I remember when this would be the biggest news for weeks and end any other presidency, especially a Democratic president. Now, this will probably be the last I hear of it.

Say, random meta question but… Why is editing turned off for me? No response when I tried to contact a mod. Is this platform-wide or am I being punished for something lol.

I too have been watching for decades while also having the unfortunate displeasure of being on both sides of the ideological spectrum.

I too have the same concerns; but that doesn’t change the Game Theory.

Righties, accelerationists (who are so willing to sacrifice others for their cause or romanticizing the apocalypse) absolutely love to promote apathy and defeatism in stating that voting doesn’t matter.

If it doesn’t, then what you say will come true anyway; but until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, you still push people to vote. I heard similar talk during his first term. Trump left the White House once. We can make him do it again.

Whoa, let’s not make that assumption now until we’re proven otherwise. We have no choice but to promote, register, and assume the next elections will be mostly legitimate.

It’s far too risky to spread apathy right now. Game Theory dictates you promote voting, regardless.

Sinclair. Lmao

The megaphones of disinformation have drowned out any legitimate voice of The People.

Bystanders, be wary of people like this who try to egg OTHER people on to do things they themselves won’t or can’t for some likely bogus excuse or another.

Fuck fascists as much as the next person, but half the time I think people like this are fascist operatives hoping to provoke some new Reichstag incident.

Do confirm that you actually believe this is unsubstantiated:

Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that right-wing extremism makes up the majority of violence.

Now in fairness I’ll clarify that I am focusing on politically motivated violence.

Additionally, did you miss the past tense of the first point?

I’m referring more to the immediate aftermath of the event. I wasn’t very clear when I said writings but rather writings on the casings and the immediate reaction of Fuentes.

If that was his thinking, then he’s terrible at foreseeing the coming chess moves from the other side.

It was quite obvious the Trump administration was doing everything in their power to provoke something like this so they could then utilize it as their Reichstag Fire / October 7th incident to further strip civil liberties and consolidate power.

Best thing he could’ve done was just do a public protest about Epstein and rally people to vote for midterms. I fail to see how this made vulnerable group safer in any way in all reality.

That’s the sad part, it already isn’t. Many assholes on the right truly think they’re fighting a righteous war. Nay, a biblical crusade against evil. And they’re harming far more good people, both directly and indirectly.

All guardrails and checks & balances have since been broken to prevent this very thing from playing out but now it all just boils down to who can push a louder message to the masses and distort their perception of reality.

I’m pretty lost for answers on how to crawl our way out of this. My only hope is the economy tanks so hard that it hits the working class in their wallets. That’s pretty much the only thing they care about.

When a bunch of files got leaked from UK intelligence agencies some years back, one of the programs mentioned was one that could essentially frame targets with CP material.

I’m not sure this administration is competent enough to do that, but I’d bet money they got embarrassed and are using some bathtime pic one if his kids sent him of his grandkids.

Then came the forced confession.

My initial impression of his writings hit me as either Groyper posing as a leftist, or just an accelerationist psychopath.

Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that right-wing extremism makes up the majority of violence.

Pssst… You’re the only extremist here unwilling to recognize facts easily looked up in any encyclopedia. Please, grasp firmly and try — perhaps with a bit of lubricant — to pull head out of one’s ass. If not, then maybe you need to find some deeper right-wing radicalized echo-chamber of misinformation to make yourself feel more at home?

Our Republic is a Type-Of Democracy; a subset thereof. This is well known. Why do people quote conservative bullshit tropes like this?

Economy is going to contract especially come spring. These snowbirds most of the time were more kind than locals. People have no idea how much money they pump into local economies.

Hopefully this is advantageous to midterms but who knows.

But Harris was equally bad amirite.

I always did kind of feel that JDV and Charlie were competing for the same spot in the right-wing extremist pipeline.

It would’ve kind of amused me to see the two debate each other in a way. Like seeing an Andrew Tate vs Jake Paul boxing match: Either way, two fuckwits take blows.

In this case it’s like seeing two billionaires’ bio-bots compete, Koch vs. Thiel.

What should’ve undeniably and without a shadow of doubt happened to Trump following Jan 6th.

Frankly his gross negligence in handling the covid pandemic itself should’ve warranted criminal charges.

Oh shit that makes sense why he was telling his base to tone it down. PSA’s Tommy acted like this was such a nice thing to do, but reality is it was just CYA.
