    We can print all these articles. But until these people start getting their ass kicked every time they open their mouths they will continue to convert this country into a theocratic ethnostate. It is an extremist takeover and they are threatening violence way too freely.

      The slippery slope is like a gradual descent or gentle move to a lower place and it takes a while … the further you go, the faster you go down … eventually at one point, you’re traveling so fast down the slope that there is no more turning back and you have no choice but to fall off the edge.

        That’s basically what happened in WW2. We’ve done what needed to be done then and we’ll do it now too.

        I was hoping this time around we didn’t need to go all the way to a world war, but if the servatives insist, fine, I will humor them.

    TL;DR: we’re taking over control of the country, and as long as nobody tries to stop us, it won’t be violent.

    It’s like when a thief robs your house and claims it’s the homeowners fault for the violence, “if they didn’t try to stop us it would’ve been peaceful.”

    What a crock of crap.

      Not entirely. I would much rather have a thief in my house than a fashist.

      Because when he talks about “non-violence” he skips over the persecution of minorities and enemies of the state.

      And enemies of the state can include anyone they want. For example pregnant women.

      First they came …

        Yeah, the monster energy drinking bros don’t realize that if they’re not wealthy, their kids will be on the front lines.

        Only once their kids are sent home in coffins en masse will these tides turn, if we go that route.

      This is why the punishment for treason is hanging.

      Takes the wind out of your sails a bit to see the leader of your violent ideology’s legs dangle and flail.

      If Trump wins then that exactly what we will need to do. I hate it but as a father of LGBTQ teens motherfuckers going die trying to take my kids away to some camp.

      I will fight when the time comes.

    I’m not so sure there are “quiet parts” anymore. They want to turn America into a Christian nation, banning same sex marriage, all abortions at any stage, gender transitions, and no-fault divorce. At this point very few on the right would deny this.

      Don’t forget IVF, sex education, (soon?) contraceptives, history education, any behavior not conforming to traditional European gender roles, medical care for the poor, social assistance for the poor, free meals for children, the arts…

      I could probably go on a while.

    Jesus fucking Christ, why isn’t this shit front page news?

    “Roberts has previously said he sees his organization’s role as ‘institutionalizing Trumpism.’”

    “Institutionalizing”? It was bad enough for four years; imagine it being the new normal.

    This dude needs prison for treason, and nothing else. Anyone else who says different is also making a case for jail for themselves.

      nothing else.

      A rope and a short fall would be ok too, and well within Biden’s power to protect the country.

    When fascism loses the communication war, which it has, they resort to the only other language they know which is violence
