The Trump campaign aims to use today's shooting as a sort of Reichstag fire to incite his supporters to step up street violence while calling for more state repression targeting his enemies of choice.
The Biden campaign has already paused all outbound communications and withdrawn their television advertisements, ceding the entire field of narrative to Donald Trump, who will have no compunction about using his status as a victim to advance his efforts to victimize others.
One of the classic mechanics of totalitarianism is that protecting the safety of the leader becomes a justification for violence against large swathes of the population.
As centrists join the far right in paving the way for totalitarian rule under Trump, we have to organize to defend our communities. If you have been in denial about the challenges ahead of us, this should be a wake-up call to find each other and prepare for them.
Oh no not the Oath Keepers! Bruh they're a bunch of beer swilling fat LARPers too even if some of them are ex military.
And just because you have military training doesn't make you a good insurgent.
1.) Ex military are trained to fight within a larger army. If you Trumpers really start something you will be 100% on your own.
2.) Most Ex military have a head full of screws loose. The number one way vets die is by suicide. If you think they will be an effective fighting force you are delusional. Many of them got sectioned out for this very reason!
3.) In fighting. You Drumpfters all think your snowflake ideology is the true way. Turns out the shooter was a Republican. This will be amped up 100x of y'all start actually getting desperate.
And so what of your parents are boomers. They're part of the problem. They're most likely reactionaries that are culpable for where we are now.
I am not afraid one iota, anyone that puts in the necessary time to defend themselves shouldn't be either.
