That is the most batshit thing I've read this month. These people are going full mask off, and saying, "you know, fuck this democracy thing"; it's horrifying.

God damn I wish we could take the GOP down once and for all... It actually blows my mind that they get any votes at all.
I was already sick of these fucking fascist assholes before they decided to fully and brazenly embrace autocracy.

They get pretty few actual votes. They can only win elections through voter suppression and by maintaining the blatantly undemocratic US election system. In any democratic system they would have been wiped out decades ago.

@HarkMahlberg This activity has been going on for more than a year. Trumpists have been recruiting and pencilling in candidates for every non-civil service position there is

Liberals AND leftists need to seriously get over their fear of guns and stop supporting legislation to restrict them, even start voting to remove restrictions. Otherwise one side is more armed and ready for violence than the other side.

I think you'll find that leftists in general are pro 2nd amendment. Liberals on the other hand, not as much.

LGBT+ communities, ethnic minorities, leftists, and other marginalized communities should start banding together to form self-defence groups and mutual aid groups to support to each other.
