Mitch McConnel sucks something fierce but he just gave a speech that basically calling out anyone fighting the results of the election as a moron. This comes on the morning when he is officially notified he's lost all power in the senate.

Federal and local law enforcement are responding to reports of possible pipe bombs in multiple locations in Washington, DC.
It’s unclear if the devices are real or a hoax, but they’re being treated as real.

At what point do the Proud Boys and other storming the capitol get labeled ‘fascist’?
I hate Trump and the worst elements of American culture he let flourish, but i was hesitant to call him a fascist. A lot because some professors who study this said that while Trump ticked a lot of the boxes, he specifically lacked ideology, and a militant ‘Brownshirt’ group to enforce his claims.
Well, Trump’s ideology is just pure narcissism. And the Proud Boys are clearly the brownshirts. As well as the police who support Trump and enabled the protesters.
Fascism is here on full display. And its being coddled.

How did Ted Cruz become Trump's bitch? Didn't Trump call him a rat face or something like that during the Republican candidate debates? Authoritarians are weirdly perverted motherfuckers.Because sadly, the Trump vote became significant. He captured a vote the republicans couldn't capture. What I witnessed today only remains behind 9/11 in shockingness. Anyone who supports what happened today can gladly go fuck themselves.

It is mind-boggling these people were not stopped. I still can't believe it. I just hope this was the beginning of the end for trumpism and not the start of some civil war type shit.
The police forces need to be held accountable for their lack of reaction and I hope the rioters will be identified and prosecuted too.
Unfortunately the type of people that tend to become police officers are very authoritarian, and hence, Trump supporters
There is footage of them letting the mob through the fences

It's because the "brains" (trump) of the operation left them to their own devices. He literally invited these morons, spoke at their planning meeting and directed them by invitation to do what they did.
Is this state sponsored domestic terrorism if the commander in chief directs one branch of the government to attack another?
only in america could a political faction mobilize and storm a capitol only to be so devoid of actual political thought they just take selfies until the cops make them leave.
i feel like most political mobs would at least issue a communique, give demands etc. these jamokes just turned the senate into a monster truck rally for a little while and split.
the country is too dead minded and devoid of imagination to even attempt political upheaval.
There will never be unity in America. Yesterday was the complete end to that impossible notion.
When are people going to have enough of white supremacists, neo confederates, Qultists, neo-nazis, maga chuds, proud boys, and fascists going completely unchecked and allowed to walk on our streets without fear of violent repercussion? For all those who say forceful recourse isn't the answer, what do you suppose we do now? Sign petitions, try and educate people, peacefully march against actual fascism? Fuck no, it will never stop these people's blood lust, especially when Dems currently control the house, senate, and presidency.
When is enough? When these homegrown fascists start assassinating political figures and executing left-aligned people, is that going to be enough? And this is undoubtedly coming. If you think I am being too hyperbolic, white domestic terrorists stormed the highest halls of government with explosive devices yesterday and the police took selfies with them as they waved their confederate flags and donned neo-nazi apparel. The unthinkable is now inevitable. They have already doxxed leftist political figures and their addresses are being spread throughout Telegram, Parler, 4chan/8chan, and every other fringe far-right media platform. And it's completely impossible to stop the spread of that information.
These people are beyond reform, beyond reason, beyond rationality, and beyond saving. These people actually believe that ANTIFA was behind the events of yesterday - that's what type of people we are dealing with. Fringe right wing media is far too powerful and have a firm grasp on these people. They will never relent their propaganda campaigns because the grift is too profitable. And if these platforms even move slightly to the left, they just find another outlet that confirms their false beliefs further pushing them to commit acts of violence. So at this point in history, if anyone is still aligned with trump, they deserve to be met with force and be treated like the seditious traitors they are.

1. I don't kook posters, I consider it a passive-aggressive waste of time and I was genuinely interested in what your reasoning was.Well I assumed the look came from you because it was as you commented..I stand corrected. And no I am not positive that it will be any smoother on the 20th, but I fear the cons outweigh the pros. As far as giving him more time to gain legal traction, none of his other attempts at regaining his presidency have gained him any ground, so I find it hard to believe that the next 13 days would be any different.
2. Letting violent hostile rioters and seditionists control the shots seems like a terrible idea. Do you think that these people genuinely anticipate a peaceful transfer of power in two weeks? Not to mention, it completely ignores the fact that Trumpism doesn't die with Trump's term.

