Can someone list which laws he would break if he did this?
Must, absolutely must, arm yourselves. Join local militias, self-defense forces, neighborhood Patrol forces, or whatever you call them in your area. Got to prepare.
Yup.
If you even dabble in history you know that the best time to purchase firearms and start training was yesterday. The second best time is today.
This is not alarmist shit. We have crossed some serious thresholds already. Fascism is absolutely here. If enough American citizens make it clear we’re ready to use our 2nd amendment right as originally intended, then we can potentially make them fear enough for their safety to limit their fascist actions before things get really dark.
Because if we don’t, then this continues spiraling and a lot of people are going to die and it’s going to take a lot longer for things to get back to normal.
Again, this is not doomsaying. This is real shit. Pick up a history book. We’re already well down the path. The Germans didn’t think it was getting too serious until it was too late.
Arm yourselves. Help your friends and family arm themselves. Train with them. Put pressure on your state-level politicians to create a state militia.
It can, and will, happen here if we don’t push back.
yeah… all the militias in my area are magat infested circlejerks filled with the dough boys or neo-nazis that religiously larp their squeal team six fantasies.
the only benefit would be the hotwife couples that you could meet but even then the various amounts of VD you would be exposing yourself to would make the endeavor worthless. you’d be safer picking up a prostitute. at least then you wouldn’t have to listen to hours of brainless fox news propaganda just for fifteen minutes of mediocre sex.

Even more reason to get with like-minded people and create a militia.
I bet there are more leftists militias and defense groups than you’d think. If somehow there arent then you should look into creating one.
I need to seek one of those out
All just because Cuomo lost to a progressive candidate. Americans, please be fully aware what lengths Trump is willing to take for total control
The apoplectic establishment reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts. It is suggesting arrest of Netanyahu.
States and cities are under fire from federal Republicans that either must resort to higher taxes on some people, or significantly increase desperation levels that will increase crime, and validate more the needs for fascist takeovers of cities/states that don’t fund anti-desperation programs.
Waiting any minute until I see Chairman Trump as a decoration.
This is dementia ramblings.
They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would’ve talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.
Do. Not. Underestimate. This. Fascist.
America is on the brink.
Brink? my brother in christ that brink was several months back. you’re a full on fascist state now. I’m in Canada and I live above a Nazi bar.
He’s basically already invaded LA. Don’t know why people think this is unbelievable.
It is until it isn’t.
There’s no way he’d implement a 250% tariff. That’s just crazy.
Fuck the mods!
Violence will be the only correct response if this is done.
Actively overturning an election bc the other party won, is a call to remove those in charge by any means.
Actively overturning an election bc the other party won
The election is in November …
Yes, if he overturns the election results after the election. I guess he could passive aggressively do it to.
Fuck the mods
First off, to be clear, I don’t agree with this statement, I think it’s the wrong stance.
But after that, I think this is a really an interesting point. [In general I understand a policy of not inciting violence] but if for instance, (purely hypothetically) the country were to fall into civil war (a crazy suggestion I know), wouldn’t this policy instantly seem inappropriate?
I mean, encouraging people to join the war effort would be a matter of course, to quash that sentiment and silence those voices seems unethical.
As we slip closer to that possible outcome, surely the time for seriously talking about violence would come before the first shot is fired, right? So where do you draw that line? At what point is a statement which incites violence “violating site rules” and at what point is it “legitimate discussion of impending hostilities”.
And I for one, am very interested in how mods feel about this question.
edit for clarity in brackets
He means fuck the mods because they ban and delete comments that even hint at violence or Revolution, which only helps the oppressor. We are never going to get a better deal if every time we talk about getting mad, we get shut up and shut down. It was a huge issue on Reddit and is becoming one here with the mods who just ban everyone who gets mad
Jordan just bans you if you hurt nazis feelings.
wouldn’t this policy instantly seem inappropriate?
Out of context, yes. However, lemmy.world has been banning people for jokes or PERCEIVED call for violence.
It feels more like a “I’m having a bad day and i’m taking it out on you.” On top of that, the incresing amount of fake news sites or uncreditable news outlets is alarming. If the goal was to be reddit 2.0 , Mission accomplish.
At what point is a statement which incites violence “violating site rules” and at what point is it “legitimate discussion of impending hostilities”.
I feel this should be the point if his threat is carried out. Everything up to this point could be argued in a manner that it is still, no matter how crazy it sounds, in hia scope of power. Removing an elected political adversary due to their political party would mean starting over with a constitution.
As a resident of Washington state, I really wish these articles would include D.C. when they refer to the country’s capital. This time, they are referring to D.C.
Don’t worry, if he takes over those two your turn won’t be far behind.
Yeah I went bug eyed there for a sec as a fellow resident
“for a sec”
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist; Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Are you only willing to act once they are at your doorstep?
Kinda hard to accomplish anything material from the other side of the country.
I was so fucking confused lol
It’s a city named Washington which is the most relevant to US politics so it kind of makes sense.
deleted by creator
The city of Washington is located within the District of Columbia. But go ahead with your confidently incorrect statements
Yes, but it’s easy to confuse with the state when “D.C.” isn’t included.
Without context, surely so. With context I think a moment to process is all that is required. I guess it would have been a good idea not to name two important places in the US the same thing.
I’ve noticed with politics it’s pretty east coast centric along with comedy television/movies. Just assume it’s DC when it’s politics.
Death to the fascists
What a coincidence, I suggest Trump goes and fucks himself with the green side of a pineapple
Why just one side? Keep pushing it in until he can feel both sides.
So going for a Preußenschlag
He’s with my mother on the other side—Washington is watching from the other side! Teach me how to say goodbye
So, to my fellow Americans in NYC, how are those gun laws working out? That’s a smartass question, but more seriously, what will you do when the Gestapo comes rolling down Flatbush Avenue?
I’ll never find it again, but a few years ago jihadis went rampaging down the streets in Iran, randomly shooting into apartment blocks. All I could think was, “At least that can’t happen here.”
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
I for one haven’t forgotten that you think banging 17 year olds is fine
Oof, coming out of left field with a damn tank over here, when all this guy has is a plastic butter knife and sarcasm.
You got a link for this? Like, I don’t want it to be true but holy shit, what a sentence.
I tagged them long ago when they said something along the lines of “come on a 17 year old is really physically an adult” referring to sexuality. I often tag people if they say something sus or fucked up and i often see repeat behavior from them. So in this case I see another weird conservative viewpoint coming up from the same dude, I gotta call them.
I would find that comment for ya but it honestly might take a long time to do so.
They’re going just about as well as they are everywhere else in the US, barring that one guy in Texas that got killed opening fired on a Border Patrol facility the other day. Before you get too snarky, let’s have some examples of the folks in states that always have a hard-on for gun ownership who are actually proving what you’re implying here? Oh, the good gun-owners generally aren’t rising up, but those states are actually welcoming the Gestapo with open arms, since they voted for this? What a surprise.
Keep on living in your fantasy world that the 2nd Amendment bros are going to actually get off their asses and do something about it. Other than cheering it on, that is.
I’m from Texas, and if I had a nickel for every responsible gun owner I know I’d have $0.00.
