This is the kind of pedantry I post on the internet for. Thanks.

These guys are the progeny of those who have been itching for a civil war since The New Deal. The Business Plot failed because Smedley Butler refused to play along. Then The John Birch Society failed after gaining some ground. Nixon courted Dixie racists with The Southern Strategy. Then Reagan came along and got Evangelicals and saw the rise of union busting. Prosperity Gospel messaging replaced loving thy neighbor. Then Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh ruled the 90s. Then Obama got elected and people’s brains broke and then shit ratcheted up even more. The right wing realized over the years that the only way they will stay in power is if they appeal to people’s worst impulses. They proliferate hate and fear. They are aesthetic with no substance creating a feedback loop to be exploited.

It’s ok because it will never happen to me! Huh? These politicians have zero policy agenda and thrive on having an other to rally against? They’ll go after me for the pettiest of things like living while poor to fill their private prison quotas once all the gross gays and browns are reduced to cinder? Nah. This is America. It can’t happen here!

Kristi Noem sees a Mexican woman with a Jewish sounding name serving the highest office in her country and hurts herself in a double whammy of racist indignation. I wouldn’t trust Kristi with a tomato plant. She would shoot it for not growing fast enough.

Oh good. It’s not like Hurricane season doesn’t happen every year or anything.

“Difficult” prospect? This administration has wanted to kill Americans for years. They finally have a drunk, stuffed shirt who will have no qualms satisfying his Daddy once given the order to do so. The days of Mattis and Esper are over.

“The whole thing’s been taken out of context” says the man who said he’d arrest the governor and mayor of CA. It’s always “you took us out of context” with these assholes. It’s eye roll inducing when people like this use “context” as a shield when it’s obvious that words mean absolutely nothing to these wannabe fascists.

They’ve wanted to shoot Americans they don’t like for years. Trump wanted to do it in 2020, but Esper said no. Pete will swig from a handle of Jack, scream Deus Vult, and grab a gun himself. He won’t fire it, but he’ll post a selfie on Twitter like he’s going to. Regardless of how peaceful things may be expect them to do it anyway. They need their photo op. It’s all they have.

I didn’t say start blasting. Right wingers show up strapped all the time showing they mean business and are given plenty of space as a consequence. The cops can do the same for other Americans. If they can’t then it shows the public that it was never about individual rights and all about allowing one group they favor to get away with it.

I think it’s about time the press and protesters start showing up strapped. These people clearly don’t have any fear and are just power tripping on people for simply being there. Put the fear of God back into these pigs.

Let’s give the reins to the guy with no medical degree who did unethical experiments on autistic kids! Doctors shouldn’t be experts! That’s elitism!

It should be completely legal to shoot cops

I like this better
