In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.
Depends on the country, sad to say. This is not American uniqueness.
America truly is a special place.
I see a sheriff that wants me to take a shit on his lawn
His address is public record. You can look it up on the county auditor’s web site.
Voter registration records, including party affiliation, are also public records in Ohio.
evergreen tweet
I keep a list of states I won’t set foot in.
Yeah. The “United” ones are pretty high up.
Ooohh.
Agreed. At least until after their civil war and subsequent liberation from christofascism / white nationalism. Ironic how the angriest, most poisoned, deranged savages are in the most incompetently governed republican strongholds…
That’s entirely by design.
During the last election, there were a band of Yahoo’s running around with a spray paint marker putting blue dots in front of houses that had Democrat yard signs.
They’re preparing for civil war. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but they are marking targets.
For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.
And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.
That doesn’t matter
All that matters is the side the army takes
Now if you’re looking to start a terrorist group, that would be much more effective than buying a gun. However there are obvious downsides to that too
No. you’re just trying to stir up a civil war. People need to go drink tea with their neighbours, now.
They’re already arming themselves for a civil war and openly calling themselves domestic terrorists, and your response is tea? You’re naive if you think neighborliness is enough to avoid the coming conflict, they’ve already killed Americans.
Ahh , yes two sugars please.
Now tell me again why you feel that forcing a mother with a fatal pregnancy to go full term to kill herself is better than a boarding the fetus.
Well you see, other people, not this girl would take advantage of it. And she’s in God’s hands anyway.
Mmm, this is quite good is it Yorkshire Gold?
And when a child shows up to your door and rings the bell looking for help how is it that you believe you’re in the right to shoot them in the face?
Well, you see, man has to protect himself…
I really don’t think I could stomach tea with these people.
No, you should definitely not drink tea with those people, but your neighbours? Who have been told to fear you because you are black/white/blue/red or rainbow coloured. Been told that you want destroy their way of living by their echo chambers, by targeted manipulation on social media, by sensationallist tradional media. they have been told to prepare for civil war like the person I replied to. That’s all people constantly hear, no-one is telling them to talk to their neighbours.
/s ?
Yes /serious
If you’re from denmark I don’t think you can appreciate how radicalized these neighbors have become through extremist news and social media.
I say we keep a list of fascist sheriffs instead.
A list of sherriffs, then?
There is a map! Add the fascists and protect yourselves. https://magatmap.com
“It’s wrong when they do it, it’s okay if we do it.”
MAGAt Map is like Family Watchdog. It provides locations to avoid for safety.
The Ohio Sheriff is advocating lists for retribution and mob violence using a position of power.
I hope you can see the difference.
Read the other comments here, that map will be used for mob violence, too
Was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book used for violence? I’d say the benefit of providing safety is greater than the risk of bad actors.
Nah, I can’t think of anything negative happening based on a list of people, their beliefs, and addresses especially not in the 1930s
Do you actually know what you’re talking about? Do you have anything other than opinion and unsupported questions to offer?
it’s a war. we’re the good guys. glad you’re catching on.
You should write that all over your car
it’s a war. we’re the good guys.
Said by everyone who has ever participated in a way.
sure, but only one side can win. which side do you want that to be?
The side that’s not making a map of everyone who disagrees with them so that they can punish them as soon as they have the power to do so.
maybe you should leave the country then. i’m here to win because i care about what this planet looks like after i’m gone. there is no place for cowards any more.
You don’t fucking “win” in any context of what your talking about. For every person who you “eradicate” of conservative thinking just makes the pendulum of thinking swing harder to resist what your attempting to do. You sound like a child or autistic. I haven’t decided which yet.
i think people would cheer to see swaths of conservatives cease to exist.
Keeping a list of people openly putting out fascist paraphernalia is a good thing because people like this hide as soon as the wind turns against them. Don’t let them fade into the background.
So…I’m with you. Fascists are bad, and we need to make sure that Fascists can’t hide their fascism when and if we get this country sorted and back on its feet. But I have questions!
