Congratulations no-voters. You brought Israel to America.
Do you always blindly consume right wing propaganda?
The right wing doesn’t live in reality and neither do you.
It should be thank you to the non voters. They have merely removed the veneer of morality and democracy from the face of US.
Remember the snipers in college sent by Biden against students participating in Anti-Israel protests.
Thank you so fucking much.
You can’t enable atrocities abroad without them coming home to roost. Congrats to all US voters of the last 250 years.
I think it’s about time the press and protesters start showing up strapped. These people clearly don’t have any fear and are just power tripping on people for simply being there. Put the fear of God back into these pigs.
The people of sh.it.just.works and Lemmy.world both loved to try and act like I was out of line for calling for open carry the other night. Unfortunately California state law doesn’t allow for it. I think that it’s the only way to get them to back off with the Marines, the National Guard and with ICE though. If they’re not going to be afraid of us then they’re never going to change and the people saying “don’t give them a reason to escalate” will keep saying that up to the first battles at which point they’ll run and cower.
Fun fact, the real wave of gun restrictions started with the Black Panthers open carrying in California back in in the 60s.

That led to the Mulford Act:
The state law made by fucking Reagan and should thusly be ignored.
Completely agree. We should have gotten rid of the law. It was born out of racism and restricts our rights in Cali.
Escalation to violence is exactly what they want. It gives them all the justification they need to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and suspend your Constitutional rights. And not just in California.
Problem is the situation won’t improve without an escalation
Californians have a right to defend themselves
Protesters urged not to give trump administration pretext for what it is already doing
edit: Oh, what the hell. Let’s add a snippet.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they’re already doing and will keep doing no matter what. “Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end,” said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened.
That’s an Onion article. You can tell because Trump hasn’t been shooting protesters for months already. That’s what comes next. And that’s when it stops being a protest, and turns into a civil war.
Don’t be so eager to make that happen.
He’s already ordered soldiers in, who have shot journalists and protestors
That was the police that shot them. Not soldiers.
Why would I reject the good timeline where the fascist superpower has a civil war instead of destroying the world?
If you’ve already decided that you want a civil war, then Trump doesn’t need to find an excuse. You’re going to force his hand. And any possibility that those soldiers might be on your side, disappears.
Fucking lol
Something tells me you’d be right there with them
It’s looking pretty inevitable at this point.
Where does the goal post moving stop? It’s not an escalation of violence if you don’t use it. It’s a threat to escalate to violence. If they aren’t afraid of you then they’re not going to change.
When they declare martial law are you going to be saying the same thing and hoping by just chanting loudly you change their mind?
I didn’t say start blasting. Right wingers show up strapped all the time showing they mean business and are given plenty of space as a consequence. The cops can do the same for other Americans. If they can’t then it shows the public that it was never about individual rights and all about allowing one group they favor to get away with it.
So what? Do you just watch until you’re being herded into concentration camps anyway? This is the first instance of effective resistance to Trump (the April parades don’t count) since January and they’re calling in the Marines already. This was simply never going to end peacefully, because any effective act of mass resistance was going to be suppressed violently; avoiding escalation means avoiding resistance.
Resistance doesn’t have to include escalation. Leave that to them…they are going to escalate anyway. If the protesters are the ones doing it, then they just handed Trump exactly what he wants…a legal justification for his actions.
You’re not wrong but you’re on the wrong instance if your solution isn’t just ‘hold hands and vote for black trump with a d next to their name next election’.
Are you OK?
Not helpful
Uncomfortable truth: violence has solved some of the largest issues across the history of humanity.
All, all of the big issues.
yeah its also created some of the biggest problems
all wars, all genocides ect, that’s pretty bad stuff
“ALCARAZ”?
What is Alcaraz?
Reporter Ruben Salazar March 3, 1928 – August 29, 1970. Murdered by the LASD.
During the march, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy Thomas Wilson struck and immediately killed Salazar with a tear-gas projectile. No criminal charge was filed, but Salazar’s family reached an out-of-court financial settlement with the county.
Classic USA
Sounds Israel and Russia. Trump has been studying hard and taking out the journos is the first step.
Trump hasn’t studied shit. His enablers and handlers have, though.
Exactly. You’re out of your mind if you think taco is sitting at a desk writing executive orders before signing them. The fucking project 2025 people he has in the white house are doing exactly what they’ve been saying they’ll do. Taco just rubber stamps it and blathers on social media.