Sinner with the hot take
There were some minor arrests for breaking curfew and for unlawful entry... Seems like most of the worst offenders are easily identifiable. I am hoping that a federal case is quietly being built against them and they are charged the day after trump leaves office and have no chance of a pardon.

Yeah, big fucking bummer.
Sure, there isn't one group operating in a linear fashion, but lets remember when Steve Bannon said that the job of the right was to "Flood the zone with shit." The systems of operation are all based on absolute misinformation peddled by folks/groups who know well that they're peddling lies. Numerous, seemingly incoherent groups, make a harder target to take down while the US system continues to crumble. It's not the brainwashed, radicalized individuals fighting on the ground that are calling the big deal shots, it's the right wing think tanks and power brokers. Again, consider what it means to "flood the zone with shit." There's an almagamation of ideologies at play- Christian Nationalists (evangelicals mostly, who have been gaining power since the 80s), White Nationalists (overt white supremacists, open militia, people who openly show their beliefs through tattoos, gang affiliation), Boogaloo (anti government/pro civil/race war), Qanon (Right wing anti system group that has pulled in people from all walks of life to peddle fascist rhetoric while convincing them they're freedom fighters). In other times, members of these groups might not necessarily get together, but now, they're finding common ground, mostly through the expansive fight wing social media/media scape, and taking action. None of these people are "shit posting" and they never have been.
ALL of these factions have members operating within the government, military, law enforcement, and civil society. This isn't ending any time soon and it's only going to get crazier and more violent. Keep your eyes open to this shit and stay safe
Any dipshit that thinks that racism or white privilege doesn't exist deserves a slap in the face. These goons wearing horns and fur and tactical gear can take over the capitol building and the cops just let them in while BLM gets clubs, gas and rubber bullets in the eye.
4 people died yesterday right? Cause all I hear about is the one woman who was shot. What's up with the other 3? Something about them all having separate unrelated health emergencies at the same time or something? That doesn't sound too plausible
Some day the two-party paradigm must break, surely. It seems unlikely but Trump may prove to be the deciding factor in that shift. There is vast if dormant frustration about the false Rep Dem dichotomy. Now that he's formally alienated from the reds, Trump may start to cultivate that potential.
Maybe twenty years from now there'll be a battery of parties to choose from and we'll all have to concede that this thoughtless, reckless man brought progress, while these camouflaged brutes claim to have foreseen it all along. 'That's why we marched the Capitol in '21!', they'll say.
Just a daymare pals, carry on.

Shit, as much as I'd like to see Trump at least get the official stigma of being kicked out of office...