- How do we ensure that we only catch Fascists? Your Magatmap seems to require an image, but no description.
- What stops me from cooking up an AI image of somebody I don’t like with Trump flags and swastika arm bands and getting them submitted to your system?
- What happens if this guy was a Trumpet in 2016, but is apologetic about it now and swears he’s no longer a trumpet?
- How do you ensure that innocent people not get caught up in your MAGAt Map?
- What are we supposed to do with the map afterwards?
Liberals have a good reason for questioning your methods here. We don’t want to become what we hate because when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. And those of us who look at your suggestion wonder if we will become Nazis trying to fight Nazis your way.
Its not my map
Does anyone here believe that these are equivalent, and that both of your statements are true?
This is just a list of sheriff departments
They’re calling all sheriffs fascist
I think that was their point.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it felt like Hiccup’s “You just pointed at all of me” quip.
9 seems low.
yes.
Because those are the ones making bomb threats. Racist fucking bastard.
I’ve been running over Trump signs with my car. It’s fun.
Shit. You drive over a sign like that within 500 yards of Drump and it would be considered an assassination attempt.
Fill their yards with Kamala signs instead. Damaging Trump signs encourages them to buy more, which supports the Trump campaign.
Nah if you run over them you get to fuck up their lawns too.
I’ve been thinking about doing this on my motorcycle. Might have to actually go through with it lol
My God that headline is terrible. That’s the most sane shit he said.
“When people ask me…What’s gonna happen if the Flip — Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say…write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo…when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live…We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families…who supported their arrival!” the post said.
He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.
The “locust” bit is getting far too little attention. The history of comparing undesirable populations with vermin is long and filled with horrific violence.
“locust” is for those times when nazi rhetoric doesn’t feel biblical enough.
He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.
So, par for the course with US law enforcement.
These guys are always painfully blind to the defense budgets they support.
Ohio sheriff spotted linking ears with RFK Jr. followed by reported sounds of moaning, “violent, fleshy worm movement” and the smell of celebratory, rotted bear meat.
They’ll literally track anyone but gun owners.
Yeah, let’s keep a list of who’s not armed so they can cross reference that with their sign list before they go on the offensive. Great idea.
The feds have a list of gun owners, it’s just not pulled from gun sales or anything like that. It comes from data, bought up from internet data brokers, deanonymized and put into your FBI file. Like if you’re liking and sharing a bunch of ammosexuals and tacticool content, or whatever you’re doing publicly online, the feds know.
If you’re liking and sharing you could just think the stuff is cool. I don’t think you’d be flagged for that. There are however specific products that when purchased, that info is related to feds. If you recall, Amazon, eBay, PayPal send a list of everyone who has purchased a 3d printer to the FBI every two months. https://www.ammoland.com/2024/05/dhs-admits-to-monitoring-3d-printer-purchases-with-the-help-of-amazon-ebay-and-paypal/
Whut the fuck Ugh
this comment section is a dumpster fire, I thought one of the points with lemmy was to have civilized discussion instead of tribalistic “me good, them bad” arguments? i myself am a hair right of center, but respect democrats for believing what they belive can’t we agree what this asswipe of a sheriff, and magatmap are doing is fucking wrong? god we need to throw this entire political system out
If you get on the internet and go find a comment section that has a couple hundred comments, you can always say that it’s a dumpster fire. Some people are lazy, some people are trolling, some people are addressing concerns that you don’t understand because they didn’t frame it with enough background.
I think you have several options in a situation where it seems like the comments are a disaster. You could download and walk away, you could comment about how it’s a dumpster fire and walk away, or you could throw in something a little bit constructive. I recommend the first or the third, unless you feel like you’re in a trolling mood, and then do whatever you want.
If you’re still voting for the republicans you’re supporting fascism. And that is not civilized. Because fascism means that fascist violence will become inevitable.
