Ah yes, because that's definitely related to Kirk.

This incident does not give them cause to do that. I suspect in 2027 there will be indictments handed down for false boat rigging allegations to democratic party members however.
Hey good thing we saved up all that decorum though right!
More like santorum
You can reuse the santorum, it's much more useful.
Why stop there, just make decency a crime.
We're getting so close to being the old German Nazi party. This time controlled by zionists. I wonder who we'll murder?
They’re pretty obviously planning on murdering the homeless, and disabled first. They are planning on putting large amounts of Latinos in concentration camps and are going to start doing the same with political rivals.
They’re pretty obviously planning on murdering the homeless, and disabled first.
And political opposition,dissidents, intellectuals, unionists, critics, wtc.
the nazis copied many of its policies from US segration laws.
Zionists are not controlling the New Nazi Party, that's absurd. Just like the original Nazi party, our New Nazi party are financially supporting Zionists in Palestine because Zionism happens to align with Nazi ideology when it comes to the belief that all Jews should be deported from the US and live somewhere else.
Is that why we're funding the war on gaza and beating up protestor in the Us who says anything against the Israeli governments policies? I dont think your theory matches reality.
Are they actually Zionists or is that just their excuse to steal power? Just kinda feels like they don’t actually care about anyone but themselves.
unpopular opinion: Republicans are using Jews the same way Democrats used trans people - as pawns they pretend to care about, then use as an excuse to attack their opponents. Jews will be left holding the bag, the way trans people were. this is the danger of letting fake allies speak for you.
Jews will be left holding the bag
And it will be their fault. After two years of genocide being committed in the open in their names, they still overwhelmingly support the state of Israel.
And to be clear, while they're happy to use "antisemitism" as a rhetorical tool of suppression, they don't even pretend to care about Jews. They are openly and happily in bed with neo-nazis and white-supremacists, they don't even pretend to care about that. Their pitch is alt-right Christianity where if you send all the Jews to Israel, Jesus will finally come back; what logically follows from that pitch is the eventual targeting of Jews, after the brown people are delt with, for deportation to Israel.
And Israel is 100% on board, they're worried about population size, and they'd love an influx of "refugees", this has always been the goal, with early Zionists working with the Nazis and openly declaring that the antisemites with be their greatest allies.
i wonder
Really?
no not really.
Anyone who isn’t straight, white, and conventionally religious. The only minorities that won’t get murdered will be the “good ones”…until they do.
Hmmm.
They really want political violence. They want it so bad they are forcing the conditions to occur. They just can't accept that people far more rational than them don't need violence.
The next step is forcing all professionals to become members of the party, where the employed, housed, and cared for are members of the party.
The heritage foundation is going full Nazi, and it seems to be ahead of schedule.
This leads me to believe they are well aware of how much power they still lack. And they are getting wary of losing the power they do have. It makes me wonder... What moved up their time table?
It wouldn't happen to be anything that involves a bruise on Trump's hand, posting AI videos of the president saying things, and long suddenly coherent tweets would it? They have a grenade with the pin pulled and if they let go they have a few seconds for it to be anywhere else than where they currently are.
We certainly live in interesting times.
They're pushing the schedule ahead as fast as possible because Trump is literally dying. He probably had a stroke and has obviously been getting infusions. It won't be long before they announce, "he had a bad fall."
This is interesting. I understand the "techno fascist" wing has also stepped things up as their boy is about to take the reins. This is evidenced by the VP moving into high visibility positions and trying to look respectable.
But I wouldn't have any direct knowledge.
honestly i wouldnt be surprised if hes already brain dead in a closet at mar-a-lago already, and they are using his likeness through AI to keep MAGA in power like how the Emperor from 40k keeps warp travel possible, and thus the empire "intact"
When you listen to him speak you can tell it is more often than not off of the teleprompter. He is losing his mind such as it was. He is falling asleep during televised meetings. Back in 2020 he was talking shit off the top of his head, now he is just running on auto dick.
How dare you compare trump to our God emperor. That man has done EVERYTHING for the good of humanity!
How is massively overcharging for plastic miniatures helping humanity?
Clearly you don't understand trickle-down economics.
Just accept that it is the highest good and let the adults talk. We'll buy you some overpriced plastic miniatures to play with. Because we care about humanity.
