They're saying the quiet parts out loud and there's no turning back

If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that's a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

For anyone wondering, Snopes says it was real in 2022. Perhaps a "joke", but not a wise one.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's just the Trump excuse. Everything atrocious that is said that gets pushback is a joke.

"He tells it like it is!"

"Come on, he's obviously just joking!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Pretty much. He "tells it like it is" when they agree with him and it's a joke when they don't. Reality is fungible for them.

I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.

Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .

But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

wtf? Why christians wouldn't be considered terrorists?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I reckon it's supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can't be terrorists, unless they are "mixed" race or have been in a Mosque

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've re-read the last paragraph. I'm quite slow, it's 100% sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It got me the first time too. That's how you know it's great sarcasm!

Nope, just plain ole terrorism.

Stochastic Terrorism means advocates for but does not personally commit it. There have been shootings, that isn't stochastic.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The stochastic terrorism happened before the shootings. Both forms of violence need to be stopped.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

That's true, yeah.

"Arizona Democrats closed their field office in Tempe, Ariz. after three shooting incidents. The office served as a base for the Sun State’s congressional campaigns and Vice President Harris’s presidential effort in recent weeks.

"The Tempe Police Department said the latest incidents on Oct. 6 involved gun shots fired at the Democratic campaign office at around 12:30 a.m. They said no one was inside the building. Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander with an unknown plate, which was seen on the premises. "

Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander...

Good news, that narrows down the field significantly. There can be only one.

God damn it, why can't reality at least have a soundtrack by Queen?

Republicans really hate democracy.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They are a Communist grass roots terrorist group. We should treat them as so.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Wait, how are Republicans Communist???

Should have stayed open. You're letting those fucking terrorists win
