"And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be," he said.

It's as true now as it was when Markos Moulitas wrote it in 2008: IOKIYAR

The terrifying thing is that a sizable portion of this country reads this list and thinks it sounds like a great idea.

[–] FlyingSquid 48 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Some of it. I don't know that even a sizable portion of this country wants to raise prescription drug prices. I also think a very small percentage wants to get rid of no fault divorce or contraception. Even most Catholics are fine with contraception. And use it too.

Raising the retirement age? I'd guess that their sizable voting bloc in their 60s wouldn't be good with that.

Honestly, I think the more people learn about this, the more they will find things they don't like about it. Even Republicans.

[–] billiam0202 44 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even Republicans

Yeah, but they mean all that for other people, not me!

...hey, what's that leopard staring at me for?

I'm surprised this graphic doesn't mention banning porn and jailing those who produce and distribute it (page 5). Even for non-porn consumers, when you remember that they're trying to lump non-explicit LGBT media in as porn (for example), that becomes a pretty dangerous stance.

Glad Project 2025 is becoming public knowledge, it's not hyperbole, people really are going to die if Trump is re-elected. That's not a threat, that's an acknowledgement of what the GOP plans to do.

There have already been several shootings by people trying to trigger a "race war".

Do you all remember how quickly they backed down as soon as ashley babbit was shot? (yes I know I spelled it wrong, I don't care to honor that piece of trash). A whole crowd of these fuckers. and presumably the most rabid of them, their infantry if you will. These are the cultists who spent money, time, and energy to be there. So they are also the ones with means. Also, presumably a bunch of them were carrying concealed weapons. Then one person gets shot and the entire thing crumbles. Cowards. Through and through cowards. And they think they can win a war?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

The reaction of everyone when the shot is fired was absolutely telling. The coward that was right next to her turns and ran. Didn't even help her or charge an attack with the absolutely massive numbers they had. They were there, at the heart of it all and they turned around and ran because the violence became real and was directed at them.

I like the way I once saw it summarized for a non-American person asking about J6:

Supporters of the fascist ex-President form angry mob threatening to kill politicians; they end up killing four police officers and one of themselves then run away.

They forget how many of us gun owning liberals there are. They think they can bully everyone around because they think they own all the guns thus the upper hand. They're are far too dense to realize they're entirely wrong. We just don't make it our entire personality. I don't feel the need to put my guns on display to prove to people I don't even know what a MaNlY rUgGeD BaDaSs I am. That's not why i own them. I very much enjoy the sport and technical knowledge and focus required to hit the target in different situations. I want to be perceived as a loving husband and a kind and honorable man and friend. Those two things are at odds. Or maybe I'm just not insecure about my masculinity.

I have been staunchly anti-gun personally, but it feels like it's time to arm myself. The threats are becoming credible.

[–] frog_brawler 19 points 4 months ago

I was anti-gun up until about 3 years ago, but I’ve been training semi-regularly since they began making these types of threats. I also have good reason to believe they’re more than just threats, but actual plans. I would encourage you to start getting familiar with firearms and train sooner than later. A lot of people have a misconception that you can just pick one up, aim, and fire but there’s significantly more to it than that.

[–] Jumpingspiderman 17 points 4 months ago

Don't just "arm yourself". Learn how to safely handle and use it and practice practice practice. Somewhere there is a Fascist that wants to kill you and they are practicing. So practice yourself.

The best part of that line is that everyone left of fascism reads it as a direct threat - bow to our will or there will be blood, while the right can claim it's just them worrying about the left turning violent.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They just want to murder their way to a just and harmonious society. How can we achieve a just and harmonious society without consequence free political violence?

lol. They want folks to step aside so they can seize power and then use that power to subjugate the people they’re threatening violence against. But, you know, later it’ll be institutional violence.

Those fuckers deserve a drink. A Molotov Cocktail.
Heh. “On the house!”

Bring it. I’m ready. You snowflakes don’t have the faith, conviction or cojones to follow through with your threats, which is why you make so many of them, and why they get more and more violent as you see them be less and less effective. Calling your bluff, but I’ll be ready to slap you right back into the hole you crawled out of.

I know it's meant to be a threat, but he really makes it sound like he's at our mercy. It will only be bloodless if WE allow it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The important part is to go after him and other people in leadership. They was us to fight the local maga crowd, not them. Fighting the local maga crowd gets us nowhere.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My local maga crowd is harassing a local teacher for having rainbows in the classroom. I'll keep fighting both.

I mean they promise violence if they get their shit through so the only option is to challenge them.

Who isn't expecting violence in November?

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 4 months ago (9 children)

This would be violence after January. 2025 refers to the year.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Horrible events like January 6, or 9/11, each get a name.

I wonder what Monday's SCOTUS ruling will end up being called.

Bc that seems to me to have been the turning point - not the beginning, obviously (you could point much further back to e.g. Citizens United) but when it really allowed/encouraged things to ratchet up.

More people should know what's in Project 2025. It's a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.

They're not even trying to hide it.

There's a reason that even Trump is distancing himself from this shitshow. These people are insane.

Lots of talk in this thread. I stood during the pandemic against anti-vaccs and no-masks and intend to again. I've heard a lot of excuses, mostly surrounding a need to work and pay bills and how they cannot jeopardize that.

I wonder if there will be excuses this time.

Projection, projection, projection.

Anyway, right back at ya, chief.
