      While this is just the next phase of fascism we all expected, and as incompetent as the FBI has become, no one should doubt that this is a dangerous escalation. I haven’t been able to fly for almost 20yrs because of “alleged” ties to ALF/ELF during the terror panic that birthed Homeland Security post-9/11. That was when the modern surveillance state was just getting rolling.

    Yeah, nevermind the actual terrorists that do things like…checks notes…storm the Capitol, beat up police and were seeking to hang members of Congress and the Vice President in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.

      Hey, he got the Georgia ballots, so I’m fairly sure the next step is to “find” 11,780 that were never counted and declare himself the true winner of 2020.

      Ergo he would’ve been elected for a third-consecutive term in 2024, so he should be ineligible and everything he’s done since null-and-void? I guess? I dunno where they are going with this except to write the history books in their favor.

    “Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.”

    -misattributed to Mao, but it makes the point

    For the sake of history, its worth noting that it wasn’t the left taking the non-violent options off the table. Just saying. When you see this happen, consider it in the context of something like the war in Iran. When the administration does things like this, they do so without a plan and without consideration for the consequences.

      Honestly, that is one of the few saving graces of the entire situation. It will make it much easier for genuine resistance to succeed, if only because these evil bastards are innately clumsy.
