If you don’t take it seriously it will happen to you. Stomp out right wing/conservative crap as fast as possible, and call it out for the lies and destruction it causes.
By starting a civil war? Are you insane?
When the threat is already inside the house, yes, that is an option. Not our first option, for reasons that I hope are obvious, but we would not be the first nor the last country to strike out at fascism within their own borders. If they've entrenched themselves enough that a civil war becomes what is required to oust them, then that is what will happen. That, or else we lose what remains of the shambling corpse of America fully to the fascists.
When they are openly threatening violence against non-supporters, which they already are actively doing, the question simply becomes: will you fight, or will you die? And that question is being asked of every single American right now whether they are listening or not. No fight means that fascism siezes control without being contested. That "fight" takes many forms, including voting, but also up to and including armed violence should it become necessary. And the talking points being regurgitated by my local right wing goons is making armed violence sound alarmingly necessary. As in, armed violence is very likely about to be brought to me and my family and folks like us, and I can either expect it and respond accordingly or I and people I love can get predated upon.
I know which of those I'm choosing when violence knocks down my door. I won't start this fight, but you can be damn sure that I'll finish it. Will you?
You're all raving like madmen
Thanks for pointing it out. All this nibbas need Jesus
That is not even close to what I said, try heading on back to Reddit and jump the shark there. They love it.
You can fight against right wing garbage in many ways. “Stamp it out” is a saying, it doesn’t mean to literally stomp on something. I hope we learned something.
OP is describing the events of a civil war and thats what we're discussing. I don't know what it is you're arguing about though.
I'll ignore the comment about reddit, whatever that has to do with anything ..
I think he's insane
You forgot to have a full Reddit moment and start suggesting I need professional help.
Or, you are probably a MAGA that sees nothing wrong with project 2025. Off to Telegram with you!
I don't think professional help will be effective
There you go! Peak Dunning-Kruger moment, champ.
