Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.

I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.

America needs to hire the French to do their revolution for them.

France used me to undermine their British enemy and all I got was this lousy tshirt statue.

They feel protected because they think a violent populist reaction will be a few more lone actors.

And as long as Dems keep pushing the “violence is bad and what he wants, just vote and primary people” narrative it will be.

Well, the Dems are sort of right, violence is bad, and it is exactly what the fascists want, but it's also the only way that oligarchs have ever been removed from power. They never go willingly.

Violence is a tool, one they want only for themselves to use against the people to maintain their power.

Sadly for them, you can't stop desperate people from getting violent no matter how many laws you make or civil liberties you gut.

Its a tale as old as the human race: take too much from everyone, and they'll eventually burn it down so everyone gets nothing and we try again.

France would protect the pedophile culture. Might want a different example.

That's why it is FREE speech, you need to get the PRO speech plan, it's only 19.99 a month and you get all the FREE speech perks + one extra slur a month!

It has to be the slur of which you stereotype is most likely to say (except if it is woke, in that case it will be replaced with a random slur from the top 10 most popular approved slurs)

Chocolate box?

What does that mean? I associate Idaho with bad potatoes, but I think I lack the rest of the context.

Idaho is deep in right wing militia wack job territory. Remember Ruby Ridge? Idaho.

No idea about Ruby Ridge (will Google this later) also, no idea about anything else about Idaho other than bad potatoes.

I think you have a misunderstanding of why Ruby Ridge and Waco are associated with each other.

It's not because of the religious wackos, though accurate, it's because they were 2 instances of the federal government murdering a bunch of children and close in time to eachother.

You should read up more on Ruby Ridge, I don't think it makes the point you think it does.

It's isolated forest and mountains. There's along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.

Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it's police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.

It always was.
But it was supposed to be declining as society improved.
But either society didn't improve because fascism and selfishness didn't decline, or else it's the other way around.
Because it seems to be getting shittier on both counts. But AFAIK it was never so much out in the open as it is now.

Most people think the Supreme Court will always act like the Warren Court when in reality, with the exception of those 20 or so years, it's been nothing but reactionary and conservative at best. Dredd Scott anyone?

Okay... So from what I read, they sat in front of the bus to keep people from being shipped to a detention center. A fairly peaceful action.

So if that's no longer allowed, guess then you might as well storm the bus, kill all the ICE and then drive it to Canada or Mexico.

Imagine genz and Millenials rioting. We’d probably get tired mid fight and need gaming breaks.

Yes! All I want is to be loved 😭💗...you're alright too, I just played like booty in this pinball tournament and I lashed out at you. Two bowls and one patty melt later and I'm doing much better.
