Quietly watching discourse around this man’s statements like a thermometer. Should I drink a shot when someone disavows his ideas or when they say he’s not wrong?

    He’s not wrong, though.

    Dude’s ruining lives (or worse, for pricks that think human life isn’t a factor to consider) businesses with all his policies.

    Not a lie to be found. This is a better mindset than all the morons that think it will be fixed at the ballot box and can just rely on the people in power feeling bad cause of peaceful protests once every few months (if even that frequent).

    Alright, I can’t argue too strongly about those statements being investigated.

    How about all the times I’ve seen MAGA people make threats like that and worse? Crickets? Thought so.

      Yeah, my own half brother threatened to shoot me for voting against his orange god. My parents regularly would post about how anyone who disagreed with Trump deserved death.

      But these are rules for others, not for them.

        Over a decade ago my cousins advised me on Facebook that “they had the guns” and “they knew where I live”. I’ve had to block almost all of that side of the family.

    Not too often am I proud of a fellow Oklahoman that makes the news. Just wish he would of pulled a twkyk and said, I want you all to know it’s illegal to say, the president has to die to save lives. Now I’ll not saying it, I just think he and others should know its illegal to say that.

    Yes.

    Then you’ll soon pass out from alcohol poisoning and take a break from all this awful shit.

    Whatever he said or would say, it’s a tempting concept that powerholders should be a tad bit afraid of being massive assholes when nothing else works. The right would theoretically get some martyr points if Don avoids the death to bloody diarea, but at the same time we all saw how scary it was to Shapiro and the likes when Charlie Kirk’s neck found it’s new turning point. Trump suddenly becoming an explosion of orange confetti is, obviously, a part of some accelerationist thought, but at the same time I believe it would decelerate things a lot because selfish grifters and gray cardinals of his presidency would be stopped in their tracks by pure shock and realization they are too made of flesh.

      A wise man once said, “The billionaires forget that unions were the compromise workers made to air their grievances compared to the previous method of dragging factory owners out into the street by their hair and beating them to death.”

      Tbf no form of revenge that Maga swore after the neckening was new to the shit they already wanted to do. It was probably just the first time most people heard it. They’ve been on some “throw em all in a hole and cover it up” shit since forever

    Soon he’ll be the American Seville. Abused thousands knowing he wouldn’t be stopped and died. No justice was ever servered, he got away with everything and died.

    I feel like mentioning all the maga fucks that said similar shit is whataboutism but come on. How does this help the cause? We have to burn it down sure but with legislature and justice. Death and violence begets death and violence.
