Fascist tells you to ignore your eyes and ears and to listen to the party

It's like the bully grabbing your arm and makes you hit yourself in the face while simultaneously saying stop hitting yourself!

In case anyone needs a recap:

Presidential candidate calling for people to second amendment their politics into reality for almost a decade. Someone took them up on that suggestion.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who once told former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson she wished he would put a federal cabinet minister in his "crosshairs" — called on "progressive" politicians to temper their language Monday after former U.S. president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Someone should do a montage with that clip and then put the clip where he gets shot in the ear and then play the curb your enthusiasm theme.

Mike Tyson once said

Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.

I think it's a good reminder to people voicing disrespectful opinions that they might one day receive retribution for it.

No. Fascists are not owed my sympathies.

I really prejudge Mr Tyson whenever he's speaking into a mic, but when he's not reaching for the 10c words he's actually very insightful.

If anyone was wondering Danielle was essentially copying pasting a milder version of what Marjorie Taylor Greene said.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-donald-trump-shooting-b2580000.html

The Georgia Republican congresswoman baselessly alleged there’s a conspiracy afoot, insisting “Democrats wanted this to happen” and have “wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.”

After attacking Democrats for repeatedly calling Trump a threat to democracy, she soon blasted the party with more extreme rhetoric, calling the country’s polarized politics a “battle.”

“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” she wrote on X on Sunday.

“The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.

I love how half of the US tries to ban rifles, and when one side's violent, insane rhetoric nearly gets one of their own candidates gunned down with the exact rifle, they tell the other side to calm down, lmao.

Your candidate is unmoored from reality, and he's going to get domed by one of your own incels sooner rather than later. Work with us on gun safety already. Among like...everything else.

Yeah, dial down the rhetoric! We only want to get rid of all undesirables, dismantle all social systems, dismantle democracy, remove taxes for the rich and put all tax burdens on the poor, install a theocracy, jail our opponents and remove all climate protections.

And then you have the gall, THE GALL, I TELL YOU, to call us bad? STOP THE RHETORIC!