Expand QuoteAt what point do the Proud Boys and other storming the capitol get labeled ‘fascist’?
I hate Trump and the worst elements of American culture he let flourish, but i was hesitant to call him a fascist. A lot because some professors who study this said that while Trump ticked a lot of the boxes, he specifically lacked ideology, and a militant ‘Brownshirt’ group to enforce his claims.
Well, Trump’s ideology is just pure narcissism. And the Proud Boys are clearly the brownshirts. As well as the police who support Trump and enabled the protesters.
Fascism is here on full display. And its being coddled.[close]
here's something from r/askhistorians that explains contemporary American fascism as something uniquely American and unlike other fascists groups. You say that he lacked ideology, but MAGA is the ideology, it, like the ideology of other fascists, reaches for the past or a period of earlier purity.
"I can't take credit for the below, but am posting on behalf of /u/commiespaceinvader who worked on this but had to go to sleep.
Fascism is by its nature, by its design a violent movement and so it is no stranger to both coups and other attempts to take political power and political space by violence. Indeed, violence and its public display is an essential ideological feature of fascism as a political ideology.
Unlike the advocates of liberal democracy, it is not reason or modernization, which drives forward and unlike communists, it is not material relationships. For the Fascist the engine of history is conflict, whether between nations, peoples or races. History is a constant struggle in which a community of mythical qualities needs to assert itself in order to gain dominance over others. Dominance is the core goal and must be asserted. And only if the right and rightful people dominate will a golden age begin.
The political utopia of the Fascist differs greatly from liberal or communist visions of utopia: Both of the latter are built on a vision of a utopian future that needs to be built and achieved. The Fascist on the other hand looks to the past for its utopia since most fantasies of dominance are historically justified. Whether it is the return to the Roman Empire or the mythical Lebensraum of German kings, all Fascist utopian visions are built upon a return to a hazy, mythological past in which the world was right. And such a return must by necessity be a violent one, one that engages in the eternal conflict with the supposedly sinister forces that have lead to the lapse and prevent a return.
According to scholar of fascism, Robert Paxton, it is not an ideology like others but understands itself as a political practice more than anything else:
In a way unlike the classical "isms", the rightness of fascism does not depend on the truth of any proposition advanced in its name. Fascism is "true" insofar as it helps fulfill the destiny of a chosen race or people or blood, locked with other peoples in a Darwinian struggle, and not in the light of some abstract universal reason. (...) The truth was whatever permitted the new fascist man (and woman) to dominate others, and whatever made the chosen people triumph.
Fascism rested not upon the truth of its doctrine but upon the leader's mystical union with historic destiny of his people. (...) The fascist leader wanted to bring his people into a higher realm of politics that they would experience sensually: the warmth of belonging to a race now fully aware of its identity, historic destiny, and power; the excitement of participating in a vast collective enterprise; the gratification of submerging oneself in a wave of shared feelings, and of sacrificing one's petty concerns for the group's good; and the thrill of domination. Fascism deliberate replacement of reasoned debate with immediate sensual experience transformed politics, as the exiled cultural critic Walter Benjamin was first to point, into aesthetics. And the ultimate fascist aesthetic experience, Benjamin warned in 1936, was war.
Fascist leaders made no secret of having no program. (...) Fascism radical instrumentalization of truth explains why fascists never bothered to write any casuistical literature when they changed their program as they did often and without compunction. Stalin was forever writing to prove that his policies accorded somehow with the principles of Marx and Lenin; Hitler and Mussolini never bothered with any such theoretical justification. In the same vein, Paxton goes on to define Fascism as
a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.
Lastly I’ll leave you with what Robert Paxton writes about Fascism and America:
The United States itself has never been exempt from fascism. (...) Much more dangerous [than movements like the American Nazi Party, which utilize already established tenants and creeds from Europe] are movements that employ authentically American themes in ways that resemble fascism functionally. The Klan revived in the 1920s, took on virulent anti-Semitism, and spread to the cities of the Middle West. In the 1930s, Father Charles E. Coughlin gathered a radio audience estimated at forty million around anti-communist, anti-Wall Street, pro-soft money, and – after 1938 – anti-Semtic message broadcast from his church in the outskirts of Detroit. (...) Today a "politics of resentment" rooted in authentic American piety and nativism sometimes leads to violence against some of the very same "internal enemies" once targeted by the Nazis, such as homosexuals and defenders of abortion rights.
Of course the United States would have to suffer catastrophic setbacks and polarization for these fringe groups to find powerful allies and enter the mainstream. I half expected to see emergence after 1968 a movement of national reunification, regeneration, and purification directed against hirsute antiwar protesters, black radicals, and "degenerate" artists. I thought that some of the Vietnam veterans might form analogs to the Freikorps of 1919 Germany and Itlaian Arditi, and attack youths whose demonstrations on the steps of the Pentagon had "stabbed them in the back". Fortunately, I was wrong (so far). (...)
The language and symbols of an authentic American fascism would, of course, have little to do with the original European models. They would have to be familiar and reassuring to loyal Americans as the language and symbols of the original fascism were familiar and reassuring to many Italians and Germans. (...) No swastikas in an American fascism, but Stars and Stripes (or Stars and Bars) and Christian corsses. No fascist salute, but mass recitation of the pledge of allegiance. These symbols contain no whiff of fascism in themselves, of course, but an American fascism would transform them into obligatory litmus tests for detecting the internal enemy."
only in america could a political faction mobilize and storm a capitol only to be so devoid of actual political thought they just take selfies until the cops make them leave.
i feel like most political mobs would at least issue a communique, give demands etc. these jamokes just turned the senate into a monster truck rally for a little while and split.
the country is too dead minded and devoid of imagination to even attempt political upheaval.

seriously, right? any questions the rest of the world had about what exactly Americans mean when we talk about ignorant, fuck-wit, white trash amongst us, should have had any questions about this group answered yesterday...
...which isn't to say that they aren't dangerous and a bunch of fucking rabid animals...they are indeed, and in this regard--perhaps ironically--i received another 500 rounds of 7.62 x 39 yesterday that i found fairly cheap recently i'm happy to say.
the conversation regarding fascism going on here is important and i'm looking forward to having the time to read through this thread--fascism and fascists are not easy to define...for instance,
"Fascism has an enigmatic countenance because in it appears the most counterpoised contents. It asserts authoritarianism and organizes rebellion. If fights against contemporary democracy and. on the other hand, does not believe in the restoration of any past rule. It seems to pose itself as the forge of a strong state, and uses means most conducive to its dissolution, as if it were a destructive faction or a secret society. Whichever way we approach fascism we find that it is simultaneously one thing and the contrary, it is A and not A..." (Jose Ortega y Gasset)
that's actually the epigraph from Fascism: A Very Short Introduction which i've encountered in some excellent courses and which i've used when dealing with history and texts where fascism is a focus in classes i've taught:

