

Edit: 🤦‍♂️

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

He’s almost certainly referring to the red hats commonly worn by American fascists to signify their allegiance to the traitor

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

~~Oh ok. I tried searching it, but you can thank modern day SEO for only showing me shit from Red Hat, Inc (the Linux vendor).~~

Edit: Ok, I’m super stupid. MAGA red hats. 🤦‍♂️ I need a drink.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Haha happens to us all

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

"I see a red hat... I'll kill the man wearing it!"

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yankees fans, smh

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 24 points 2 years ago

And the most damning thing again will be: Trump will have control over the nuclear football again.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Maybe he thinks it looks like an actual football. Someone just hands one to him and says, "Now don't you drop it."

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 23 points 2 years ago

Who would ever fall for that!?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You're kidding, right? At this point, that's almost the least of our worries.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yet he can’t own a firearm.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

He mispronounced Second Civil War.

[-] RandomGuy79@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's already blooded, it's just that the left has no teeth. It's all performative "who has it worse" olympics

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Can I file a police report and another with the FBI? He is threatening me and my family. Can't we all? I'm not looking for a "meh cops won't do nothing" response. Legally, can we do that?

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Funny how these orgs drive public discourse and narrative on both sides.

Then we sit here and argue over it.

[-] abacab@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

They have to keep us distracted while the rich bleed us dry

[-] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

And once we're dry, they'll find someone else to fleece. Most likely when we ourselves can't afford the stuff they're forcing us to make. At that point the US will fully shift to an export economy based on slave labor that ships goods and products to nations with growing middle classes that can afford them, like China.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 2 years ago

Ehh they are just more likely to replace us with population that is more willing to "work"

Current "indigenous" Americans appear to forget what the federal government did to the old ones

[-] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Why do that when they can just declare us all in violation of some obscure law and make prisoners of us all? The 13th Amendment has a loophole that allows slavery as a punishment for a crime.

[-] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 2 years ago

They are already doing with people who "opt out" aka the homeless...

Crime too low, prisons need a pipeline

[-] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Just let the fascists take over and we won't kill you during the revolution
