    This is starting to look disturbingly like Germany in the 1930s.

    Indeed it does. And in the US, “Door to Door” operations will probably end up in door-to-door shootings. Both by and of agents - I can understand if someone in a “stand your ground” state shoots some masked idiots who don’t want to identify themselves when breaking in…

    My husband and I made peace that if these goons try to come to our door, we’re both dead and maybe taking one of them with us.

    Especially if they try to break in.

    People are missing the point that trump wants to provoke a violent response, so he can justify imposing martial law and cancelling the elections.

    He’s only going to keep pushing harder until he gets it.

      Which is why we should just have a violent response now. If we don’t we’re just complying in advance. This compliance is why people are in Concentration Camps and Mrs. Good lost her life. We should have violently opposed them from the start. and every day we delay more people are being killed, raped, and enslaved.

        Exactly. They are looking for an excuse for what they are going to do anyway. There’s no incentive for compliance.

        If they are really going to go door to door, there is no possible way they they will all survive. It’s impossible. They are fodder. And honestly, good.

      Violent or not violent they’ll continue to stomp on peoples rights. I’d rather not take it up the ass peacefully once they come to my door.

      If they declare Martial law, I’m comfortable dying at this point because I cannot be abused anymore by this government and it’s lack of usefulness for its people.

        We won’t make it to the next election. That’s the point. Even if we do and he loses, he’ll say it was rigged and ignore it and by then there won’t be enough people left to fight back.

        If there actually is an election, by all means vote, but don’t rely on democracy as the only option you have.

      Same, but I don’t have the resources or connections to move anywhere else. My wife and I don’t have kids to protect, so we’ve been seriously considering just driving out to the desert and ending it.

      Actually, yes.

      I am completely against violent protests. Take a look at my post history; it’s real. Letting protests turn violent is a great way to give even more power to the fascists.

      But jesus fucking christ, if they’re fool enough to take their goddamn goon show on the road and start banging on doors, whatever happens next is on them.

      Or to put it another way, for fascists hell bent on racial purity that’s one unironic way to chlorinate the piss out of the gene pool, I suppose.

          Are you unable to articulate your own thoughts? It can’t be that compelling if you can’t even bring it yourself. Look at you so intellectually helpless you have to fling someone else’s social media at me, like the whole chunk, as though you can’t figure it out.

          If you can, point to the place on the image that is your direct answer to my comment, otherwise it’s just regurge.

          Be sure to include how Charlottesville (Trump’s favorite, where they killed Heather Heyer) was a grand success, and Minneapolis a few years ago (George Floyd) and Portland, etc. Give examples of recent violent protests in the US that have been grand examples of your premise, because we’ve had them, and they are simply not remembered except as the own-goals they are. Or maybe you’re a J-6 fan? Not sure, couldn’t tell from what you didn’t write, lol.

          You’re just a secondhand larper using someone else’s words to provoke other people to fight.

      I can’t, my state has made it nearly impossible for the average citizen to purchase a firearm and there’s now a poll tax I mean racist tax I mean background check fee… Because there’s already a federal background check but now my state patrol does the exact same background check using the exact same database but it takes them weeks longer to process and I still have to pay for it. Anyways probably easier for some fascist to roll in and just take my stuff the way the founding fathers intended.

      Oh and anything with a threaded barrel is banned too so I hope my family is prepared to go deaf if I ever get around to purchasing that firearm.

        There’s not a single state where it’s impossible for you to buy a firearm. At most we’re talking a wait period and maybe a restriction on “assault style” weapons. Which basically means you can buy a hunting rifle with a high capacity chambered in the same rounds. Effectively the same capabilities

            A free online class, passing a background check, and waiting 10 days is not impossible. As of today the only other requirement is being 21.

            Beginning in 2027 you will need a state permit. Which requires nothing new except fingerprinting and a fee ($95). The state then must issue, per the law, the permit in 30 days. This is basically many states concealed carry permit rules.

            So yeah this is not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. A simple Google search even reveals that there are gun stores operating in your state. Crazy to imagine they operate with it being impossible to sell guns.

            Unless you’re under 21 the only thing preventing you from buying a gun is a criminal record, severe mental illness leading to being institutionalized, or laziness.
