I have never in my life heard more open discussion about assassinating American politicians. High school teachers, waitresses, pharmacists, bank tellers, bartenders. Everybody’s saying it.

Many hands make light work, it will require a bit of coordination though and anybody can be a fed, so that is probably the reason it is slow to happen. That won't be enough to stop it forever though.
Trump and his cabinet are shit politicians and worse people. Many people are saying this. Big, strong men, with tears in their eyes, discussing the merits of .338 Lapua vs .50 BMG. (Obviously .50 cal is superior).
That’s actually who’s most likely to try it. Don’t forget, he made certain promises about what he was going to do that he cannot possibly keep. He also handed everything over to a wack job billionaire (whom many MAGA types loathe). He has a lot of disappointed fans. Most of whom are armed. So…
I mean Elmo is going around wearing Kevlar vests under his clothes and he has good reason to. There’s a lot of people in this country who think nothing of expressing their anger with firearms and they’re not terribly picky about who they aim at. It’s not something I am proud or supportive of, but…
…this is reality in this country. Which is why I expect violence somewhere down the line. We as a nation certainly don’t do much to prevent it. And the oligarchs have already shown that they’re foolish enough to think their resources can shield them from it.
Assassination is the worst possible way for Trump to go. Besides igniting revenge bloodlust in MAGA, it would impel the GOP to 'cement his legacy', assisted by far to many Democratic leaders
I disagree. Historically what we have seen in regimes and movements like this is that the power vacuum that exists when the head is removed is too much for an otherwise fractured conglomerate to control and the bubble bursts pretty quick.
From the killing of Captain Cook, to the storming of the Bastille, to the lynching and murder of Mussolini, when people have collectively had enough then all it takes is for one person to break the dam and take action.
The question is, who's going to be that one person?
Kid-friendly YouTubers have been telling the old Soviet joke about the man who would look at the front page of the newspaper and then leave without buying it. One day the newspaper seller asked what he was looking for. 1/
The homeless man between shooters on the bus last night, “congress ain’t dealing with it and so someone needs to assassinate him”. Was not expecting that commentary!
forreal. Gut shots are painful slow deaths. He would go from sepsis after dwindling down to nothing. (former emergency room nurse… only partially a psycho)
I prefer carnation revolution and a Portuguese constitution to pave the way for a socialist free and fraternal society. (Drags herself saying with a dry old carnation in hand)🇵🇹
Societal/political change cannot be brought forth by an individual. Historically, it has always been a collective effort. And that meme people are arguing about is abhorrent for multiple reasons including this one that inspired it.
Oh of course. That explains why Gavrilo Princip shooting Franz Ferdinand didn't have any broader effect on geopolitics. You'd have expected it to, but he was an individual, and individuals never bring about change.
Im not eager for it myself. But I see it as necessary regardless of who won. Neoliberals like the clintons, Obama and even Biden hekped pave the way for the likes of a fascist like Trump.
Obama even signed the NDAA that allowed the indefinite detention of US citizens.
Maybe try general strikes first :P but I think if anyone does it, it will be an out of work Maga voter. They have the guns and they will get absolutely screwed by the dumbest tariff war in history.
Truck drivers will be hurting pretty bad in another couple weeks. Ma & Pa shops too.
I’ve heard a lot of very open talk about it too. The main issue is the maga ideology will continue. Some of these folks are so gone on it, they will die because of this administration and still defend it with their last breath.
My own mother said something to that effect the other day. At 78 y/o, I had never heard her wish harm on anyone, plus she’s an OG Christian to boot (not that maga hijacked Christianity, but the love-everyone-and-feed-the-poor type Christian).
I was taken back. like damn, mom, that was hard AF.
I don’t care how or why it ends but the Mad Orange King’s reign of terror does need to be over now - 🌎🌱the world’s future generations deserve better than to have to clean this shit up for the rest of their lives
You can just say “someone should do the thing” and people will immediately know what you’re talking about. That’s how collectively it’s on all our minds
in fairness, this is what like 50% of republicans are like every time they see a democrat, it's just that now we have normal americans who aren't brainwashed klansman zombies thinking it
While I'm all for collective action to properly resolve a crisis like this, what really astounds me is how deep the institutional rot has to be for not a single person on rhe inside whose belief in the doctrines of checks and balances has yet been willing sacrifice themselves to "do the thing".
The corruption is bigger than one puppet, and he temporarily has delusional loyalists surrounding him. In-fighting.