What plastic miniatures are you talking about? These are my MEN who fight for the glory of MANKIND
I mean, don’t fling us into that thar briar patch.
This is absolutely what they are planning. With the next step being this:
Law Against the Formation of Parties
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_Against_the_Formation_of_Parties
Hey CNN - NO SHIT. You're about 6 months late to the game.
Yeah and doing everything they could do to get Kamala the nomination without challenge did not help either. It does not speak well to their understanding. These are the people calling the shots.
But also like...why when they're basically completely incompetent and just give the facisists what they want?
Why try to remove your most convenient opponent?
Fascism craves power. The mere existence of a second party is a threat to that power, even if it's an unrealized threat. But the potential is still there. Fascism will always seek to create a single-party state for this reason.
Precisely this. Any inkling, any glimmer of potential resistance, is too much. Even unenthusiastic acceptance isn't allowed. You have to stamp out the people who MIGHT POSSIBLY dissent, might possibly not WANT what's happening, to the eventual point that anything other than full-throated praise of what the regime is doing is disallowed.
Itd be better for them if they kept the democratic party around only contained and hobbled, like dems do to the 10-20% of their party who are progressives.
You're almost certainly correct, but fascism doesn't follow logic. It's merely seeks power. Even if giving up the tiniest bit of power would be a better strategy, fascism will eventually try to grab that power back.
Because there will be no other opponent. If they can use kirks murder to make one political party illegal, they can just make all political parties illegal
They have to have an opponent. If fascism doesn't have an enemy to fight, then people start asking for actual solutions to problems. Fascists have no solutions beyond blaming others.
For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle. Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world. But such a “final solution” implies a further era of peace, a Golden Age, which contradicts the principle of permanent war. No fascist leader has ever succeeded in solving this predicament.
- Umberto Eco, Ur-fascisim
The frame of reference here is political enemy, as in political party. Absolutely there will be enemies, and the list of them will get smaller and smaller over time until finally the last fascist kills himself.
This is exactly why I can only laugh and shake my head at the everyday fascists like Connor Estelle who think they will always be in the in-group. Fascism eats society from the outside in until there is nothing left.
Or they're not incompetent and this is all intentional and just more theater to make people believe there is actual opposition in our government.
They're incompetent as fuck. Yes, Democrats are basically running a game of manufactured consent; they're part of the system that allows vigorous debate inside a frame, but you're never allowed to leave the frame.
That's a line of theory that comes from leftists books--Noam Chomsky, in particular. Fascists don't read those books, or even read the hallucinated AI summary of them. They have no clue what so ever that the Democrats are key to propping this whole system up.
The frame is mostly enforced by top donors and the ones that do not want to rock the status quo, namely the Baby Boomers in Congress that are still benefiting from the current status quo.
That’s not to say Democrats wouldn’t fix some or many of the problems, but the very structure of the Federal Government makes positive change a big task. The fact that about half the states have been sold on a lie by the Republican Party contributes greatly to the problem. Republicans can say government doesn’t work, then when they get in office they actually break the institutions. They then point at those institutions they broke and say “See it’s busted!” as they actively had a hand in defunding the system.
Really, I feel the Democratic Party within blue states need to step up and implement the federal positive change they sought, but at the state and local levels instead. The only way Blue states will convince Red states to change at this point is by showing how their progressive policies work for them, and will in-turn work for us.
Namely, Blue states need to be tackling the housing crisis, creating well paying government jobs, investing in healthcare for all programs, providing more public housing options by potentially buying up private apartments, breaking up big monopolies, buy out the energy utilities to provide energy not-for-profit/actually implement energy system upgrades, and even implementing a statewide Universal Basic Income program.

How is this a big deal? It's no different from when we outlawed the KKK, communists (see below), Proud Boys, Satanists, and private militias.
Oh, wait, WE NEVER BANNED ANY OF THOSE GROUPS!
TBF we kind of banned communists for a while but it didn't stick for long and it was mostly affected those that were plotting to overthrow the government, not just self-proclaimed communists.
Oh yay now we can have a broken one party system
Some say we already do.
This is exactly what they've planned since he ran last time. Now they have "justification".
What really needs to be banned is the Nazi party which MAGAts have brought us today.
The democrat party that have nothing to do with this? That party?
Old shitty pants has a screw loose.
