Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the party of law and order.
Favourite part of the whole article:
A spokesperson for Truth Social said, “It’s hard to believe that Reuters, once a respected news service, has fallen so low as to publish such a manipulative, false, defamatory and transparently stupid article as this one purely out of political spite.”
“You never saw what you thought you saw. And even if you did, it was entirely justified and your interpretation was extreme.”
These morons want a king. Can’t even reflect for 5 seconds and think the guilty verdict is because he committed a crime.
Redcoats, all of them.
Nah, they’re Confederates. This is the South trying to rise again, as they always said they would. They cannot be allowed to.
The South must rise anew.
The Confederates didn’t want to appoint a king.
They’re not just in the South anymore either. They probably wouldn’t admit they want a king, even though you’re right. But it’s the same movement regardless. They are the children of the Confederacy, attempting to bring it back.
They are absolutely delusional. I went to the cesspool that is /r/conservative, hoping, PRAYING for people to respond like normal human beings on reading news like that.
Nope.
None of this.
Complete delusion, with select quotes:
“He still has my vote”
“Liars! Liars on the witness stand. This poor man does not deserve this”
Americans are a different breed altogether.
24/7 propaganda cycle pushed on all the media conservatives consume
At what point do we consider Trump voters as terrorists? Waiting until they actually kill people or destroy everything doesn’t sound like a good idea.
Please do it, you stupid fucks. I want to watch as you and your gravy seals get annihilated. Get humbled. Fucking do it.
Funny how they’re calling for riots instead of going to the streets and rioting.
I wonder if they remember what happened to them the last time they tried that shit 🤔.Pepperidge farm remembers. The crowd that was all about “back(ing) the blue” managed to kill a police officer and four of themselves.
Give them a break
Are you really expecting all the people posting this stuff to pay for the flight from Russia?
?
These are likely the same ones that pushed 1/6 and spent a lot of time telling people to do it.
The reason they’re still doing that, is they weren’t the ones to actually show up.
They’re not gonna stop doing it, because they didn’t get any consequences from last time.
All they gotta do is keep making these posts saying someone should do something. And chances are some idiots will do it.
Like, remember that main old guy from American History X?
He got naive kids to do the dirty work, so he was able to spend decades doing it without any consequences.
For real life example, just look at Alex Jones. How long it took for him to even go to court, and how he’s still not in jail or paying any judgements.
But he’s still running his mouth and telling others to do the work.
So terrorists.
So the people who screamed about the scary, scary BLM protesters rioting due to what they (rightly) viewed as a miscarriage of justice now think rioting should happen because of what they (wrongly) view as a miscarriage of justice.
As usual, it’s okay with they do it.
Everything. Is. A. Projection.
They took their stupid shot on Jan 6th and then they realized they were mostly larpers. Projection to the point of action.
Jan 6th protestors didn’t even come armed… lol smh
It was just a prank bro
For some, it wasn’t without trying
Jan 6th protestors didn’t even come armed
Actually
somemany were armed.

The thing I think is the most irreconcilable, incompromisable, consistently demonstrated behavior of The Right in America is the blatant hypocrisy about nearly all of their planks. It’s the thing that, when the next civil war comes, will allow me to pull the trigger on anyone wearing a red baseball cap with little remorse.
- Everyone needs guns to defend themselves from The State, because 2A! (Except for black people defending themselves from no-knock entry cops who got the address wrong)
- The government shouldn’t be allowed to tell us how to live! (Except for LGBTQ* people, women’s choices about their own bodies, or homeless people)
- The Constitution is sacrosanct! (Except for the part about separation of church and state, we just ignore that part)
It’s the same for their every. Single. Position. It makes me weary, and furious, depressed and pessimistic.
I wish I could after on the guns things but I should not own a gun! I have a history of depression and I super don’t want to have easy access.
That said, put a gun in my hands and I’ll do my part to end fascism. I’m even a fairly decent shot for having only fired a gun 3 different times. Just please take the thing away from me when I rotate out.
