White House orders pause on all federal grants and loans, impacting trillions of dollars in aid. Impact on Social Security and Medicare benefits excluded.
I would agree with you if they had mentioned people getting violent, but instead their tone is more like they hope something causes a change. They are not gleefully wishing for violence here imo
Hard to tell, I was pointing out the joking tone of it. Bcz civil unrest isn’t a joke, whether it’s warranted or not. It ends up being scary for a lot of people.
Fascists control the US federal government, and many state governments. There will be violence. The only questions are who starts it, when, how much, and who wins.
It’s coming, let’s get it over with so we can be done with this dark hour in history more quickly.
It’s a little frightening that you think there’s much chance it benefits anybody other than the fascists.
This isn’t the pre-revolutionary era where a large amount of people would effectively take up arms and pose a credible threat.
They have the mechanisms of government, they have the militias, they have the backing of a significant chunk of the populace, they have the most businessmen, they have their own locked down media ecosystem, etc etc.
We can look to N Korea and Russia and see that a population can indeed be stabilized under modern totalitarian rule, it just took some practice for humanity to learn how to pull it off. And you want to roll the dice on this now, here?
It won’t. These people are stupid enough to cheer him on after his first term in office ended with a fucking insurrection. They don’t give two shits about law or anyone else.
These morons were fine with covid except when it affected them personally, and even then they didn’t care enough to vote against the person who undermined the covid response. They never blamed the Republicans for shutting down the government multiple times for no reason other than to obstruct a Dem president.
They are too stupid to link this to their suffering. They will just blame Dems based on whatever the orange turd says.
This is absolutely bonkers, halts 10% of the US GDP overnight and will spark civil unrest if it goes on too long.
Don’t tease me.
They want that so they have an excuse to deploy the military against civilians.
He’s already said he’s thinking of using the insurrection act to invoke martial law within the next 90 days.
I can’t stand comments like this. You act like civil unrest won’t get people hurt, or maybe even killed.
Birthing pains, bro. Birthing pains.
Positive change doesn’t come without sacrifice.
If you wanna make an omelette, some people gotta die.
Easy to say that on the internet. I don’t see anybody picking up their pitch forks to stop this.
Maybe crack a history book sometime and check out how we got all the nice freedoms we have now 😂
The history books for this haven’t been written…
History tends to repeat itself. And clearly we haven’t learned any lessons, so it’s gonna repeat itself again.
German history 1933-1945.
Uh… have you been living under a rock? There have been multiple assassination attempts recently, one successful.
One successful? What are you talking about, the shooter in the first one ended up dead.
They didn’t even catch him:
Fair i guess. I assumed you were talking about the president.

We are well past the point of shit being scary for a lot of people.
Agreed. I took it as gallows humor. But who knows. We are fucked right now.

edit to add a word
Lay down and give up if you want to.
Rights are written in blood.
Sadly, the civil unrest will be from Republicans who somehow blame everyone else for their dear leader taking a shit on the country, again.
Might actually break the spell. Granted, they’re morons, so it might not.
It won’t. These people are stupid enough to cheer him on after his first term in office ended with a fucking insurrection. They don’t give two shits about law or anyone else.
They do care about their own pocketbooks. Halting 10% of the economy is as bad or worse than Covid.
