[u/talktobigfudge]

This ugly fuck is what's wrong with society. 

Temu Goebbels is a traitor to America.

[u/SeriousScorpion → u/talktobigfudge]

While it is a serious matter, and I agree with you, Temu Goebbels sent me 😂

[u/bonghitsforbeelzebub → u/talktobigfudge]

Temu Goebbels is an excellent name I'm stealing it lol

[u/ronweasleisourking → u/talktobigfudge]

Temu Goebells lol nice

[u/Wendypants7 → u/talktobigfudge]

Just as an aside, I prefer Naziferatu for his moniker. (Not mine, can't take credit.)

[u/S_A_R_K → u/Wendypants7]

Peewee German is pretty good too

[u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

cant wait to turn the tables on this ghoul and see whats really under that creepy fucking mask

[u/sometimesifeellikemu → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

He has repeatedly shown that side already.

[u/StrobeLightRomance → u/sometimesifeellikemu]

Honestly, if this creepy little imp's public persona is already so ghoulish, the skeletons hidden in his closet, and basement, and bunker, and boathouse, are probably much more disfigured and distorted than we even imagine.

[u/BallSeaman → u/StrobeLightRomance]

Remember, Miller is only a fascist stooge because his arms are too weak to strangle prostitutes.

[u/Wellsy → u/BallSeaman]

Wow, that was a hell of a line lol

[u/Hot-Note-4777 → u/Wellsy]

It’s an old one that’s been circulating Reddit for a while. It’s good but, like most quips here, far from original.

[u/wagglewazzle → u/BallSeaman]

Exactly…this guys only got words … and a limp dick. Let’s, however, not gloss over him calling their political opponents a threat to their survival. Honey, you haven’t seen anything yet

[u/SamTheLab_213 → u/BallSeaman]

Who said he isn't strangling prostitutes? We don't really know what is in the Epstein files. We do know that Trump, Epstein's other friends, the tech bros and that little Miller weasel are trying to dismantle democracy and the rule of law.

Logic mandates, by default, the only people get rid of laws are people who despise the law. The only people who despise the law are who have violated it. I know some will argue, but no human does something for no reason. Hate to break it to you.

Figuring these are naughty little Nazis, because all Nazis are naughty, the question is what have Miller, Trump and the lot of them done? Inquiring minds want to fucking know. There are all sorts of crimes, rape, murder, fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, etc... etc.

If these fuckers want to end our democracy and our laws they must have done some of that. What's with all those redactions in the Epstein files? What's up with all the secrecy these people partake in? Is there to hide the naughty things they've done?

The reason I say this, is because if you think these people don't have a goal in mind and a reason for this goal, then you're mistaken. The bottom line is this: these people enjoy hurting other people. People like that live among us, so quit bullshitting yourself and shaming victims. That gets fucking old real quick.

The way I figure it, their lawlessness is the thread common to them all. Anyone who enjoys hurting someone has hurt someone. You cannot get addicted to victimizing others if you don't victimize.

Just because you don't yet know what they've done, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Trust me, any victim is busy struggling to be believed. The biggest reason people keep getting abused by creeps is that no one is believing and helping the victims.

[u/CharleyNobody → u/StrobeLightRomance]

There’s a reason why he and other Trumpers live on military bases. They’ve decapitated the military so that it will do whatever they tell it to do. Any military who refuses will be expelled and possibly jailed.

[u/Jermas → u/CharleyNobody]

I can’t speak for everyone in the military, but I can assuredly say, “no, I won’t.” Military officers don’t pledge our allegiance to the office of the president. We raise our right hand to support the constitution of these United States. If given illegal orders from our civilian leadership, it is our duty to disregard those orders.

Does that potentially come at cost? Absolutely. It takes a lot of guts to disobey orders, and can take a lot of time in the aftermath to establish that those very orders were illegal. It’s no situation that anyone wants to be in, but it’s the current reality.

Edit: Holy cow, I’ve never gotten awards before; thank you!

[u/catsandcoconuts → u/Jermas]

glad there’s still people like you out there.

[u/JustAtelephonePole → u/sometimesifeellikemu]

Yeah, it’s just an uglier, shit-smeared facsimile of a face.

[u/dantekant22 → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

What he’s really saying is that opposition is being criminalized.

Listen carefully to this dickhead. And vote accordingly.

