Right now it’s the legal infrastructure, mostly. The mechanism they seem to most prefer developing is making LGBT+ existence pornographic. They are already trying to ban porn in general per P2025, but leveraging the severity of sex crimes to abuse them in particular is not a giant legal stretch once they have the precedent.

The mental illness angle would give the public the sense that they care, that they’re “helping” those “afflicted”, but may be harder to sell upfront. It’ll probably be a post-facto justification once they’re already rounding people up.

As far as physical structures, they are opening and reopening prisons at breakneck pace for the deportation effort. There will be no shortage of places to stuff anyone they don’t like.

If the topics of discussion are:

1. Nonwhites should be subject to warrantless search, arrest, detainment, and deportation, and we are actively carrying it out.
2. LGBT+ should be considered a mental illness and be imprisoned in “psychiatric facilities” and we are actively building the framework to do so.
3. MAGA is the party of real Americans, everyone else is a perfidious traitor and should be targeted, and we are openly entertaining this idea.

There isn’t anything to discuss, really. Fascist “discussion” is a distraction, a charade, an amusement, while they work to undermine norms and institutions and do real harm.

You want to see what MAGATs mean by “open discussion”, look at Patel’s and Hegseth’s Senate hearings. Repeating blatant lies, hollow rhetoric, and when pressed even a little, they angrily accuse everything and everyone in the room of being a fraud and a traitor. Nothing but contempt for the institutions they are forced to abide by, for now. I guarantee they were both thinking “I can’t wait to give the order to throw all these fucking communist worms in a hole” the entire time.

There is nothing to discuss with a fascist. There’s only what you can do to neutralize their influence.

I’m no Boeing engineer, but the design on the thumbnail does not look airworthy at all, the wings are too small and probably too far rearward to generate the necessary lift. And only 4 engines? Look up pictures of the late An-225 for an actual superheavy airlifter.

It doesn’t need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.

Is the answer lead poisoning?

Seems like it.

“We’ll coup whoever we want! Deal with it!” - actual Elon quote.

I’d imagine there are many ways people might “deal with it”, unfortunately for him.

Look at what the Kirk assassin wrote on their cartridges.

Internet meme culture is just culture now.

Just world fallacy. There is a very real chance that they will all get away with this. Better odds than not, I’d say.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a news release that the officer was trying to arrest a man who had a history of reckless driving, but he refused officers’ orders and instead drove his car at them. An ICE officer who was hit and dragged by the car felt his life was threatened and opened fire, the department said.

Federal goons tried to disappear a motorist with a post-facto justification of “public safety,” and the motorist chose Door #2.

Trash bag it up and toss it in general trash nowhere near the crime scene, preferably on a collection day. It could even be your personal trash. What are they gonna do, dragnet every pound of garbage disposal nationwide?

Violent enforcer of the status quo says using violence against the status quo is actually mental illness and emotional immaturity.

Whatever, pig.

He’ll be 97 when he gets out, if he lives that long.

Good riddance.

Don’t even have to look backwards. Try to imagine any public figure in “Liberal Media” saying half the shit they’re saying right now, but about Republicans.

Took 8 to 16 hours to disseminate the marching orders, even though they should be no surprise to anyone.

They’re in the hands of people that despise us and would never release them voluntarily, let alone prosecute with any intent on conviction and sentencing.

But maybe if people keep posting funny title cards on social media they’ll change their mind, I dunno.

I swear you people would watch World War III kick off, vomiting your own digestive system out from acute radiation sickness, and still be saying “This is just a distraction from Epstein!”

More than one thing can happen on planet Earth. It doesn’t all have to tie back to Trump and Epstein.

Nobody would pay attention regardless.

Where was the previous school shooting? I couldn’t tell you. It’s like keeping track of every day that it rains. We’re a broken society.

If the President of the United States can resign in one sentence, so can I.

I think I had to use one of these in a fever dream once

Reminds me of when Russia was using shit like line charges and surface to air missiles to blow up Ukrainian apartment blocks. Profound, idiotic squandering of military materiel not out of tactical necessity, but out of a base, abject hatred of their enemy as a culture and people.