I agree that it would not fix the problem. This admin is working from a position that has been set in place by changes in norms and legislation going back decades at least. But when it is unpopular as it is now it is unlikely to emerge unscathed from the CIC departing the stage
Based on my own politics I want way more than a change of administrations. But I can't be the only one who sees the necessity of triage given what is happening right now, regardless of how radical or moderate their political perspective.
I’m pretty sure the secret service has their hands pretty full these days. Between the threats both spoken and inferred, and the fake assassinations they must be busy.
It would be a shame if someone were to act on all this talk. Real shame. It would be a big shame. I would be ashame if someone were to act on this kinda talk. Big, big ashame.
That kid will probably inherit a decent chunk of money. Him and his gold digger mother will be set. I guarantee they're rooting for it more than any of us.
What I'm sick of is all the non-firearms owners snide comments like "So much for the 2a" or something similar from European people...do they know how much security they have? The surveillance state we got going on? HOW BIG A DEAL IT IS TO SHOOT SOMEONE?!?
I built a AR15, working on my handgun license and I dread ever having to point them at another human let alone pull the trigger. (It's on the bottom of the list past don't be there, leave, talk, pepper spray)
Its vital to understand that this is what happens when you dont put fascists in prison when they try to overthrow your government. Democracy is an or statement. Either people guide the law OR we kill the enemies of democracy. Civility is a compromise ignore it and we have no insentive to play by it.
Parliamentary systems have votes of no confidence. America has the second amendment.
I would prefer the former, but you are right and it is absolutely WILD how commonly and casually mentioned the latter is in my very normie, upper middle class circles.
since like late january, the talk from run of the mill everyday ppl from all walks of life about wanting the ppl running the government to die has been wild
In the past 7 days I've heard the exact same thing from:
Research Chemists,
Nuclear Engineers,
Nurses,
Overnight Disc Jockeys,
Exotic Dancers,
Veterinarians,
Casino Dealers
Accountants,
Auto Mechanics,
and my parrot, Corky.
So many times,at the end of my patient visits,they’ll sigh,shake their heads,and just say,” why doesn’t someone just SHOOT the fucker?!?!” From 18 yo to 80 yos. “ amazing.
Neither of them have the support of the cult zombies so the GOP, like terrified Sen. Murkowski, would stand up to them if they did take the presidency.
MAGA thuggery is the power that keeps the Republicans in Congress from exercising their legitimate power as checks against the executive abuse.
A few years ago (prior to 2021), my grandma had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The paramedics asked basic questions to judge awareness like "What's your name, do you know what day it is?" They said they used to ask "who's the president?" but stopped because it just made patients angry.
Indeed. This is what makes America different from just about every other country that currently has an autocracy. Those who would try to implement one here would be well advised to consider that difference.
I mean, don't they have access to everything we've ever made public, been doxxed about, or had algorithms hypothesize about us anyway?
Whole tech sphere is a fucktastrophe of nonconsent
Technically, yes, but these people are as lazy as they are evil. To the point where they kidnap the wrong people to throw into torture prison and they’re like “eh, close enough”.
That feels like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Might as well aim for a half-decent outcome then, if you're at high risk regardless of your choices.
They're going to throw everyone who opposes king cheeto into a foreign concentration camp. What the hell do we have to lose at this point? They already have our voting records. Might as well live your truth while you can still live.
Lady at my last work meeting told me she was reading a book about the collapse of empires when we were talking about if the kids will have a chance to go to college.
an employee at (I shall not name) the grocery store last night almost said it out loud and literally bit her cheek to stop. She then whispered, "It's not going to be pretty, but something has to be done." And then resumed slamming cans of soup on the shelf. The dents latetly make sense now.
Mostly they go to food banks. Defaced branding renders most products unsellable, too, so be careful with your sharpie when walking down the aisles at the grocery. 🙃
I buy most of my groceries from an open-to-the-public food surplus warehouse. Most of the cans in my pantry look like they've been on the battlefield. "They've SEEN things, MAN!"
I remember during Trump's first term I overheard a cashier in a game shop I used to frequent saying where customers could hear that if he ever met Steve Bannon he'd probably kill him
dude was in full view of the crowd for 90 minutes with his assault rifle doing nothing and then hit glass and somehow Trump's ear got hit but at the same time there was no mark at all
I mean, someone could have warned me as I headed down this rabbit hole that it was gonna trip me out, but NGL, this is intense, and entertaining, if not serious. But again, I have had some edibles. Perhaps no more Internet tonight? Ever? LOL
I just love that the discourse has become openly coded. “Someone just do it”. No premeditation when nothing is clearly specified. I love legal loopholes.
If this is the case the first historical parallel I think of is the first 1917 Russian Revolution (not the second one in autumn 1917 when the Bolsheviks stole power). Accounts from the time say that people in Moscow, no matter their status, was openly talking about overthrowing the Tsar.
Saying it? Everyone is going to bed hoping to wake up to news of it. They've fucked around and now the previews for "Part 2: Found Out" are dropping and politicians and wealthy ppl do not like the script nor the public reception.
I had to tell a friend to shut up about it in public because they have poor impulse control and I don't want them to get a visit from very unfunny types of guys
Perfectly sane response to insane times. There comes a point on the oppression-scale where deadly force actually is the right way to go. If the US isnt at that point yet, its rapidly approaching it.
We're at an inflection point between "we can remove them from power, put a few in jail, and return to normal" and "OMG. We need a civil war and to kill a bunch of people before refounding the country." Scary times.
It's still not right. That's not how we do it in America unless you find yourself completely and utterly out of options. Still not right but I'm sure in the moment it would seem like the right thing to do. It isn't. Resist with all your might.
America was founded on it, then reforged in it. We weren’t a great nation until we industrialized death. This is who we are. We’re a nation defined by killing. How is talking about another death inconsistent with how we do things in America?
I always wonder why no politician or their families are ever involved in a mass shooting. Like they manage to insulate themselves from the rest of our tragedies. Imagine if they were, maybe we’d have gun control of some kind. Experience gives new perspective.
Gabby Giffords was, and she became a staunch advocate for gun control. On the other hand, Congress went thru Jan 6 and half of them call those assholes patriots. Of course, no Senator or Congressional reps got shot or beaten up, but still, it's hard to understand how J6 didn't get them there.
MAGA = few morals and already have 8 zillion guns a piece and a bone to pick with whoever last pissed them off most (we can't wait for it to be Trump, yes).
Libs/Dems = most still have humanity AND spines but don't relish idea of murdering their fellow humans. Some own guns but others may not.
pretty sure you're right, but it is not because spineless. violence usually comes harder to people with empathy. killing is hard for most people, even when you're filled with righteous anger
I think all the blue states should succeed and get Canada and Mexico to support them. Maybe even the EU. Most Red states will be surrounded. It's time for us to form our own militia and prepare.

