    We should start a strongly worded letter writing campaign. If they don’t respond we’ll get really serious and get on the phones. We might even peacefully protest if it comes down to it.

    For years, prominent voices on the right argued that Democrats were enacting a police state. They labeled everything—a report on homegrown extremism, IRS investigations into nonprofits—a sign of impending authoritarianism.

    Everything from the right is projection.

    They are bad, dishonest , broken, people.

    he’s doing it intentionally to convince the libs that a strong central government is a bad thing and to make everybody demand state’s rights - which is one of the most important requests from republicans.

          Call them unAmerican and take their guns; if they complain, throw them in Alligator Auschwitz

          If someone voices something different than what they want, they label them as communist extremists and create a fake group name like antifa to which they claim they were apart of. Which they already labeled antifa as a terrorist organization, thus giving them the ability to prosecute with no way to prove someone isn’t in antifa, as the group doesn’t really even exist unless it’s 1930s Germany. Whether or not they end up being able prove your guilty, remember Trump during his first term stated he believed in taking away the guns first, and then doing the investigation. Mike Pence had to walk him back on that because it would be unconstitutional.

          According to their fascist dogma, dissent is inherently treasonous, so they won’t need any further justification.

          Also, Wilhoit’s Law applies:

          Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

    Uh, when did the right wing warn about anything? I remember a whole lot of projection because they are the ones that are filled with the antisocial trait known as right wing authoritarianism.

      They’ve always howled about how Democrats are taking away people’s rights and freedoms. As you say, it’s projection.

      Fuck you. It’s not easy. It’s not simple. And we are trying. The united states is fucking huge and the problem is a long time in the making. The game is rigged. There are already more good guys than bad guys, but the bad guys are outmaneuvering us. So either help us, or shut the fuck up.
