I'm starting to feel like America is about to blow up into a civil war real soon. Add this to the Florida sheriff threatening to kill protesters, and yeah...
Yep. I got an adrenaline rush when I read this and it hasn't quite dissipated yet. My heart rate is still elevated, and I have the distinct feeling that my nervous system is expecting a civil war, even if my brain isn't quite there yet.
Agreed with you 100% I’m currently at my job I work in the mining industry and my town is only about 4000 people and 99.9% of them are trump supporters and the news of these murders have sent these people into a joyous state. They have been happily talking about it like it’s a good thing and are hoping more happen. I’ve been beyond mad and upset since Jan 6 and now I feel like my soul left my body for a few mins.
stay safe bud
Thanks, you too bro love and respect.
That's just... insane. It seems like having a strong sense of empathy is such a weakness these days. I wouldn't have celebrated the murder of Republican congresspeople, nor would I have thought that your townspeople would celebrate this. Well meaning people just aren't equipped to handle what's happening, but I imagine our lizard brains will catch us up quickly, hence the adrenaline.
Be careful.
I will be careful, you too love and respect.
You keep yourself safe. That's an awful high ratio of wackos.
Yes I will be as safe as I can be, you too.
JFC I would have flipped my shit a long time ago. Stay safe.
The best thing I do is just ignore them and do my job. It doesn’t fix the problem though.
I'm a Norwegian living in rural Denmark. There are people at my work with 3D printed Trump mugs and statues on their desk, and one of them wears a MAGAt cap. In Denmark It's fucking infuriating for me, I can't imagine how it is for got! I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. Stay safe, friend!
Thank you, love and respect to you stay safe too.
Like they did when Pelosi’s husband was attacked.
Yep exactly, I was also working on Jan 6 and that day was an emotional experience. Everyone at my job was running around like a kid on Christmas Day yelling with big smiles on there faces.
“Bloodless if the left allows it.”
I had my money on it in 2020 with redneck BLM "counter protestors" showing up with guns starting the show. No way this doesn't go to civil war. It'll be Vietnam though because the fascists control the federal apparatus.
I found an update on the assassin. He's an Afrikaner mercenary 💀 https://bsky.app/profile/chadloder.bsky.social/post/3lrlka4qsqs2q
Could someone with a bluesky account please post a screenshot?
Here you go!
That already happened. It’s a hot war and has been for months.
Told my son this was coming and why we were staying home today. Wish I was wrong more often.
but.... you were wrong? There were hundreds of thousands protesting today, very small amount of turmoil. You would be more statistically likely to get hurt playing any type of sports or exercising at this point. Some people aren't safe just "staying home" with ICE and authoritarian raids, make sure your son knows that you're privileged to be able to feel that way.
You have kids?
Downvotes and .ml - take that as a no
If they haven’t caught the person, how can they say “impersonating” an officer? They’re top of the list of murders in the USofHeyyyy.
Someone dressed up as cop, armed as cop, and driving a cop car is clearly three ducks in a cop uniform. /s
They got a look at him. It may have been obvious that he was not wearing a real uniform. But you're right, he could have been a cop pretending to impersonate an officer to throw us off his tracks.
Everyone was afraid of dhs or ice coming for them, but get ready for more of this. I won't be surprised when they start going door to door and there are bodies piled up in the streets.
Remember the death squads and camps they’ve been screaming about the liberals using for years? Every accusation is a confession.
Construction companies were advertising the prison complexes they can build at the most recent Border Patrol Expo in Phoenix, AZ this year. There was also a company advertising crematoriums.
The first paragraph of the article. Fuck the for-profit media. But Tim Walz is calling it what it is
This will give another reason for trump to deploy troops. He might have not deployed to Minnesota. But this basically guarantees he will deploy troops in Minnesota.
He has not talked about this at all today. Probably secretly approves of it.
Nobody on Truth Social has brought it to his attention.
Or approved it.
The other scary idea is trump using this to deploy federal military "security" with every senator/government representative. A few troops just waiting on the order 66 call
Kinda scary cause this sounds pretty realistic =(
Minnesota was already on his list, and I imagine you're right. I wonder how they'll spin these murders, considering it's their people pulling the triggers. I wouldn't be surprised if the police uniforms the shooters used were given to them by actual cops. Minnesota has a long history of corrupt law enforcement.
Per rule 4: Can you please update the post title to match that of the source article? Thanks.
Done. My bad!
Thanks!
Stay safe today people
Ft. Sumter vibes
Is the writer high or IA? The article is unreadable or is there some trick I didn't get? WTF I barely understood that a tall man was suspect and that's all.
If the wording is so bad, presume it is AI written.
It’s time to leave .world communities. They are explicitly pro-fascist.
