So now they're being very open about it, Good. Document this so that they can't get away with it

We cannot let the Republican party stand after the dusts settles. It is tainted, planted over the bones of white supremacy and watered with hate.

Force them to set down new grassroots by banning every Republican politician from office that manages to escape prison.

today on sesame street: gang wars edition, we're going to learn about power vacuums!

if you have a large population that supports a particular group or person and get rid of that group or person, a vacuum will form that sucks all that support with new hostility into a new group or person, usually they are worse than the original.

the best way to combat this is to replace existing leadership with leaders who are sympathetic to your goals and will lead the vacant minded masses to the agreed upon goal.

the US has done this hundreds of times in history with great success.

That's what neocons were until the Tea Party purged them.

The problem is that the Democrat leadership wants the old GOP back so they can get back to ending history. We can't tolerate either party in their present forms.

The power vacuum exists when the power is left sitting at the table. Presumably, in my utopic wish to disenfranchise fascists, we'd fix the guiderails that let us fly off into this canyon but I didn't get into that in the midst of my angry diatribe.

That's a literal death threat. Fuck that guy. Maybe he'd like to experience the same next time he votes against a Democrat? Or maybe, we just don't do political assassinations.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

Nah, this type of cretin deserves only what they salivate over dolling on others. He deserves it. Completely. Literal psychopath throwing threats.

~~No it isn't. See the tweet in context.~~ https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19206531

Edit: Hmmm that tweet is dodgy AF. It really is a death threat which is disguised as Dems killing their own. Doesn't reveal that the killer was a Republican.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure another peaceful protest will defeat this guy.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shut the hell up.

There's hundreds of thousands of lawyers, judges, and human rights activists fighting for your rights while you spout braindead cynicism.

There's millions of people out there boycotting, unionizing, organizing, and sabotaging fascist corporations while you sit on your fat ass and complain about nothing being done.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

while you sit on your fat ass and complain about nothing being done.

Don't mean to nitpick here, but nowhere in the statement above was there any indication of inaction. For all we know they are slashing ice tyres daily.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look at their comment history. I highly doubt it.

Meanwhile, I spent 30 hours in court this past weekend providing free interpretation services for migrant families that were able to successfully defend their rights thanks to dozens of volunteers and lawyers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, that clears things up. No need to look up someones comment history (a bit weird that).

Good thing good deeds makes you superior and above reproach after all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

Maybe don't engage with or support disinformation bots?

Try starting there.

I'm going to paste in part of my comment on another thread:

Something important to know about the two people who were shot: until her death, Melissa Hortman was a member of the Minnesota State House of Representatives; and John Hoffman is a member of the Minnesota State Senate. Both were Democrats.

And up until they were shot, the Minnesota House had 134 Members: 66 Republicans vs 67 Democrats (with one seat empty to be filled later). And the Minnesota Senate had 67 members: 33 Republicans and 34 Democrats. If the assassinations had both been successful, both chambers would have been tied. As it is, they're only saying that Hoffman is "stable", but there are no further details.

Luckily, in this case, nothing fascist is gonna get passed through the Governor's veto. It's just a momentary delay in passing laws until a replacement can be elected in the next special election.

why would I care what a failed podcaster thinks?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Because he is a fascist with an audience. Little Goebels.

What needs to happen is some led flying over his head. Or bricks to his face. Windows. Molotov his house.

He wants violence? Serve it to him.

Cries wolf? Serve more violence.

Serve violence until he stops.

Why? Because this is what he salivates for for everyone else.

As a fellow Yuropean from eastern block.

DO NOT IGNORE MEDIA FASCITS

So this is actually him implying that Tim Walz ordered the assassination because Melissa Hortman voted against healthcare for undocumented migrants. Not the threat that it sounds like without context, but orders of magnitude more stupid. These people live in an entirely different reality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes he implies that with ambiguous language as a way of weaseling out of the legality of threatening violence.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

And also tries to use an (AI-generated?) prompt answer in an attempt to call dissenting commenters an ablist slur and prove that he definitely didn't make any threats of violence with his statement clearly implying that people who voted against his party of choice have their "li[ves] at stake".

Real fucking class act this fascist shitheel is.

The brownshirts are being activated. They’ll inspire more domestic terrorism, and they’ll stop facing any consequences. It’s a speedrun to fascism.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago (4 children)

After today's protests, they will be pressing the pedal harder. Do NOT give in! We fight back.

It is called stochastic terrorism and this shitbag should be locked up

I'm no lawyer, but I feel like this statement is really toeing the first amendment line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seditious_libel#Seditious_speech_in_the_United_States

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

As Dennis would say

They are referencing two murders and two attempted already and stating there will be more, this is far beyond that line

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

To be fair… I wouldn’t really shed a tear if some of them became messages to other republicans… so I guess that’s where the country stands right now.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The feeling is becoming mutual. If the GOP keeps it up, reprisals will happen.

we protest peacefully

they murder us

i am not hopeful.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Peaceful protests work. Plenty of people protesting today cited that their main motivation was violence against peaceful protesters. People do not like that, and this injustice tends to form a greater coalition.

Uh?????? What the actual fuck??? I guess throw it on the pile

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Okay, look at his tweet. He reposted a video of Hortmann talking after voting to repeal health care for "illegal" immigrants.

He then makes a connection to the shooter, who has been employed by Tim Walz. He is saying that Democrats killed Hortmann for not voting in line with "their beliefs".
