        To be fair, Trump is not the source of the problem. He’s a Heritage Foundation puppet, and those psychos kind of have people everywhere right now.

              He’s a patsy, I’m grateful that at least it isn’t Vance. Could you imagine a tyrant funded by Billionaires that wasn’t in cognitive decline?

            The will and the resources have been there trying to move in this direction for a long time. I do agree that he’s absolutely fast tracked the process. His complete disregard for civility, shameless willingness to grift, and transparently transactional nature have enabled the absolute worst in us. From hateful, racist poor folks to deranged religious nutjobs to narcissistic billionaires - they’ve all been given the green light now.

            I just hope that everyone takes note of which side people are on and, when this is all over, make sure that the memory of those who stood on the wrong side of history are so shamed, ostracized, disgraced, and hated that this shit doesn’t happen again.

        Apart from that, they can storm the capitol and stay there until he resigns.
        But since this won’t happen any time soon, we have to see millions more posts about trump.

        The ones that would be classified as gun nuts are the same ones that are fine with what he’s doing. Except when the leopard goes after them.

          Oh for sure, I completely understand that. But that’s just because they don’t have the spine to actually bite their bark—theory-wise though, it’s a pretty sound plan to end tyranny and people with more backbone could freely follow it.

        Their banging on was always more about racism. Their definition of tyrannical government is “government with gays, trans, women, and brown people in charge.”

      We already know and various users from other countries have very explicitly told us. We’re just waiting for more answers palatable to us because most of us aren’t willing to risk anything.

        I assume you mean having the citizens rise up and overthrow the government? Problem is, if you try to do that in your own, you’ll get arrested/killed without really stopping anything, and if you try to organize with people online, you’re really likely to be get arrested before you can pull it off. So I think it’s not quite as easy as “we know how to fix it we’re just lazy and scared”

        For the people downvoting you.

        On a regular basis, when Italian partisans killed Germans or blew up bridges, Mussolini ordered 10 or so from their village killed. Pregnant women, children, didn’t matter.

        After an attack on an empty german car (no german casualties), 15 partisans were executed on a square, their corpses left to rot for the rest of the day under the sun. That is the square they transported Mussolinis corpse to, together with the corpses of his lover and fifteen other fascists.

        The square is now known the fifteen martyrs square after the dead partisans. Although many in Italy now probably call it so for the dead fascists.

        Person who ordered the killing later worked for the CIA and the german version of the FBI.

        Oh this must’ve been before they strung his carcass up upside down

        You know it’s in a fancy mausoleum these days? Under guard?

        It would be justice if that cursed shit hole were leveled to the fucking ground and then the soil burned and poisoned.

        solving the whole issue

        Trump’s inevitable death won’t solve the issues that caused him. I don’t know what will. We’d have to go pretty far down the chain of succession to hit “not a fascist”.

          You would have to ban podcasting, youtube, blogs, and fox news.

          I was at a hardware store today and behind the employees at counter was a TV that blares fox 24/7.

          I couldn’t take it for 2 minutes

            Yeah, I was just on a flight and saw a dude across the aisle that was mainlining all the worst people on twitter. Space laser lady, the racist cat, the nazi automaker…this dude was just liking everything and replying frantically. He was flipping through everything and replying so quickly that I felt pity as much a loathing. It was absolutely pathetic. Dude’s brain is melted.

              I left x which sucks because blue sky doesn’t have the sports reporters I follow or not nearly the amount of other interests.

              Who’s the space laser lady besides MTG?

          Well, go down that chain, then. Haven’t they been going on for generations about how their second amendment is for exactly this situation?

          Solving the underlying issues are important too, of course, but that’s a long term solution. I’d like to see a short-term patch be applied before America literally launches wars of conquest against its neighbours.

        I hear what you’re saying, but Little t is a symptom, just like Hitler was a symptom.

        It’s like “Goddamn it, I wish my stomach didn’t hurt all the time.” Doctor: “You have pancreatric cancer.”
