Actual quote (video included in link):

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term,” he threatened. “Because listen here, sweetheart: We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat a-- in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that.”

Welcome to the new regime.

    Let’s see how all the welfare states fare when blue states stop paying federal taxes and start building up their own military.

        We would quickly find out if the Silicon Valley libertarian elites are actually libertarians or just MAGAts in disguise. A secession so they don’t have to pay the feds anymore would be a libertarians wet dream.

    Also, I swear: Benny Johnson has one the most smug and punchable faces I’ve ever seen. Up there with Gaetz, Spencer, Ted Cruz and Nick Fuentes.

    Its time to become unruly before he gets sworn in. It is time to become ungovernable. This isn’t like 2016. Its just death threats and absolute power.

        The difference between a white man running and an indian woman running is 11mil white male voters feeling too insecure to cast a ballot.

        We are a country of incels

          Really, you really think it was all men who didn’t vote for Harris? Reminder that 53% of white women voted for MAGA here.

          I’m willing to bet money there were millions of women who also didn’t vote for Harris due to economic anxiety.

            You’re allowed to go look at the demographics who voted in 2020 who didn’t vote this time

            It was older white men, Millennials, genx and boomers

          It is, that’s why the xtian nationalists are so keen on forcing everyone to be in their little book club.

      It has been in full swing since his first term. There was an interview with Biden where he referenced more of this hate. Something along the lines of “these people hid in the woods, but once Trump came into power they realized they had friends in high places. They came out of those woods with hoods on”. Gonna see if I could find the video.

      Edit

      I was a little off on the quote. They wore hoods to hide themselves. But under a Trump presidency, these people didn’t need the hoods anymore.

    If they throw out the rule of law like this there’s no reason why anyone should follow the law at all. If Trump and his allies don’t have to follow the law why should anyone else?

    If the only thing that motivates these people is violence that’s what they’ll get.

    If being captured means a death sentence then there’s no reason to peacefully surrender. In fact, it is your human right to fight for your life in self defense.

    If you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. The billionaires should remember that all their wealth is built upon the trust the world has in the US’s stability. If that goes away then so does the majority of their wealth.

      People have children. They need to be fed and have healthcare. You don’t get either without a job.

      This is how terror works.

      Yeah good luck with that. There is a reason that the communists/socialists were among the first that the Nazis murdered.

      I would recommend learning about fascism, and how it is able to sustain itself (in the short term, at least).

      Talk like this in public in a year or two will likely get you disappeared
