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.

Just the “liberal” guns, at first…

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.

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

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

And once they eliminate the out-group it will never be them who is the new out-group.

I know I just don’t see that going well. Especially since all the no limits on gun ownership rhetoric from the last 20 years

Maga dipshits have proven time and again they don't care about what stance they held yesterday if they're told to think otherwise today.

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.

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.

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.

So excited to see you out there shooting up fascists and not online posting bullshit about how Noone is doing anything to stop it. Go do it asshole be the change you want to see
