In a set of fascistic speeches on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House power broker Stephen Miller, and other top Trump administration officials labelled the political left as a “terrorist” threat and vowed to use all of the tools at their disposal to systematically destroy left-wing groups. Representatives from 67 countries gathered in the U.S. on Thursday for a meeting…

I thought Miller was a beer, but apparently it’s also a “White House Deputy Chief of Staff”, whatever that is. What does that person do? It sounds like a glorified HR title for an insecure person.
“Fascistic” means like fascism. This isn’t like fascism, it is fascism.
I think a lot of people assume we have to be at full blown Nazi genocide before “fascism” or “fascist” can be reasonably used.
Nope.
It’s fascism now. Already. Currently happening. Here in America. Now.
We just haven’t reached the apex…yet.
These loser fascists are so devoid of talent that it appears they’re just scraping the internet for what we say about them then turning it around to fit their narrative.
We’ve been calling conservatism a cancer for YEARS and he’s just using our own words as theirs.
As always, conservatives/regressives have no talent or creativity. They can only steal what others create or simply destroy.
If this nation actually brings justice back we’ll see this fascist on the chopping block.
What confuses me about this administration is that they seem to be aiming to make any political belief or action that does not support them worthy of a lengthy prison sentence.
… but [REDACTED] is also a lengthy prison sentence. So they’ve removed the incentive to not [REDACTED].
In other words… why design a system where your opponents have nothing to lose? They will be pushed towards acting like they have nothing to lose.
Not confusing at all, they have built an enormous police, secret police full of chuds. They want things to escalate.
Because they want an excuse to implement martial law that their base will accept. An “enemy within” that turns violent is exactly the pretense they’re stoking for this, even if it’s obvious they invented everything that caused it.
I see this sentiment a little more frequently than I see the following that I’ll paraphrase:
“They’re doing this to egg on a response [so we should not give them what they want by pushing back]” is an accidental or intentional PsyOp campaign.
If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?
It’s an incredibly effective PsyOp when arguably the largest downside of anti-MAGA people is their rampant apathy, and that sentiment is like gasoline to a fire. “Oh, the enlightened response is to stay home like I did in 2024? Sick.”
If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?
Nah, but we should wait until we know a democratic method (voting) won’t work to remove the fascists. Once we cross that line, then we can resort to the actual fighting back.
Because the best case scenario here is that they want us to actually fight back so they can impose martial law, but we don’t, then we win by voting them out without any widespread violence and they never got to play their martial law card.
If it doesn’t work, and we realize they’ve corrupted the electoral process and stolen an election, then we grab our pitchforks (guns) and properly do what a bunch of inbred redneck traitors failed to do on Jan 6, because they’re stupid and of course they didn’t have any semblence of an actual plan.
“We should wait until it is too late. That will be the perfect time to act. Just a little longer…”
Okay, if you say so. Again, accidental or intentional PsyOp.
That’s exactly what they want. If they have nothing to lose, they fight back, then the right can point at that and use it as confirmation of their originally bullshit claims. Fascism 101.

Our legal systems don’t work. Our jury trials don’t work
Oh boy.
100% fascist projection.
A great example of accusation in the mirror technique from alt right play book.
We all know which group is more similiar to an opportunistic organism that tries to forcefully spread everywhere, even at the expense of every other being in the system.
It’s just a new/different version of the tired trope that the black kid in the hoodie is dangerous- BE SCARED OF THE BLACK KID IN THE HOODIE !!!
Yet it is almost always the white man in the suit that is going to either rob you or kill you.
As usual, it’s projection. He knows the real cancer is his own group.
Sadly ironic, considering that I think I’ve already seen this meme before. :(
It’s actually an original of mine. I used it so often, i can’t even remember on which platform i used it first… Recently i updated it with the Italian flag.
Let’s emphasize the fact that he is not saying people who march around carrying rifles and machine guns intimidating Americans in their hometowns. Nor is he talking about people who commit mass shootings. Or people who pollute the air, water, and soil that we need to survive. No, it is people with left wing and liberal ideology, people using their freedom of speech.
Fucking evil. I hate everybody who voted for this and everybody who didn’t bother to vote.
and the republican-lite crowd who never made fighting this an sort of priorirty while they committed genocide, you hate them too right.
Fuck off, we don’t need this “both sides same” crap in every single discussion.
No, because I’m not a dipshit that needs to both sides this.
Because even if I hadn’t been paying attention to both parties for 20+ years and knew beyond question that one party was way, way, way , way, way, way, way more capable and willing to vote in favor of average Americans, I still wouldn’t be stupid enough to both sides this because one side is just so obviously better than the other, and in the current political climate, and for the foreseeable future, one of those two sides will be in power at any given time.
TL;DR - Take this trash both sides garbage to a platform stupid enough to fall for it.
What Soggy said.
I really hope liberals understand that when he says “leftists”, he means you too. Fascism doesn’t stop until people stop it, and it’s usually not with votes.
Actually, what’s happening right now in the US would indeed have been stopped with votes. You don’t vote to make the perfect world, you vote to minimize the damage. You can do all those other things that you imagine are more impactful the other 364 days of the year in addition.
It’s a unique talent to project from a skull that so readily lends itself to being a target.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
If you don’t like what they do you are left wing. Pretty simple concept for really simple minds like theirs.
Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary and essential action of formally recognizing left-wing violence as a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat to our national security and survival of our republican form of government,
Oddly telling how he doesn’t say “a threat to our democracy”.
left-wing violence
Isn’t it interesting how they never give actual examples when they say shit like this? You’d think it would be trivial since it’s such a pressing issue.
Just for perspective, I learned in American public school in the 1990s that the US is a democratic republic, not a democracy. This is correct, even though these rectal tumors are weaponizing it.
A democratic Republic is a democracy though…
No I dont think it is. How often does what the people want happen in congress? like 0-1% of the time right? studies have shown this. We all need to stop pretending this is a school house rock episode. Neither political party cares about their voters issues. This is not a democracy. We are ruled by people accountable to rich donors, and thats that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_republic
A Democratic Republic is a form of democracy, by definition.
You can argue that the US is no longer operating as a democratic republic, you can’t argue that a democratic republic is not a democracy.
