    Conservatives in comment sections everywhere: “pssh he’s just kidding, god you libs are so sensitive!”

    Pretty sure those cowardly fucks said if they kept their guns they would step in against tyranny.

      It’s not tyranny to them if they’re in the Kool Klub.

        Guns in the US have always been a fetish, and the whole “anti-tyranny” discourse is just the excuse needed to justify ignoring gun deaths to feed that fetish.

        Buy a gun, stroke it, buy accessories, buy a case, talk about gun safety using military terminology as if you’re some tactician in a war instead of a loser coming back home from McDonald’s, go to a shooting range to finally use the thing, point it at an innocent after a driving dispute. Its a fetish.

        You’re not going to stop tyranny with your handgun if your army spends a trillion dollars and could turn your city into a flat landscape in mere moments.

          Tell that to Ho Chi Mihn. Tell that to Fidel Castro. Tell that to the people of Iraq. Tell that to the people of Afghanistan. Tell that to the Paiwan. Tell that to the people of Korea.(who are still at war with their neighbors to the north because of the US.) Tell that to North Korea. Tell that to British Canadian Citizens who burnt your White House down. Tell that to Red Cloud.

          I could do another country if you would like but the idea is that in war the most powerful side doesnt always win the conflict.

          Have a good day fighting fascism.

            Sorry, how is that list of countries that are not the US and do not have the US Army are related to my comment about how US citizens carrying guns is irrelevant against their own military?

            Consider learning how to read before offering to write even more. Thanks.

    Omg, I think the most eerie thing about this whole thing has been how perfectly all of this was predicted.

    If it was a tv show I would say it’s lazy writing.

        Yeah but the fact that they published that, it actually hit critical mass, and they got elected to do it anyway is bonkers.

        That’s a funny way to say: associated herself strongly with the genocide president and said how we were going to have the most lethal military in the world.

        But sure it was the laugh.

        Edit: liberals so insanely scratched below.

          If it was about genocide, trump wouldn’t have won. She should have been better, no question. However, she was less leaning towards genocide in Gaza than he was. So if that was the decider it was vote her or third party or nobody, yet rump still got 70million odd votes.

            That makes no sense. Polls confirm Republicans care far less about the genocide than independents and Democrats. You need to appeal to your base to win.

            However, she was less leaning towards genocide in Gaza than he was

            She literally promised no deviation from Biden’s policies regarding Israel. Are you familiar with the story of the man with down syndrome who spoke his first and last words - “Habibi, please stop” - to a Zionazi attack dog who mauled him before they left him to die from his injuries, alone in his home? That’s what Harris promised no deviation from. If you expect people to vote for that, your soul is compromised.

              Yes, you need to appeal to your base to win. However, if voters are choosing between two candidates with almost identical positions on a topic, that’s not the deciding topic in that election.

              Maybe it should have been, but it wasn’t. If those against genocide really cared about it as their single issuez they would have still voted Harris, who promised nonchangez as opposed to trump who said he’d let Israel do whatever they want.

              It’s a fallacious argument.

                …Those are the same thing. Biden also let Israel do whatever they want.

                I am against genocide so I do not vote for genocide. A truly mind-boggling approach.

                  But you still got genocide. Just now you have it with a side of fascist rule instead of without. Hope you’re not melanated and near a border.

              If you’ve read the news this past year, no doubt you’ld be aware trump is doing what he said he’d do, and also did his first term. Good job! She wasn’t in charge when she made those statements. Trump IS.

                Was she in charge of her own mouth when she promised no deviation from Biden’s policy of also letting Israel do whatever they want?

                You’re defending an avowed genocidaire. Evaluate what led you here.

    Trump plans on circumventing the law and becoming a forever president king.

      Prove to me that he’s not already a king. He suffers zero consequences and solely controls every aspect of the federal government. He is what a 6 year old thinks the president is.

        The U.S. Supreme Court somehow handed down a major ruling that stops him from deploying National Guard to American cities… and he’s abiding by it. Is that what a king would do?

          The same Supreme Court that gave him license to do whatever he wants without any legal repercussions as long as he calls it presidential affairs?

          That’s a king. He’s a king.

          As an aside by doing this the Supreme Court effectively retroactively exonerated Nixon. The US is a joke.

            You’re conveniently glossing over the fact that kings don’t adhere to any court rulings.

            You know what this is? You just want to feel justified in your nihilism. If he already has absolute control as a king, then nothing can be done and we all might as well give up, right?

            Wrong. The regime hasn’t fully concentrated power, they aren’t invulnerable, and anyone who pretends otherwise is fucking complicit.

              The floor is yours, you can nitpick semantics and discuss esoteric constitutional law, and in the end we will end up at the fact that it protects the President far far outside anything reasonable. It was a sycophantic ruling that was put in place by a corrupt court.
