I'll remember biden not executing 6 justices and letting us slide into fascism all so he can keep his optics of being the candidate that knows right from wrong. Fuck all that, biden should use his powers granted by the Supreme Court to right the ship, because when he loses this election Trump is gonna execute a lot more people and expand his power so now isn't the time for him to be a pussy old man and use the remaining life his has to fuck shit up to stop fascism

If Biden executes six supreme justices, he's the fascist.

Fascism is already here. It officially arrived last week in a little box labeled "Pandora" and now it's just a question of who will open it.

Historically, violence is the only way to stop fascism. But if you want to play the fascists game of just going over the lines so you don't respond with violence, don't be surprised when they win. If you cant see the difference between violence to fight fascism and violence that is fascism then you're a kind of 'both sides' person I don't think has what it takes to stop fascists.

I'm not saying it's not necessary. It is.

Modern Dems don't shoot first. Something extreme has to happen but executing sitting justices is probably plan C or D. They are no doubt going to try to win and be right (as far as playing by the old rules will allow) first, and if they even try to toe the line of the dark side, it will be a Hail Mary at the last minute. Likely in the buyers remorse/lame duck period.

Edit: Dems see it as the nuclear option that it is. Republicans see it as a bubble-hearth with no cooldown.
