That's the fucking point dip shit. People don't like what you're doing and they're trying to stop you. How fucking thick could you be?
"WOW People sure don't like being detained and deported with no due process. I really thought they'd just give up!"
Fucking dumbasses are doing all this fascist shit and they're not even doing it right. It's not even going to result in a fascist regime, just a bunch of dead people. What a colossal waste all in the name of greed.
Fucking dumbasses are doing all this fascist shit and... It's not even going to result in a fascist regime
I'm not sure what you mean by this. If it walks like a duck then it's a duck
Steps like a goose might be more apt in this case.
I’m going to borrow this going forward. Thanks!
What I took from it is they're LARPing as fascists doing fashy things, but they're not operating under the same level of competence that more successful fascist regimes do. It's about a bunch of overweight pigs that can't even pass a physical, putting on a German helmet and bossing people around, while being too fucking stupid to be capable of believing in anything let alone even know what they're doing.
I think that idea that Nazis were evil geniuses is part of the problem. Perhaps a handful of the top party leaders could be reasonably described that way but by and large your average Nazi was as exactly as dumb as your modern Republican. Although you probably have a point about the fat content of the two groups.

Actually, "successful" fascist regimes don't tend to be anywhere near as efficient as history teaches us.
A combination of their own propaganda persisting in spite of being debunked (for example the trains in Mussolini's Italy did NOT in fact tend to run on time) and a natural tendency in humans to conflate monstrous ruthlessness with efficiency means that historical fascists get a lot of unearned credit.
Being stupid and incompetent ISN'T inherently incongruous with being fascist.
In spite of the dominant narratives of both themselves and their opponents, fascism often if not always contain kakistocratic elements as "true believer" isn't synonymous with "truly cunning and effective"
Conclusion: the Trump regime IS a fascist regime by any objective criteria, none of which is "everyone is competent"
With all the amazing 5D chess moves being made like artificially inducing a recession if not a full depression, forcefully deporting the back bone of your labor force, extremely anemic manufacturing, massive brain drain, jailing everyone, and pretending that somehow the US is going to dominate the world with absolutely 0 diplomacy skills while burning all bridges to every alliance, I agree with that statement. It will all collapse into a civil war before they hit the end game of some dictator regime. The economy will be dead, and it will be a dark age in the western hemisphere. Not dark as is in depressing, but as in nothing happens because it will take probably a century to pass before anything starts to recover. These morons are going to be in the streets with the rest of us, picking at what's left of the country by forming tribes of raiders. Basically the plot every of every book that warned us about this future since the late '40's.
WOW People sure don’t like being detained and deported with no due process. I really thought they’d just give up!
I mean... given the US's track record for resisting fascism, this isn't an unreasonable expectation
One of them said back in October of last year, "This will be a bloodless coup, as long as the Democrats allow it to happen."
Have you considered not terrorizing innocent people then?
that sounds a lot like communism, and we can't have that!
A ringing endorsement for more protests
Sounds like they are achieving their goal.
That's the point, shithead
more ‘difficult’ and ‘dangerous’
Here's hoping that the protests make the raids impossible.
Chears to that
If it's making it more difficult we need more of it
Good.
Dangerous for you, maybe, you fucking ghoul.
"Won't somebody think of the Gestapo!!???"
Your raids are making it more difficult and dangerous to be a citizen going about their fucking business walking home. They're making it more difficult to be a business by shaking down tourists and customers. They're making it more difficult to be in a safe neighborhood, with illegal kidnappings happening on the streets. They're making it more difficult to be an American, watching the government attacking students in classrooms. They're making it more difficult to be a human watching them separate parents from children with no recourse.
The fascist government is running scared and confused? ..... then it means the protests are working.
Keep it up America, we're all cheering for you. USA!
Good. Let's keep it up!
trying to change the narrative to use more lethal force,
Oh so they are having the desired effect.
Weird thing to admit, but these guys don't strike me as the type to understand much about anything.
Quick message to all the pigs. None of you are officers. None of you are anything but gang members. In about 50-60% of your cases, that is literal, because you joined a gang inside the police force.
You started the "war on cops." You perpetuated the "war on cops" for four decades, despite all evidence to the contrary. You now commit the majority of assaults, theft, murder, rape, and accomplice covering up. The criminals you catch manage less than half of the crimes you commit.
You MADE your job harder by abandoning the people, and embracing a fictitious warzone.
Especially well documented in LA.
Dear police,
Your job is not meant to be "easy."
You job directly ruins the lives and livelihoods of individuals disproportionately to any 'crimes' that they may allegedly commit. Because of the power you wield and the damage that it causes, it is only right that your job should be difficult.
That difficulty is inherent to ensure that people are protected and that you follow all necessary procedures. That difficulty is to make sure that when you arrest someone, that you are sure they have committed a crime.
Your job should be harder, not easier!
Sincerely, Bryg Philomena
That means it's working! Let's fucking go!
It looks like there were a few raids in California today. The reporting is really unclear - does anyone know if they are targeting specific people or just rando grabbing people (including citizens)?
Oh noes! How DARE they not allow our purge!
Tom Homan is possibly the WORST human being in this intentionally cruel mess of a government other than Trump himself and Stephen Miller and that's fucking SAYING something!
His main responsibilities are to be as xenophobic, callous, and willfully obtuse as possible and by those criteria, he's more competent than 99% of the kakistocratic fascist regime of the Mango Mussolini.
If they would just stop buying tanks and pull their fascism up by their bootstraps they could afford to move to Mars
Good.
Oh no...
I thought the job was always difficult and dangerous. Just look at the weapons and body armour they wear.
😭🥺it’s so sad that the fascists can’t be as effective as they want to be
No shit Sherlock. Literally the point
Alexa, play despacito
Awww
Ramp up the pressure.
Oh is it too hard to be the Gestapo? Good. Now go eat a Ford F150.
Oh no. Anyway
Slava protestuval’nikam!
Oh no.