Im trans and I have multiple trump people in my neighborhood. My partner and I have agreed us putting up either pride flags or Harris signs would simply make ourselves targets since we live in a red state and county. I don’t want people like this to put me on a list so they can come and attack the house if their fascist leader comes into power. Something that while they would want to do, I’m not positive they’d actually have the guts to do.
Regardless, this shit terrifies me.
I’m a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I’m intentionally avoiding showing up on any “lists” that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It’s not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.
Are you armed? You don’t have to reveal political affiliation to go to a gun range and learn how to shoot and basic gun safety.
I definitely need to learn how to shoot, I did when I was a kid but haven’t gone shooting in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t feel safe to actually get armed just because of my own mental health. I do have friends who are armed, though, and they’re willing to come help if need be.
May I suggest you take up learning a martial art?
Not sure what they’re like in your area, but when I learned Karate as a kid in the 90s/00s, everyone was treated according to their skill level and discipline, gender/sex is irrelevant (beyond cups for guys and thick sports bras for gals).
Its not likely to make you bullet proof, but it does stand a decent chance at bettering your physical and mental health, give you more options when a gun is not part of the scenario.
Also, I would second the notion of going to a range and signing up for basic pistol and rifle familiarization, as well as basic medical training, unless you legitimately are totally terrified of firearms or have some kind of trauma or PTSD related to them.
Such courses usually provide you with firearms for the course, you don’t own them or take them home, they stay at the range. You just learn the basic principles of operation and safety and shooting technique, under hopefully an extremely serious couple of range masters who will hopefully teach you to treat all guns as if they are loaded until you have personally verified they are not, and to never, not even accidentally, point the barrel of a gun at something you do not intend to destroy.
You don’t need to go buy a gun first and not trust yourself with it.
In fact usually a novice shooter is going to want to experiment a bit with different calibers and guns with differing grip styles and weight distributions untill you find something comfortable to shoot.
Martial arts and guns can give people a false sense of security. Who wants to devote a huge portion of their life to preparing for personalize warfare? LARPers live for that crap. On the other hand, it is wise to have a method of self defense as a normal life plan.
The absolute best defense is avoidance whether getting away or even moving your place of residence. There are many places where people aren’t bat-shit crazy.
Forget martial arts if someone has deadly intentions. Get a short shot gun and learn safety and security first. Then learn your firearm very intimately, both how it works and how to use it so well that muscle memory is instinctive. Then, learn how to set a trap where you have the advantage even if you aren’t super proficient. Most of all watch this short video.
Im not trans but I often think about my leftist views being on the Internet, in the surveillance age, we really really cannot let these motherfuckers into more power. Shit will hit the fan quickly.
Two of our (gay couple) neighbors said something similar to me a while back: They’re too afraid to put up a sign or flag.
My house doesn’t have any LGBTQ people living in it but we have a HUGE fucking LGBTQ flag right across from the American flag. It’s been such a blessing too! Now the most annoying of my neighbors don’t try to smalltalk with me anymore about their absolutely batshit insane conspiracy theories 👍
I hope you don’t feel any shame in this. It’s absolutely disgusting that you live with this sort of fear, and I hope you have a community that you can rely on.
Also, I saw that someone suggested learning to handle firearms, which I agree with, but if home defense is what you’re going for, a good ole fashioned Louisville Slugger will also often do the truck
Drop abunch on his property while hes away
Use a robot to secretly paint “Kamala” on his lawn. For bonus points use AI to generate an image of him kissing Kamala and use that as the image (wonder what kind of resolution one can get on a lawn? 🤔)
Anybody voting republican is actively encouraging this nazi shit, and if they don’t realize they are they’re probably too stupid to be voting.
unfortunately the only people who are too stupid to vote are those who don’t or those who vote third party knowing they have no chance. it’s like Darwin awards but instead of the gene pool they take themselves out of the voting pool.
actually, if it goes a certain way maybe out of the gene pool as well.
Add fascists to the map! https://magatmap.com
this is genius. don’t let these pansie pacifist downvoters deter you. this is exactly what we need.
I’m not going anywhere. :)
Beep boop
