Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore on Tuesday told "War Room" host Steve Bannon that he plans to push the legislature to defund Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis' prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, arguing that Trump's prosecution threatens to ignite a "civil war." Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend "a million dollars" to defend himself in the case. "It's just like Nazi Germany," Moore claimed. "I mean, they want to call us the Nazis and their actions are Nazism."

Not a huge surprise. They missed their chance to represent the South the first time around, so this would be a dream come true for them.

It was the same group. The parties swapped orientations from the 1930's to the 1960's. It was a weird time for political party names. Voters had to really make sure they knew the positions of who they were voting for because the conservatives (racists) were slowly drifting from one party to the other and running in both parties.

Usually they would hop from Democrat to Republican as a publicity stunt in defiance of legislation not being racist enough for them. They were the same temper tantrum dipshit conservatives back then as they are now.

The conservatives have always been the racists and the normal people have always been the ones trying to avoid or stop them.

Sure, and the Republicans have since pivoted from "big business, free trade, American strength" to "hate groups, corruption, and treason for Russia".

You should be legally able to assault people who say terroristic threat as a case of self defense, or at least the defense of others.

I agree. It's a clear threat of violence. It's a breach of peace at a minimum, but more like a threat of deadly force. Dude should be arrested.

All these little Kim Jong Wannabes, rattling their sabers and threatening war if they aren’t appeased.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Also sounds like China's final warnings

The civil war never ended. You just had a long ceasefire.
