Imagine being religious & equating your savior in any way to Hitler & Trump.

This is so indicative of the christian dominionism nationalist flavor of the overall fairytale.

It’s pathetic, yet tens of millions of mental deficients think exactly this in this country.

also remember they were raising a giant cross and gallows for pence at the capitol insurrection, i'm betting this is the mainstream opinion/belief of a lot of Trump-Conservatives, especially in the online spheres.

A fascist take over of the state, backed by christian doctrine, under the guise of stopping "communists and socialists" rigging elections.

The greatest hits do tend to repeat. :lol:

Fascism has always existed in this country in some form since the 30s, but it had been more secular & less caustic.

This current iteration of fashy definitely embraces the Lewis / Long definition of such.

1/6 could very well have been our Kristallnacht. Frightening to think what it might actually be.

There’s a few passages in William Shirer’s “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” that would absolutely still work I’d you just swapped out the nouns.

SOME RIGHT-WING TROOPS FIND THEMSELVES TARGETED BY THEIR OWN WAR MACHINE

https://theintercept.com/2021/04/25/capitol-riot-militant-right-counterterrorism/

To Hawkeye, the implications were apparent: Calling someone an insurgent or terrorist implied permission to marginalize him, strip him of his rights, detain him, hunt him, and kill him. He’d done this himself to people tagged with those labels overseas. “When I think terrorist,” he told me, “I think, take your ass to Gitmo, and that’s where you belong.”

Now he was finding himself on the other end of it. “America has always had a boogeyman,” he said. “At one point it was Germany, then it became Korea, then it became Russia, and then all of a sudden it’s Middle Easterners.” As he sensed the government’s sights turning his way, he was stripping his social media accounts of political references and being careful about what he said. “I’m posting nothing but cat videos and family reunions. I’m trying to mitigate as much as possible.”
It's a very "both sides" kind of article which lets it down but otherwise a decent read.

This quote by the active US Army Reserve member got a chuckle out of me...
“He’d never been in a militant group but sympathized with the ideology of the Three Percenters and Oath Keepers and was lamenting that “there’s no separation between an opinion and a human being anymore”

Lots of folks overseas would be having the “you don’t say!” Nicholas Cage meme face of theyd heard him say that.

This smacks of someone who consciously chose the military after high school, but denigrates those who need social safety nets in their lives.

Takes oath to defend the constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Doesn't understand actions make them a domestic enemy

we are fecked and we mostly deserve it. This country is half made up of racist, evil people who care for nothing but their own perceived power and non existent prosperity. As long as there is a Republican Party (as it currently exists) in this country it is not something worth saving.

What’s left, OANN?

I’m sure there’s lawsuits against them. What happens when they settle & apologize?

Yep, she had no idea the cop was there with his gun drawn. Sure she didn’t.

Bailey has his gun drawn for at least 45 seconds before she decided to climb through the window. He was clearly visible through a virtually completely windowed wall. There were also multiple screams about his gun being drawn 20 seconds before she climbed into the aperture from rioters no more than 20 feet away from the idiot.

At least they finally admit she was verbally told not to climb through the opening.

Hilarious to think that wasn’t a justified shooting.
