We need to remember this when the revolution comes, and people are hesitant to start shooting. THIS is how they see us. We need to see them the exact same way.

I'm finally black pilled on Republicans. I thought for years that they were just uneducated morons that could be redeemed. I then realized with the second administration that no, they're just intellectually inconsistent and will do mental gymnastics ensuring they are never wrong nor accountable.

I feel like an extremist because I don't see a solution that isn't forced education or prison. Ignoring them doesn't work, making fun of them doesn't work, they've overcome societal safeguards and are immune to feelings of regret.

I don't see a solution that isn't forced education or prison.

Dissolution back into independent states, with an underground railroad to get sane people out of the red states.

Yeah I know it sucks. This whole thing sucks. I wish we hadn't lost the war over information, but now this is where we're at. If we're worried about external threats, we could accept Denmark's offer.

You may be underestimating the number of conservatives in blue states.

It's simple, let them have the South. It's a shithole due to their idiocy anyway

Deport anyone who has voted R in the last 2 elections and close the border

Simple

Problem with that is that we'd be forcing their children to grow up there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Good, nearly all of them just grow up to vote like their parents too

Maybe a few generations of crippling poverty and authoritarianism will weed out their tendency for monarchy

This should be the top new story for every news media outlet. They should be covering this Tweet in deep detail. What does it mean? Why did they send it? Who suggested it? Who wrote it? Who approved it? Who are they addressing it to? Is it approriate for the White House to be threatening to kill anyone?

If HitlerPig doesn't declare Martial Law and suspend elections, then this Tweet should be the centerpiece of EVERY election campaign.

It was about isis terrorists in Somalia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Context matters - but that's why you put out a press release, so you can include all the context.

So, doesn't matter who it's about, the US government used to at least lie about it's bloodthirstiness.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Yes. What the fuck?!? This is reminiscent of an abusive relationship when she tries to leave.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

Everyone has heard the hypothetical "if I could timetravel I'd kill Hitler", right? Well, now's the opportunity to depose of multiple aspiring Hitlers. Luigi Mangione laid the groundworks. They might not be building concentration camps, yet, but their greed is causing suffering of and/or killing just as many if not more.

Any context whatsoever on who "you" might be?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

The poor of America.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Isis terrorists in Somalia apparently. According to the source posted in this thread. Still a fucked thing to say.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Its isis. The photo is edited to remove the included re-tweet of some alleged bombing isis footage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

To whom it may concern

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Officially its terrorists in Somalia or Yemen or whatever. Unofficially its everyone who is not a white christian.

The missing context is that this is directed at ISIS, not the general public

It’s still a tweet that should not be posted by any account of such importance, but they’re not quite just saying outright to the populace in general “we’re gonna kill you”

They’re disappearing people on the street in and they’re posting no context tweets saying “WE WILL FIND YOU-AND WE WILL KILL YOU”. I’d hold off on sounding so sure about what they mean for now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Oh c'mon, a little sanewashing never caused any damage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I mean it's not exactly no context, it was in direct reply to another tweet that was simply cut out of the screenshot

It's still incredibly unbecoming of an official government communication. I'm just saying we don't need to overstate how bad it is, it's plenty bad enough already

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't know, I think any government saying that they will hunt and kill people is pretty bad. Maybe something more along the lines of investigation and prosecution. I'd even accept using necessary force to protect citizens, territory, and those of our allies that we have promised to defend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

100% agree, which is why I called it bad

Fart has told the USAmerican people his plan though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’m not pretending that that isn’t happening. I’ve seen the videos going around and it’s truly horrifying. But the tweet in question literally does have context. It’s a quote tweet quoting a propaganda video about ISIS. I’m not so ignorant as to completely dismiss the possibility that this wasn’t JUST directed at ISIS, but cutting out the quoted tweet and just showing the quote is misinformation and i don’t think that helps anybody at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Meh…I’m a “first they came for the socialists” person, and Fart has told USAmerica his plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks for the link. Context is ALWAYS crucial.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Couldn't have been directed at nicer people
