Woosh.

I know that guy. He’s a fucking troll. I don’t know how he got to be the mod of that community. Seriously.

I mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an ‘enemy’ to be afraid. It’s the reason we’re attacking their rights, not yours, it’s the reason that we’re enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.

Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the ‘other’. It used to be “orientals” and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900’s. Then the blacks, the ‘marihuana’, and communism in the 60’s and 70’s. In the 80’s, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90’s, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000’s. Now it’s the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don’t stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn’t as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It’s all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they’re ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.

In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the ‘welfare queen’, and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new ‘others’ were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.

That would be a beautiful thing… Wouldn’t it?

Major news outlets will not cover the protests. They will happily film the parade though. They will put forth an air of cautious optimism to endear dear leader to their outlet. The only way this gets any MAJOR public attention is if people stop the parade. It will be stopped, there will be a LOT of police action, which will prompt riots, which will prompt more attention. Trump may use it to enact martial law, but he’ll do so at his own detriment. It will not look well at all, but the cancellation of his parade, plus the chaos that will be martial law will only spark more civil discourse throughout the nation.

It’s about to get hairy, folks.

…about the size of a mortar shell.

I don’t know mate. Standing in front of a tank and shutting down down Fat Boy Hitler’s farcical thuper duper birthday parade would be one for the history books. There’s not a farts chance in a hurricane that this doesn’t go down as a comical clusterfuck.

This whole parade is getting shut down, I promise you.

The source is garbage. The news site is rated as being Mixed Factual reporting. They don’t identify who funds them, and they don’t detail their sources.

They are left leaning and primarily lean in to discredit Trump. Trump does a good enough job discrediting himself without the need to fabricate or embelish stories to make him look bad. This “feel good” bullshit is the same sort of stuff that the right does to capture their viewers and feed them “alternative truth”. Be better. Check your sources, and check whether this is reliable information.

This is so fucked. Things are about to get so bad.

Soooo… What are they saying? I don’t have xitter…

Sure. But this isn’t a bump stock. It’s a forced reset trigger that was just unbanned… Which is insane. It essentially converts semi automatic weapons to automatic weapons.

If they are willing to defend facism and defend a dictator…then what’s the problem?

At some point your “I’m just doing my job” becomes, “I support an American dictatorship.”. Do you not have morals? Your “job” has now become antithetical to the American Democratic Ethos - you are now a de facto traitor to your country. Last I checked, traitors are an enemy of the state.

…so again, what’s the problem?

Never in a million years did I think I would be wishing that Yemen is successful in its fight against the Israeli Genocidal Government.

I biased against meth, but also afraid of it as well. Doesn’t mean I’m going to go out of my way to try it and assess whether it’s really as bad as they say. I also won’t try out any poison, random pills I find, or anything I have to inject.

Fear is a healthy thing sometimes, mate.

Van Hollen did the right thing and it should be recognized. It’s time to stand up to this fucking regime in any way we can.

On one hand, this is just goofy Leftist bullshit.

On the other hand, it’s worth understanding the differences between “progressivism” and “liberalism”.

Most “liberals” don’t really understand what “liberalism” is. Most of them are actually “progressives” and just don’t realize it.

Then it’s worth noting the differences between “progressivism” and the absolute looneytoons ideas that “leftists” espouse. I am not okay with the hardcore socialism that they push, or for the absolute civil war that it will require to enact those ideas.

Can you transfer it back afterwards?

We’re going to protest the fuck out of this. This is our Tiananmen Square.

This parade WILL NOT happen…

I just had a talk with my wife about this as well. Do we pull it, knowing that it’ll get hit with the 10% fee. But then put it back in after the market is absolutely crash? Like…I’m assuming it’s going to get a lot worse …

Thine eyes struggle to measure the shear size of your audacious bullshit.