The liberal left is typically mentally ill, and their TDS is causing them to go off the charts when they just need to calm down realize everything is fine and actually America is getting better every day. by Christmas it should be pretty great and 3 years from now everything will be amazing 👍
well, it looks like a cape. makes you look like a nutter like most libtards.
btw a lot of people liked what I posted. cuz it was funny! and you're the stupid one if that's you best comeback you got to be nasty and swear. wtf is "K. Thor" 😆 U retard.
Assassination RARELY achieves its goal, but the fact most people wish for one is alarming. They usually backfire, but I think half of the world or more is wanting to risk that anyway at this point.
considering how everyone is just riding his coattails and the republican party's last candidate for president was an out of touch billionaire, I suspect he's the only thing keeping them together
The fact that he can be repulsive without punishment is a huge appeal of his, but the attempt last July proves that if you make him a martyr, it will keep the movement alive even longer.
Oh, a martyrdom is only way anyone would support JD once Cheetodust Dingleberry is gone. Mr Cushions is the most uninspiring man to come from Ohio, and Ohio isn’t particularly inspiring. Sycophants with surgically removed spines never do stir up any particular sentiment, after all.
I don’t disagree that it would be possible to manipulate the situation to drum up support for JD, if handled right. I’m just not sure JD has the skills to handle it right.
I dont believe for one second that that 'assassination attempt' was real.
It was real that some patsy lost their life.
If someone had really tried to off him, he would have never shut up about it.
He never mentions it.
He would. He's a narcissist.
Guilt, maybe? (Doubtful)

History suggests they’re wrong.
I think I must've misread his post as something fascistic. I shouldn't post right after waking up
Third time's a charm, hopefully

The question is, who's going to be that one person?
The newspaper seller replied "Those are in the back of the paper, comrade."
"Not the one I'm looking for." 2/2
"👀..."
"👀...okay two."
"well, my second would be my abusive ex..."
Obama even signed the NDAA that allowed the indefinite detention of US citizens.

Guy said his therapist said "don't worry about it. Pretty much every patient is telling me the same thing lately."

Maybe try your 2nd ammendment🤔
That’s the worst part of all of this, imo.

Don't expect him to pay it.
If you wish a thing not to be heard
Then don't say it.
Doug Bowser can still "do the right thing."
I do hope Trump drops dead, but not until we’ve raised estate tax rates.
In the old days they didn’t miss.
We’re gunna need chemo and immunotherapy.
this shits cancer.
You can’t just remove the biggest tumors if it’s already metastasized. Musk, Thiel et al are bits of the cancer that got missed last time.

Odd that it always seems like the MAGAS who are violent.

That was interesting
The fuck happened to this country?

Bonhoeffer did just that.
Hitler made him his personal prisoner.
And killed him — 3 weeks before the Third Reich fell.
Take it away and it's no surprise what we revert to.
It was real that some patsy lost their life.
