They can never again argue they need their guns to overthrow an authoritarian government. It was a stupid argument to begin with but now they show they would cheer such a government on.
As long as they think fascism will only hurt the people they want hurt, they will go right along. By the time they realize their mistake it will be too late.
If they realize their mistake.
The policies of their overlords will begin to bite them and they’ll still blame someone else.
They'll say it would be worse with a Democrat.

Ah, makes me take a trip down memory lane.

We need guns to fucking deal with them AND the tyrannical government they're imposing. 🤦
Reminder that Trump said “I like taking the guns early ... Take the guns first, go through due process second"
They will be so upset when dictator Trump bans guns.
As long as the guns are "pointed" at woke warriors, terrifying trannies, and murderous migrants there's no need to take the guns.
It's this. Remember Trump knows this cult member wouldn't hurt HIM.
Trump knew crowd at rally was armed yet demanded they be allowed to march
Trump said: “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here, let the people in and take the mags away.”
They defend his comment about taking the guns first and due process second.
Remember... Your conservative friends and family will politely wave as they watch you escorted away to be "re-educated".
Your conservative family, neighbors and co-workers do not value your life the way you value theirs. They are simply not capable of that. Empathy is not a conservative trait. It never has been.
"Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom." - Herbert Spencer
Okay, this quote may be fine, but let's not pretend Herbert Spencer wasn't an advocate of a lot of bad ideas.
We should pick one candidate to all vote for in the Republican primaries.
There's no Democratic primaries this year and we're stuck with Biden. We don't have to be stuck with Trump as his opponent. If someone else wins the Republican primary, Trump will run as a third party candidate and split the fascist vote.
And it doesn't matter which one. Any non-Trump nominee will drag down Trump and vice versa. I'd suggest whoever comes in second in Iowa, just because they're the most likely to have any momentum at all.
I agree. I think every single non-Trumper in this country should vote for Chris Christie in the primary. He is the least dangerous candidate, it will piss off Trump the most if Christie is the nominee, and you can guarantee it will mean a third party run for Trump. Seems like a net win all around.
Can you imagine the pucker and about-face the Republican party would have to do if CC were the nominee?
Edit: I'll do it. It's legal in Michigan and I'm an independent anyway, allowed to vote in either primary I choose. Why shouldn't I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
It would be truly glorious to watch all these ball-coddlers have to tuck tail and try to save their own asses from their knuckle-dragging constituents.
Why shouldn’t I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
I mean... you absolutely should! Not even just to "sabotage" Trump. That's just a good idea in general.
Honestly, it’s pretty fucked up that chris christie is the “sane” vote for “sane “ conservatives.
Like he’s not exactly a paragon of integrity, or good governance.
Some (many?) states have closed Republican primaries. In the states you can only participate if you are a registered republican.
Which is exactly why I'm registered as Republican.

Oppress me harder daddy
I really worry about 2024. Between trump announcing "yup, we are gonna have a beer hall putsch" and Biden saying "Yeah, I'm a zionist and we need to 100% support israel"... It feels real bad man.
I'm going to vote for biden, make no mistake (because he's still a better president than trump ever could be)... but dude seems to be doing everything possible to lose progressive votes. I'm really worried that trump ends up being president because of the disillusion from Biden's centrism and Israel support.
It helps to remember that the US president will always support Israel. It doesn't matter who is president. Unless we magically get someone like Bernie Sanders at some point, the US will always support Israel.
I think even Bernie would, but with a lot more criticality. Calling for a ceasefire, attaching conditions to aid, drawing red lines for US support.
Ironic that the guy who actually lost close family in the holocaust is the one who doesn't have his head up his ass about the Israeli government
This is how we get Nazi 2.0.
It's so blatant it is totally wild...
This is the third time Conservatives have done this, it fails every time. Though they did get their own Confederacy once.
No, but you see, they're just "economically anxious", not literal fascists. /s
Ship them off with trump to some other land
They don't want to be ruled by him. They want him to be cruel to everyone else. Without the everyone else, they don't really have much use for him.
I'll never forget that Trump supporter complaining that "he's hurting the wrong people" during his administration
Better idea- send them to Florida or Texas and build a "big, beautiful wall" between them and the rest of the U.S.
And make them pay for it.
Sheep often need to be led. Even if, no- especially when… it’s to the slaughterhouse.
Does this mean they raised their right hands in a salute?
The republican traitor filth must be held to account and brought under the heel of the law.
Have we tried talking to these people? Perhaps in a diner setting, that would be good
We need to make a list of these sycophants so when we are in the clean-up phase of this shit show we can guarantee these ideals won't rise to the surface ever again. These sick fuckers are monsters, let them have the fate of monsters.