[u/spawn989 → u/dantekant22]

next up, all democratic victories are invalid cause they are terrorists

[u/RoughPalpitation7381 → u/spawn989]

You joke, but this is literally what the dixiecrats did during reconstruction. Republican victories were invalidated and Black politicians were murdered. The parties have flipped in that regard, but the reactionary nature of this dynamic is the same.

[u/spawn989 → u/RoughPalpitation7381]

I wasent joking, I whole heartedly believe this is the next step possibly starting tonight

[u/aj1805 → u/dantekant22]

An opposition to their ‘form of republican government’ aka fascism

[u/LEDKleenex → u/dantekant22]

It's gonna take a lot more than voting to combat this. I know nobody wants to inconvenience themselves, but if you sit around and wait for votes you're going to be in for a rude awakening.

[u/Blacksad9999 → u/LEDKleenex]

They're overreaching because they're afraid.

[u/Expensive-Sundae-831 → u/LEDKleenex]

I know. But because the opposition party is in the bag too, it feels hopeless.

The tracks have been laid. The steps lead nowhere good.

[u/16c7x → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

You better be quick because it's only a matter of time before voting for anyone other than republicans will be seen as political terrorism.

[u/smallerfattersquire → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

What mask? Its not like he is hidding his clear White supremasist idiology

[u/Bonnieearnold → u/smallerfattersquire]

Which is extra weird because he’s not White (Anglo Saxon Protestant). He’s Jewish. The world he years for is one that will send him (and millions like him) straight to a concentration camp. He thinks he’ll be “one of the good ones.” He won’t be.

[u/Outrageous_Act2564 → u/Bonnieearnold]

He would have been a capo in Hitler's concentration camps. He disgusts me. Even his family hates him. He embarrasses this country.

[u/disharmony-hellride → u/Outrageous_Act2564]

It's wild how many conservative politicians and talk show hosts have families that want nothing to do with them anymore. I mean Jesse Watters had his mom on his Fox News show the first week he was on and she begged him not to become the person he immediately became.

[u/No_Boot1478 → u/Bonnieearnold]

Just like Lindsay. Queer as fuck but out to get them.

[u/deialover → u/Bonnieearnold]

Yes, he is so stupid. The Christian Nationalists will most certainly kill him and his family after he's done their bidding.

[u/Substantial-Sky3597 → u/smallerfattersquire]

Is he the first Jewish Nazi?

[u/4554013 → u/Substantial-Sky3597]

Nah, that's Bibi.

[u/hikerchick29 → u/4554013]

Kissinger

[u/MrIrvington → u/Substantial-Sky3597]

Nope

[u/psychonautvoyager → u/smallerfattersquire]

Agreed. But I think what we don’t know about this monster is far far darker than we even see.

[u/tastesliketurtles → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

It’ll be the same thing that’s at the core of hateful bigots like him and Roger Stone: sad, shameful little boy with mommy issues. With possible bonus features of closeted homosexuality, trans kink, or pedophilia that is common with the most outspoken men of the far-right.

[u/Crafty-Lavishness26 → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

Goebbels reincarnation and a domestic terrorist if there ever was one.

[u/moemegaiota → u/Crafty-Lavishness26]

I always thought he was more of a joyless Himmler.

[u/Luparina123 → u/moemegaiota]

Nah, he and his hateful wife are definitely the Goebbels, hopefully they both end up exactly the same way their heroes did, just minus what they did to their kids.

[u/Illustrious-Fun8324 → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

We should make MAGA a terrorist group.

[u/Floofaramamama → u/Illustrious-Fun8324]

They have made themselves one all on their own.

[u/MoThrowMoAway → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

turn the tables

I wish dude, but the Democratic party would NEVER. Too spineless for that. Too comfortable with the status quo. Comfortable being the controlled opposition.

Guaran-fucken-tee you, the next time the Dems have control of one of the branches, they'll be right back to "Let's reach across the aisle, let's put aside our divisions, let's not stoop to their level..."

And NOTHING will get done. I'd bet my life on it

[u/daretoeatapeach → u/MoThrowMoAway]

Walter Benjamin, before he killed himself fleeing the Nazis, wrote that fascism is the aesthetic takeover of the political. Your comment gets at the heart of why this all started well before Trump.

Not that both sides are the same, The fascists are much worse. But because fascism is a kind of rot, a symptom of a democracy or an empire that is failing. The fascists wouldn't have been able to take hold if people didn't already believe that the system was corrupt and the politicians promises were empty lies. That everything is just a spectacle.

