      All they “need” is one, then they can just keep screaming about it over and over again and convince braindead conservatives that a single instance of something is a massive national issue threatening to drown the country.

        Huh, seems like they’re fine doing whatever they want anyways. It’s kind of a nothing threat when they’re already just shooting protestors on the streets and jailing people for moving magazines. There’s just no appeasing fascists, they were always going to do a fascism.

          Yeah, I guarantee you everyone in this thread has already done enough for the current regime to lock them up for life.

            And good riddance. If this is all it takes to get locked up then there’s no one worth a damn on the outside.

      At least 50% of the statements from the Trump admin are rage-bait. Charlie Kirk, who’s not even an elected official, caused a fair amount of backlash where people lost their jobs or were even imprisoned for their speech with little concern from conservative voters.

      the argument that we should not react to what is already being done to us or else it justifies the initial slight, is and has always been bullshit.

      do not justify capitulation to tyranny.