What on earth did they do to get Trump to make that video speech just now? I can't believe he did go off about the election being stolen. Did McDonald's threaten to ban him from all of their restaurants unless he made a statement condemning the rioters? I doubt Melania lets him get any so it probably wasn't a pussy strike. I'm really surprised he made that statement.

On a positive tip, I showed a person on Facebook that YouTube has been feeding him videos of fake news instead of actual news that contradict his opinions.

Allegedly one of the people who died accidentally tased themselves and had a stroke. Apparently it was while they were attempting to steal a painting.
A confirmed one though was dude who posted photos of himself with guns along with captions like "i wish these motherfuckers would come to my hood!". He was a self described proud boy and bragged about using his guns to "take this country back". He was very amped for his big day.
Then he got there and got too excited and died of a heart attack lol

Dearly beloved, we meet here today to celebrate the life of Carl Chunkus.... a man who died just as he lived. Carl was certainly a man of many talents and passions. Without question, his biggest passion was sending small electrical currents through his genitals, or as Carl liked to refer to it, "Waking up the neighbors".
We will always remember Carl in our hearts. Please join us as we continue our remembrance of Carl at the International House of Pancakes, on Beuford avenue just before you hittheI-95.

Fair point. But it even seems like the swat guys aren't moving with any sense of urgency. And what on the hell were the officers doing before they showed up? Just sidelining throughout the mayhem? Just seems like a massive failure to fulfill their duties. A lot of heads are going to roll over this.

of course it's been ramped up due to internet. While not the military, look at involvement of Portland PD and and proud boys- there are inextricable connections at this point- seriously, just search Portland pd and proud boys, parking garage, weapons. Since 9 11 anyways, involvement of armed authority figures has been forking into multiple streams what with the amount of combat vets joining police forces and so forth. As for the internet, well, my friend the internet can connect everyone and these fuckers have used encrypted chats and the like to a great degree for recruitment purposes. Pretty sure discord was big for a while

Oh for sure, i mean they had one job, and that's to keep people out of the capitol. Huge failure, so many jobs are going to be lost
I read that they possibly let them in as it was easier to control a huge mob by containing them and waiting for backup rather than getting overwhelmed trying to keep them from moving forward. Kind of makes sense but then you remember that most of those cops are probably hanging out on messageboards with those people on their time off
It figures that many cops lean right but it seems pointless to read much into their behavior in this situation. Once they were in, cops were grossly outnumbered and their only recourse was to mollify a marching crowd of proud morons.
Obviously it should never have gotten to that point, and it is baffling how this could possibly have caught them by surprise. I mean, OP called it. Many did.
Reading the comments on the bitchute link is unnerving. People are convinced it has Dem false flag written all over it. 'BLM cadence' etc. How fringe is that reading?

Once they were in, cops were grossly outnumbered and their only recourse was to mollify a marching crowd of proud morons.Even up here in Canada people knew what was going to happen. I was talking to some conspiracy nut on a job site, and he told me this was going to happen. He was off on the numbers(he said a million trump supporters were going to show up), but the fact that he knew about this means it was circulating on forums, social media, and by word of mouth. It's very suspicious that they weren't prepared.

in re the conversation regarding fascism, this essay by Timothy Snyder is definitely one of the most perspicacious things written since January 6 regarding now and the future, and the Republican party, and where we fit that spectacle at the capitol and Trump's part in it on the barometer of fascism:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/09/magazine/trump-coup.html
"Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president."
This was a race riot aboard a navy vessel that sparked other race riots on other ships in the Vietnam War era.The nature of the Vietnam War itself served to inflame new and preexisting racial tensions in the United States. It was the first war to take place during/after widespread desegregation (and other cultural/social upheaval), meaning some soldiers exited (and entered) with a racist mentality that was exacerbated by their time enlisted; it was a conflict heavily characterized by dehumanization of the enemy on racial lines ("the only good Viet Cong is a dead Viet Cong"); and it was the first war the United States lost, leaving veterans bitter and angry at their country for failing them.

