It’s pretty obvious after the response they will find or manufacture a “legal” reason to start allowing right wingers to attack and kill anyone they don’t like

There are a lot of piss baby conservatives and liberals in this thread

It is the reichstag fire, in that it was a nazi crime that the Nazis used to get liberals to willingly vote to grant all power to the fuhrer to protect germany. Thats what they mean right? Right???

... yes? why are you implying that he might mean something else?

The State Department has already made an announcement saying that they are going to look at people’s profiles at the point of entry into the country to see if they actually sufficiently grieved Charlie Kirk—which is, of course, a violation of the First Amendment, regardless of whether I personally think that’s inappropriate or not. I’m just simply talking about how ridiculous it is to make this kind of enforcement a priority and how unconstitutional it is.

And it’s very clear that they’re using this as a Reichstag fire moment, very clearly, using this as an opportunity to further persecute and prosecute political dissidents.
