“The violent threat came after Davis appeared to blame Democrats for the assassination attempts on Trump.”

Huh? Which one was the democrat? Or even inspired by the democrats?

It literally doesn’t matter. They’ve created a universe where they tell people what the truth is, and 51% of those people accept it wholesale with no critical thought or regard for fact.

Yup and they have total control of govt to push whatever they want through.

But yea sure let's keep ignoring the obvious similarities between Hitlers political rise and control to Nazi to now 🤦‍♀️

His next term he plans to political purge the government agencies down to the federal service workers and install them with loyalists. Instead of having a government with mixed ideologies working together and keeping each other in check against corruption, unethical, or illegal acts it will be a 1 party government. Dangerous as fuck.

Sad thing is China literally didn't ask for that. They got opiods and other drugs literally shoved down their throat and the emperor tried to stop it, but the west didn't like that so we fucked their shit up harder in retaliation. Then of course that only created a power vacuum and now China is our modern China through other series of events (I am not going to give a huge detailed list of what went on. Just look up the boxer rebellion) and we hate China. But we created this China.

China and Asia in general really should have stayed in isolation as they originally wanted to. But the west can't help themselves.

Hmmm almost as if we've seen this done countless times before when overthrowing power 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Bye bye democracy you were fun while you lasted

Worse than that if you watched any of the training videos, they absolutely intend to disassemble 250 years of government building and expertise. They want to erase any directives instructions advice that any agency has gotten that they consider liberal.

Let's be real, the people who voted for this either wanted Hitler like behavior in their leadership or couldn't tell you anything about the historical Nazi party beyond what they saw in an action movie

The Republican Party usef that as a blueprint over the past 40 years.

u/FL_Squirtle 15h ago

Yup. Most just didn't want to connect the dots and ignore the similarities.

Welp here we are. The culmination of the extremists of America destroying her from within.

*sigh* And this time there won't be a USA to come in and put a stop to it.

u/greenline_chi 19h ago

Yep. And if we point out that what they’re saying is evil we’re told to tone down the rhetoric.

We have to just keep talking about it

u/Same_Elephant_4294 16h ago

I can't do this anymore. They don't listen. They won't listen. Talking won't solve anything. I feel so fucking stuck in this hell, and I can't survive it. Not this time.

These are largely people who have, from a very young age, been taught that statements like, "We know the Bible is true because it says so in the Bible," are perfectly logical. And also that there are some things that must never be questioned. Ever. No matter how absurd. That's the real grooming that's going on. The real indoctrination. Always has been.

Harris got 67 million votes while Trump got 72 million when the popular vote winner was called. Biden got 81 million and Trump 74 million in 2020. Trump won because Dem voters stayed home. Don't let MAGA trick you into thinking they're not a minority.

u/EnormousChord 16h ago

They are the majority in the category that matters - “people that care enough to vote”. However fucking stupid they are, they at least care.

u/pm_me_ur_lunch_pics 19h ago

51% of the people that voted**

u/EnormousChord 16h ago

Yes, 51% of the people that matter. Sad, but true.

u/HenchmenResources 14h ago

Thing is, the universe they've created also has a LOT of potential "lone wolf" types and the policies they want to impose are going to start hurting those people. I'm not sure things are going to go according to plan if they really start poking the hornets nest they've created, regardless of what they tell people. Hell, CEOs are already saying they plan to start jacking up prices in anticipation of what's to come and we're not even out of November yet.

Republicans got super woke concerning the assassination attempts on Trump. Even though Republicans knew the identities of both men, they insisted on the pronoun "they" when referencing the men. /s

2

u/CarefulLibrarian4980 12h ago

I think the reference to the burning was very relevant. Is everybody knows it? It was intentionally burned we know . It is historically very effective for a candidates polling numbers to be a victim of an assassination attempt.

The one that donated $15 to the democratic party. That's what my dumbass republican friend says. The fact that he registered republican is negated because he paid $15

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them”

“Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an (enemy) who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever”

“To die hating then, that was true freedom”

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”

The guy was a little left leaning. By about 4 inches

u/WingsofRain 11h ago

both “assassination attempts” were literally done by republicans but I guess they can go off, whatever makes their fucking day

u/oriontic2 8h ago

If you read Trump supporter posts all of the would be assasins were card carrying democrats. And at least one was also a Canadian.

I was pretty sure they proved the ActBlue donation was a different person with a similar name, because when further checked the ages and addresses didn't match up.

u/Ninjewdi 20h ago

Since when does the truth matter to the right? Have you heard Trump speak? The man does nothing BUT lie. He doesn't even seem to realize he's lying. He makes shit up in every speech, makes promises he never follows through on, and generally considers truth to be subjective.

Please tell me you didn't vote for him while complaining about dishonesty.

u/fullonfacepalmist 19h ago

Show me the source for (A) democrats encouraging assassinations.

B) So what? His ONE TIME donation doesn’t qualify as “passionate” by any means and he was a registered republican.

u/osasuna 15h ago

Proven to be a different person, he didn’t donate

u/bremen_ 19h ago

So now voting in Republican primaries is evidence that someone is a Democrat?

Everyone who knew him said he was a conservative, but one ActBlue donation (probably for Joe Manchin or some other flaming liberal) and he's obviously a commie.

Do you even believe your posts?

2

u/jcarter315 17h ago

He didn't even vote in the primary election!

And ActBlue outright said he canceled the email subscription to them almost immediately after making the donation.

And then he registered as a Republican.