here's a piece from Mike Giglio at the Intercept. Giglio has spent the past year talking with militia types and has some stuff you should all probably read. "In October, I was talking with a longtime member of the militant movement who says he’s a veteran of the elite special operations community. This is an older but still formidable man has always been genial with me. We were talking about the upcoming election and his conviction that there would be massive fraud when he changed his tone and veered off into a very dark place. “What ultimately happens is some people stand with Trump and some people stand against the country. Some people stand with the coup, some people stand against the coup, and nobody stands with the law or morality at that point, and that’s where the war begins,” he said. “When we actually get involved, we’re going to kill Democrats, liberals, and communists at a rate that will defy anything that’s occurred in history, and when that happens, we’re going to make sure that it’s done so thoroughly that we don’t ever have to have this argument again. … It’s going to be so ugly and ruthless. … We’re going to go to the homes of the tank operators [who would be called in to put down an insurrection] and kill their wives and their children and nail them to the walls.”

here's a piece from Mike Giglio at the Intercept. Giglio has spent the past year talking with militia types and has some stuff you should all probably read. "In October, I was talking with a longtime member of the militant movement who says he’s a veteran of the elite special operations community. This is an older but still formidable man has always been genial with me. We were talking about the upcoming election and his conviction that there would be massive fraud when he changed his tone and veered off into a very dark place. “What ultimately happens is some people stand with Trump and some people stand against the country.

Wait - you saying the guy being quoted has it together or not? Sounds incredibly delusional from those quotes.[close]
Read the piece for context. What I posted was something relayed to Giglio by a militia member, who, while possibly posturing, is probably speaking some degree of truth behind their beliefs and motives.

Continuing off topic...
As far as governing, I don't know how someone governs the right left divide in that state. NY really is two states jammed together (one hyper conservative mid-western rust belt and the other a global city-state).
First off, NYC is huge and has a healthy conservative population in Staten Island, some parts of Brooklyn, and lots of Queens. I wasn't around at the time, but I also understand that Bloomberg did a lot for this city and many people I know speak highly of him (though I don't necessarily agree with their praise).
Second off, Rochester (and many other upstate towns and cities), for all its flaws, is still a tight-knit community in a beautiful region. They deal with the same red/blue divide that lots of other cities across the country encounter, not to mention the fact that the industry that sustained the town (Kodak) basically went up and under a few years ago. Of course they're struggling, just like any other post-industrial city in this nation. That doesn't mean upstate isn't worth "saving," whatever that means.
Also, it's very fair to point out that New York's death toll is unnecessarily high regardless of capita, which could have been avoided had Cuomo and Bill de Blasio (who is also an idiot) not engaged one another in a dick swinging competition for the majority of March instead of just closing everything down and encouraging people to stay home. Lots of outlets have written about it, this is a good summary of the first few months: https://www.propublica.org/article/two-coasts-one-virus-how-new-york-suffered-nearly-10-times-the-number-of-deaths-as-california
Obviously, other governors fucked up royally, but they're being held up as examples whereas Cuomo is getting Emmys and becoming an establishment hero.

