I think fascism is more dangerous than just the mean tweets
You proudly vote for the only party in America which behaves like fascists.
If Trump was the fascist you people claim he is he wouldn't have allowed an election the first place.
Only the left tries to crush dissent.
Only the left attacks free speech.
I am not confident that you know what fascism is at all or how it would come into power in America. It looks like Donald Trump. If he had the public support to cancel the election, he would have. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for America, most people hate the guy and he's poison for the Republican ticket. I'm getting more confident that the Republicans will find a way to take him down. It's at least going to be much closer than I thought a year ago.
And how has that one protest impacted your life and the day to day lives of 99.9999% of Americans in the least?
Well, let's see: "99.9999% of Americans" works out to about 330 people. Between officers injured and those arrested, we're looking at more than a thousand people.
I would say that the "day to day lives" of those thousand-plus have been impacted substantially.
Oh you got me. I guess I will revise that to 99.9997%. Now, 100% have been screwed by inflation and most others have been harmed by the myriad of other issues created and exacerbated by the failed policies and Biden and the left. I love how agip and his associates try so desperately to hold on to January 6th and have no rebuttal for all of the failures of the current administration. This is the Biden thread. Talk about Biden and his policies. They have buried us.
Just another reminder of why the Trumper's idiocy angers - yes, angers - me so much:
1) Fortunately, we still have bureaucratic and legal systems that are reasonably good at finding truth and holding (non-incredibly-wealthy) people accountable. But they don't trust that, and pretend that the election was stolen. Nearly 2 years, no proof, no problem.
2) AT THE SAME TIME, they're hoping for and supporting politicians who promise them an American future where one CAN'T trust the bureaucratic and legal systems. "Don't like an election result? No problem. MY/OUR Secretary of State will make it right." And MY AG and/or MY judges will make it OK.
Pretty much exactly what the founders envisioned, I think.
Yep, real patriots, just ask them.
And Trumpers, if you don't have a retort that doesn't absurdly claim that current D corruption/dishonesty/anti-democracy is roughly the same as current R corruption/dishonesty/anti-democracy, please save the keystrokes and STFU.
You have been programmed to hate 1/2 of your fellow citizens.
The ruling elite need us at each others throats so we are not at theirs
The "ruling elite" don't and (currently) can't elect themselves. People like you (and yes, that roughly half that I'm not thrilled about) elect them. Trump is nothing without voters. Ditto all the other Trumper politicians.
And right now, ONE side of the pair of "ruling elite" parties has shown itself to be far, far more dangerous, dishonest, and indecent than the other.
Lastly, show me someone who uses phrases like "ruling elite," and I'll show you someone who very likely shouldn't be talking about other folks being "programmed."

Trump didn't want to cancel the election because he lost he wanted to prevent it's certification because he's convinced there was rampant fraud.
In an election where ballots were mailed out like candy and didn't even have to be signed or validated in ANY WAY you can't be a reasonable person and think there wasn't fraud.
in the 'conservative' world, allegedly assaulting 72 year old men is fine and dandy, and arresting them is fascism.
But arresting the assailant is only fascism because he is 'conservative.' Arresting anyone else is called 'law and order.'
got it?
The federal indictment says that Houck twice assaulted a 72-year-old man who was a patient escort at a Planned Parenthood clinic at 1144 Locust St. in Philadelphia on Oct. 13, 2021. According to the indictment, Houck shoved the escort, identified only with the initials B.L., to the ground as B.L was attempting to escort two patients. Houck also “verbally confronted” and “forcefully shoved” B.L. to the ground in front of Planned Parenthood the same day, the indictment says. The indictment says that B.L. was injured and needed medical attention.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler feuded with Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over Donald Trump's "unconstitutional" impeachment process, a new book claims.

Fascism has ALWAYS lived in the left.
It's funny to me that you think Trump believes his own lies.

The FBI has lied before. There's absolutely no reason to believe them.
Houck's wife says the 72 year old man was verbally abusing their 12 year old son and that her husband was just defending himself.
Either way it's a simple assault case.
You don't send the FBI swat team to raid a house with assault rifles for simple assault unless you're a fascist thug trying to send a message.
When you say, "Academic discussion," do you mean like between pre-schoolers? (with apologies to some pre-schoolers)
Stuff like this literally reminds me of some kind of Sesame Street skit.
"Hey kids, I'm having trouble C-O-M-P-A-R-I-N-G. Can you help me ?!"
Is "ONE MAN" doing a bad thing THE SAME AS a president and hundreds of sycophants (with millions of supporters) explicitly and persistently trying to steal an election ??"
Please let me know, kids. Thanks !!
And while we're at it, here's a more graduate level Sesame Street question:
"Are a few Democratic politicians making some sour grapes and/or perhaps intemperate remarks about the 2016 election THE SAME AS a president and hundreds of sycophants (with millions of supporters) explicitly and persistently trying to steal an election ??"
Like I said, a LITTLE bit harder, but.........the freakin' SIMPLE answer is "NO."

"believe donald trump'
'don't believe the FBI'
has to be the m'aga-est thing I've ever heard. Congrats. You win.

The charges were so trivial that the civil case was thrown out. Then the feds stepped in and kitted up like they were ready to invade a small nation to throw abortion into the national spotlight before an election and demonstrate the dangers of M@GA extremism.

As much as the selective, no doubt massively inconsistent hatred of the FBI disgusts me, at least one could give someone (although not adult) the benefit of the doubt that they recently read some damning anecdotes about the FBI and have perhaps overshot on distrusting and/or hating the whole organization.
But geez, in a whole 'nother universe is stating that Donald Trump didn't try to keep the presidency SIMPLY because he's a massive, massive, massive piece of human sh**, but no, because he had legitimate concerns about the election. IMAGINE having seen that guy speak or tweet even a small handful of times and ACTUALLY still saying this. Stupendous.

I didn't say anything about believing Trump. I said the Houck's account is different than the FBI's account and pointed out that the FBI has been caught lying multiple times.
The FBI raided a man's home with machine guns for a SIMPLE ASSAULT charge.
You're condoning fascist behavior because you like the politics of the fascists.

got it?
You're defending an armed, 25-person FBI swat team for an alleged assault.
Fascism.
They also violated the freedom of the press and assembled a small army to get back the president's daughters diary (even though it did not involve classified government documents or threaten the national security, which is the standard for violating the freedom of the press).

two things:
There's nothing 'fascist' about using powerful law enforcement. Left, right, middle, they all do it. So you are just being lame and stupid for calling that 'fascist.' How about calling it 'communist?' it makes the same amount of sense as calling it 'fascist.'
second...we don't have the facts. You and I don't know anything but what is being reported on right wing media. It's very possible that this was an inappropriate use of force by law enforcement and in that case it should be condemned and the officer responsile should be held accountable.
The left has been trying to curb too much police force for generations but the 'conservatives' defend it at almost every step. Maybe we could team up on this.

YOU are a fascist.
you just said that you believe trump when he says he thought there was massive fraud in the election. You literally just said that.
