Yep. You let a bunch of criminal thugs out of prison and that's what will happen.

There will be rampant violent crime, but not from immigrants.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago

Immigrants, and anybody who could be an immigrant, have been legitimised as targets.

The violence will generate a lot of noise, and that noise will very effectively distract from the corruption and criminal enterprise of the current administration and their oligarch friends.

Every day is punch-a-nazi day.

Unfortunately, that's the violence you won't be pardoned for

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have to be a lot more violent to get pardoned for hurting the regime.

You have to reach insurrection and hope that the next guy is useless

Do you want Brownshirts? Because that's how you get Brownshirts!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think they explicitly do want brownshirts buddy.

They do until they don't. Hitler came to power with the support of the brownshirts and then turned on them during the night of the long knives while shifting his rhetoric from the working class to the middle class.

But yeah, I take your point. Trump definitely doesn't mind if his followers instigate political violence against his opponents.

The GOP’s self-styled image as the party of “law and order” has purchase insofar as it contrasts with the Democrats who turned a blind eye to crimes committed by the right people...

And that's enough fiction for today.

The fact The National Review is highlighting this headline is noteworthy as they are a conservative source that was at one point quite renowned. When conservative editorial sources are calling out their own side it should be noted.