Ok, Rudy and Bloomberg make a little more sense when we bring in Staten Island.
And, i think you misread my comment about Buffalo/WNY... It wasn't if it is worth saving but if it can be saved. I don't know a billion dollars is enough to turn the city around as it is still losing population even with the big state investment.
I think Cuomo gets praise not for the first month or two of the pandemic but for his press conferences where he said this is going to suck but we'll make it through, which is what a lot of people needed to hear opposed to Trump conjecturing about injecting bleach.
And, to each their own, but Upstate is losing people like crazy and there is probably a reason fully renovated houses go for less than 100K in Binghamton. (Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and Albany have their appeal), but sadly the small towns are decaying. I lived in one for a few years for work and it was not an enjoyable experience. I took a big pay cut to just get out of there.
The reason it was a bummer relates back to the key theme of our thread... I saw tons of confederate flags in rural NY (multiple apartments on main street hung the flag in their windows, it was on the pick up trucks that would drive around to protest the pride parade, etc.). I know black dudes who are afraid to leave their university campus since they believe the local population doesn't want them around. And, they weren't necessarily wrong, I remember being at a cafe trying to shoot the shit with locals and owner of the building told me, "This place was great before the Blacks and Mexicans moved in." The anti-immigrant sentiment was so strong that people would tell me and my ex how immigrants are all terrible people and the cause of all of the problems in society (just not my ex she was ok...she was white). The drug problem in the small town was of the charts as well, which creates problems attracting new residents or keeping residents (the company I worked for can't keep anyone around and even the local hospitals struggle to recruit doctors...no doctors = terrible healthcare and just another reason to flee). My ex would come home pissed after being harassed on her walk home by dudes in trucks and I almost got ran over multiple times by the same people. Not to mention during my brief tenure living a small rural NY town, my landlord grilled me about my religion (she would only rent to Christians) being baptized Catholic assuaged her fears, but she also reminded me that satan was coming back as a Catholic and she constantly tried to convert me. She believed vitamin c cured cancer but the gov wouldn't tell us, the military was poisoning us with chemtrails, and she had a little following among the locals who believed this nonsense.
Small town NY was honestly the angriest most hateful place I ever lived. Many of the characters I had to interact with were the people who would have fit right in at this riot.
Location data gleaned from thousands of videos posted on the social network Parler and extracted in the days before Amazon restricted access to app this week, reveal its users included police officers around the U.S. and service members stationed on bases at home and abroad.
The presence on Parler of active military and police raises concerns, experts said, about their potential exposure to far-right conspiracy theories and extremist ideologies enabled by the platform’s practically nonexistent moderation and its stated openness to hate speech. Military officials have long considered infiltration and recruitment by white supremacist groups a threat. Groups that endorsed a wide range of racist beliefs appear to have been operating openly on Parler, the experts said, with the de facto permission of its owners. The FBI has likewise raised concerns over law enforcement agents adopting radical views and being recruited—viewing their access to secured buildings, elected officials, and other VIPs as a singular threat.
Some really good jokes have come out of this epic failure ... some middle eaters guy tweeted that "due to covid restrictions, the usa had to stage a coup on domestic ground this year".
my landlord grilled me about my religion (she would only rent to Christians)Was she aware that that is an illegal practice?

ya dude, it's fucked up. It's fucked up that it's gone and going down.
it's fucked up that they're trashing AOC for speaking to the people about what went down in a relatable away. These cocksuckers sitting around with their feet on the desk, skipping out etc, are dangerous, grade A pieces of shit. MTGreene isn't even the worst of it and it's only going to get darker. I fear that this lack of accountability on both sides and partisan white supremacist animus from the GOP, along with the Dems ineffectual attitude regarding the disaster that's been unfolding the states over the past 4 years and is at a head right now, and this continue austerity bullshit being peddled by the Biden administration is setting up a political shit show in the near future.

Without the reds pushing the space race, we probably wouldn't have gone. Also this is the logical endpoint for our insane hyper capitalist revanchist country. We got all gassed up on our own propaganda about being the world's #1 good guy post WWII super slam wrestlemania. Then the right wing started targeting the evangelicals and dog whistling to them about how we need a white Christian country lead by wrote Christians to go out and save the world and kill communists. Then the left got punked, pantsed and thrown off the top of the Hell in a Cell cage by Nixon and Reagan and decided to just become Republicans, but just friendlier to minorities and gay people. We handed over the reigns to wall street and k street and let them run our economy into the ground multiple times and killed organized labor. Now we're back in the gilded age, complete with robber barons, the only difference is that they're big tech companies that put wifi and microphones on your toaster so they can sell your data and spy on you or companies that are "disrupting" mass transit by reinventing the bus or taxis.
I just mean and it’s just like my opinion, man, but as if your election got rigged fucken think about it
if it was rigged trump woulda won, c’mon
I have a relative who is into this shit. Oh man the level of crazy is out of control.

https://www.npr.org/2021/12/31/1068930675/us-election-coup-january-6-military-constitution
...yet these same predictable "liberal" voices of myopic privilege and security are the loudest and most consistent voices for disarming all of us on the TRUE LEFT in the poor and working classes--just like a lot of "liberal" people here on SLAP. so, this seems like a perfect place to ask all of the clever heads in here who think i should be disarmed, if something like NPR is discussing the very real chance that significant parts of this country's military are compromised to the point that the potential for a coup in 2024 has to be taken seriously--which isn't even to get into the trained and mobilized extremists in our civilian population--yet leftists like me (and others in here) should not have the guns, "high-capacity" magazines, plate carriers and other tactical gear, training, etc. that i/we do, how do you darlings recommend we proceed from here then?
