The FCC chairman just threatened to pull ABC’s license because of a comment Jimmy Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk, and ABC just indefinitely took him off the air. This is the sort of thing you’d expect in Russia, not America.But let’s back up a minute.First, those who use violence come for the politi...
It’s not over by a long shot. If it was, they wouldn’t give a shit what some late night hosts say. The whole reason they’re so sensitive about criticisms of Charlie Kirk is because even after becoming a martyr, people still find him, and them, repulsive. That scares them.
unfortunately I don’t think so…
I don’t think they actually care about Charlie Kirk at all… half of maga hated kirk. Laura Loomer was bashing kirk while he was alive (obviously for very different reasons than us).
His value to maga just went up massively BECAUSE HE’S DEAD. They’ve wanted to crack down on free speach in the left for ages, but they’ve lacked the right hook. They wanted to do it with Luigi and Brian Thompson… but sadly they realized that average american’s were very familiar with the predatory nature of the health insurance industry, and even brainwashed right wing maniacs have horror stories involving health insurance.
Kirk is a pawn, they aren’t trading their values of free speech to protect Kirk. Removing free speech was their values, and Kirks assassination is an excuse to make it happen. If we gave trump a time machine to go back and save Kirk, he’d absolutely turn down the opportunity.
They aren’t scared at all.
The only thing they have to worry about is pissing off enough people with guns, if enough of their own base infights too much.
… They have most of the guns. In that base, in the military, in ICE.
The rest of this will just follow the literal Nazi playbook.
The law is whatever they say it is, dissent and be jailed, extradited, shot, whatever.
They will soon totally control almost all the media, and reality will become what they say it is, and most people will mostly believe it.
… Unless an organized and disciplined resistance appears… and we all know how great the Dems are at that… then this has a very predictable, very bad ending… just look at history.
It’s also an excuse.
I wish I lived in your reality.
me too, but it’s a reality that’s as divorced from reality as maga