Better yet, get me an fpv headset.
When I joined the militia I had promised myself to kill one Fascist – after all, if each of us killed one they would soon be extinct… -George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia
I’m not advocating anyone buy a gun, mind you. My general opinion on guns is the same about cars: the only person I truly trust to operate one is me; the rest of all y’all are just generally unreliable.
That said: get a long gun. Any non-Bulpup rifle with a 20” or longer barrel - it’s really hard to commit suicide with a long rifle. You can find a way, sure, but there are far easier, more reliable ways to off yourself than trying to figure out how to pull a trigger you can’t reach when the bangy end is pointed at your head. And the knowledge that most people who try doing this end up still alive but permanently mangled and with reduced faculties may drive you to seek those alternative methods.
Another plus for a rifle is that it’s simply a better weapon for killing fascists. We have a lot of evidence that handguns are almost never used in armed conflicts. They’re far less powerful than rifles (in general), and their effective ranges are drastically shorter. Get a cheap optic, do some practice shooting, and you’ll be better armed and prepared than any open-carry idiot running around armed only with their trusty Colt M1911 with official Trump pistol grips.
I really wish that last part was a joke.
I don’t mean to come across as minimizing mental health issues. I also can’t prevent you from trying to off yourself. All that said, I hope you are able to get help, and get healthy.
Hey thanks, this is an idea that I hadn’t thought much about and I’ll have to consider it. I also need consider storage and how to get to a range without a car but those things are workable.
As for my mental health, I’m doing well and feel in a good place all around. I got married a year and a half ago and have a stable life. I’m doing good. This will have to be a process if I’m going to buy a rifle but your arguments have opened me to the idea.
Glad to hear you’re in a more stable place! I know it’s a constant struggle; rarely do people just “get better” and never gave issues again, but I’m glad that you’re on top of it.
Open carry is legal almost everywhere in the US. You could literally put a sling on it, strap it on your back, and ride your bike to the range. If you shoot a common caliber, you can buy ammo when you get there (assuming it’s a range in or near a store). You’d need to check your local laws about what you need to do to open carry a gun and ammunition; like, can you have it in a protective case?
Anyway, good luck with your journey.
“But this time the guy was
whiterichRepublicaninnocent!”And if they make that argument, I’ll tell them that means they believe people are “guilty until proven innocent” and don’t deserve a trial by a jury of their peers, which is as unAmerican an idea as you can get.
Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.
Trust me, I am in Indiana. I’m surrounded by these flag-waving morons. You call them unAmerican and they lose their shit. And all I have to do is pull up the Bill of Rights.
Either PBS or NPR had a thing a few years back where they’d read sections of the Bill of Right on air, as part of Independence Day celebrations.
The right wing folks who heard it thought it was communist propaganda.
Do they not still do that? I’ve had to listen to a lot less NPR since my daughter decided I’m not allowed to listen to the radio in the car.
, and then nothing happened because they’re all a bunch of piss babies.
There’s a bizarre basic lack of basic human decency right there.
Then again, lack of empathy and poor judgment are requirements for Republikans.
They should try storming the capital!
Liberals are going to have to get used to the idea of owning guns. I know plenty do, but still this can get ugly. Or they will just get arrested or shot in the face like that one chick.
Trump is planning on speaking today at 11 am Eastern at Trump Tower.
Let’s hope he violates his gag order and gets to sit in jail until punishment phase.
He already has. Just had a mini-rally in New York and ranted about the judge.
…thus showing that the “Law and Order” party was never about law, they just want a particular kind of order- that is, a hierarchy wherein people below them on the status-ladder know not to try to hold them accountable to anything, including the law or even plain decency.
To them, the law is the cudgel to keep the poors and plebes in their place- low in the order- never to be applied to them.
That’s Republicanism and that left the US Republican Party years ago.
Now it’s all about Conservatism through any means. And it’s not even pure Conservatism: it’s heavily tainted with Tribalism.
Conservativism is, by its nature, tribal. The two can’t be separated.
