As long as they think fascism will only hurt the people they want hurt, they will go right along. By the time they realize their mistake it will be too late.
If they realize their mistake.
The policies of their overlords will begin to bite them and they’ll still blame someone else.
They’ll say it would be worse with a Democrat.

Ah, makes me take a trip down memory lane.

We need guns to fucking deal with them AND the tyrannical government they’re imposing. 🤦
They will be so upset when dictator Trump bans guns.
As long as the guns are “pointed” at woke warriors, terrifying trannies, and murderous migrants there’s no need to take the guns.
It’s this. Remember Trump knows this cult member wouldn’t hurt HIM.
Trump knew crowd at rally was armed yet demanded they be allowed to march
Trump said: “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here, let the people in and take the mags away.”
They defend his comment about taking the guns first and due process second.
“Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.” - Herbert Spencer
Okay, this quote may be fine, but let’s not pretend Herbert Spencer wasn’t an advocate of a lot of bad ideas.
Remember… Your conservative friends and family will politely wave as they watch you escorted away to be “re-educated”.
Your conservative family, neighbors and co-workers do not value your life the way you value theirs. They are simply not capable of that. Empathy is not a conservative trait. It never has been.
I have no fucking clue why you have so many upvotes. This is provably false.
To the extent that a person’s conservative friend or family is a Trump supporter, then maybe you have a point. But Trump’s political support is as varied as Biden’s. That is, I don’t particularly like Biden, but I’ll vote for him again. Similarly, conservatives that reluctantly support Trump, of which there are many, shouldn’t be disparaged as lacking empathy in the same way gung-ho Trump supporters are.
We should pick one candidate to all vote for in the Republican primaries.
There’s no Democratic primaries this year and we’re stuck with Biden. We don’t have to be stuck with Trump as his opponent. If someone else wins the Republican primary, Trump will run as a third party candidate and split the fascist vote.
And it doesn’t matter which one. Any non-Trump nominee will drag down Trump and vice versa. I’d suggest whoever comes in second in Iowa, just because they’re the most likely to have any momentum at all.
I agree. I think every single non-Trumper in this country should vote for Chris Christie in the primary. He is the least dangerous candidate, it will piss off Trump the most if Christie is the nominee, and you can guarantee it will mean a third party run for Trump. Seems like a net win all around.
Can you imagine the pucker and about-face the Republican party would have to do if CC were the nominee?
Edit: I’ll do it. It’s legal in Michigan and I’m an independent anyway, allowed to vote in either primary I choose. Why shouldn’t I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
It would be truly glorious to watch all these ball-coddlers have to tuck tail and try to save their own asses from their knuckle-dragging constituents.
Why shouldn’t I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
I mean… you absolutely should! Not even just to “sabotage” Trump. That’s just a good idea in general.
Honestly, it’s pretty fucked up that chris christie is the “sane” vote for “sane “ conservatives.
Like he’s not exactly a paragon of integrity, or good governance.
It’s for sure a low bar to clear
Some (many?) states have closed Republican primaries. In the states you can only participate if you are a registered republican.
Which is exactly why I’m registered as Republican.
So then just register as a Republican and vote.
It’s funny that more people don’t realize that’s what they should do. If you’re going to be lead by a person from party X, Y or Z, you should go and choose who that person will be for all parties (if you can) so that you at least tried to get the person you prefer no matter who gets elected.

Yes!!! Been saying this for a long time. In a two party system, the power of we the people is in deciding which primary to vote in. If we defeat Trump in the primaries we defeat him period.
No, but you see, they’re just “economically anxious”, not literal fascists. /s
Ship them off with trump to some other land
They don’t want to be ruled by him. They want him to be cruel to everyone else. Without the everyone else, they don’t really have much use for him.
I’ll never forget that Trump supporter complaining that “he’s hurting the wrong people” during his administration
Better idea- send them to Florida or Texas and build a “big, beautiful wall” between them and the rest of the U.S.
And make them pay for it.
Trump is already in Florida. Just saying.
Also, the nicknames for the wall practically write themselves
Yeah… Hell.
To the russian front, where they belong.

We could give them Palestine.
Send them with a white flag
This is how we get Nazi 2.0.
This is the third time Conservatives have done this, it fails every time. Though they did get their own Confederacy once.
Sheep often need to be led. Even if, no- especially when… it’s to the slaughterhouse.
Does this mean they raised their right hands in a salute?
Wie wahre Patrioten!
Have we tried talking to these people? Perhaps in a diner setting, that would be good
I volunteer you
Believe they’re making a joke. It’s an annual tradition for Very Important Liberal Journalists to do that in the run-up to every election year, where they write a puff piece and wax poetic about how they had waffles with some rural Republicans and they’re Really Just Sensible People because They Were Nice To Me.
Obviously, this misses the fact that being nice to someone personally means jack fucking shit about what policy or politics you support. Plenty of fascists are polite to you face-to-face - that doesn’t mean they’re anything resembling good citizens.
As a progressive who grew up in a very conservative area, I know this way too well. Plenty of people who are sweet and kind and polite to you, but will casually drop the N-bomb in conversation and talk about how ‘those people’ need to be ‘kicked out’ or how they wish they were at the border, where they’d ‘shoot all the illegals coming over, not even kidding’.
They should send a black trans journalist to do it to see how nice they are.
Gordon Ramsay was in some documentary in the deep south and thought the people were nice until they started dropping N bombs. (Iirc) Racist are weird.
Ahhh. Read as a joke, I see what you’re saying. Right over my head! Thanks also for that lengthy explanation! You’re a peach
The republican traitor filth must be held to account and brought under the heel of the law.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A video has circulated online Saturday showing supporters of former President Donald Trump cheering the idea of him acting like a “dictator” on day one if he’s reelected next year.
During the event, Hannity pressed Trump to pledge that he would never “abuse power as retribution against anybody,” as had been suggested in recent reports.
The comment comes in the wake of reporting from various outlets, including The New York Times, claiming that the former president and his allies are planning broad applications of presidential power should Trump win the 2024 election, including mass deportations, stocking federal agencies with loyalists, and using force to quash protests against him.
These reports, along with the town hall comments, have renewed concerns about Trump’s potentially authoritarian aspirations and the dangers of reelecting him.
On Saturday, the PatriotTakes account on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, shared a clip from outside a Trump rally in New Hampshire, in which a host asks several gathered supporters, “How many people here support Day One Dictator?”
Trump is currently the favorite to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination by a significant margin.

We need to make a list of these sycophants so when we are in the clean-up phase of this shit show we can guarantee these ideals won’t rise to the surface ever again. These sick fuckers are monsters, let them have the fate of monsters.