And no one is better at spectacle than the fascists. Once the political has been turned into a spectacle it's just a matter of time before a con man is able to play that game and offer the emptiest of promises and point fingers at the most helpless in order to sweep the nation's coffers of all the value it has left.

[u/PIG20 → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

That's a mask?

[u/SignifiCantFocus → u/PIG20]

Hell yeah! And he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling liberals

[u/GeoisGeo]

Right, has the liberal extremist violence ever even been in the room with us? Name four of its leaders? location of operation? Any events they have caused to harm the general public? Oh what's that? Nothing?

This is conservative hysteria because they cant handle being told they are the problem while knowing full well they are the problem.

[u/jump-blues-5678 → u/GeoisGeo]

They're terrified of the mid terms.

[u/HopefulBuyer9077 → u/[deleted]]

With everything going on, this better be the highest voter turnout in US history.

I don’t know if there will ever be a more important time.

[u/StronglyHeldOpinions → u/HopefulBuyer9077]

IMO that was November 2024 and I was shocked more people didn't realize the stakes.

[u/Nacht-hexen → u/StronglyHeldOpinions]

Same. The apathy is terrifying

[u/WeNotAmBeIs → u/StronglyHeldOpinions]

It's because Trump's first term was easier to ignore for apathetic citizens who don't watch the news. So, going into 2024 those same apathetic voters thought "Eh, his first term wasn't that bad, who cares?"

This term is impossible to ignore. My Mom was full MAGA since 2016 and she renounced Trump a few months ago. I don't see any way she votes for a Democrat, but she's going to stay home on election day because she thinks they're all the same.

[u/Funnyguyinspace → u/HopefulBuyer9077]

Honestly? its scary how many people are just burned out and whatever about politics right now. I know so many people just tuning out.

[u/weresubwoofer → u/Funnyguyinspace]

People don’t need to follow the 24-hour news cycle to know what’s going on.

[u/Clear_Broccoli3 → u/weresubwoofer]

That's true, but also people are doom scrolling because that's basically the default way to engage with social media now. These apps are all made to keep you on them, to keep engaging, and the content that provokes fear or anger is way more effective at doing that than the content that promotes contentment.

As a result people are burned out. Engaging thoughtfully requires work, and most people don't realize they should be doing that until after they've burned out.

[u/Ok-Philosophy-856 → u/Funnyguyinspace]

I’m mostly tuned out - for my own sanity - but definitely voting and voting Dem. I think many people are like me.

[u/Selgeron → u/HopefulBuyer9077]

The most important election was 2016.

[u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace → u/HopefulBuyer9077]

Every single election for the next 20 years will be a more important time. This bullshit isn't going anywhere. We need new leadership and we need to vote out every scumbag before they become engrained in the system. No more incumbents, make them earn your vote. We are pretty fucked already.

[u/ScarInternational161 → u/[deleted]]

Trump isn't doing anything but signing what they put in front of him and clapping his tiny fat fingers when his face is put on something.

Miller, Vought and Thiel are the ones doing EVERYTHING.

Trump couldn't spread soft butter on a piece of toast with his finger without someone talking him through how to do it.

[u/coinneach_stiubhard → u/[deleted]]

The election won't address the actual problem. It will just determine the full transition to or delay in the transition to full fascism.

[u/weresubwoofer → u/coinneach_stiubhard]

This election is our last best change to change anything. If we blow this one, it is game over. For democracy, for the environment, for working people.

[u/hotleadburner → u/weresubwoofer]

Your best chance to change anything is on the ground organizing outside the party structure. An elected official didn't make the labor movement, or the civil rights movement, or the anti-war movement. The movements forced the hands of the politicians. This election is just our best chance at slowing the degradation -- although some would argue that slowing the degradation, when done improperly, causes an accelerant backlash like we saw after Biden. If this election goes against Republicans, the Jeffries/Schumer/Pelosi/Biden style of Dem politics will need to be left behind or there will just be another Trump in 2-6 years.

[u/Malthus777 → u/jump-blues-5678]

Didn’t the special election officials get fired so they are going to rig them anyway?

https://www.votebeat.org/national/2026/07/09/trump-fires-election-assistance-commission-members-hicks-hovland-mccormick/

[u/Neat_Egg_2474 → u/Malthus777]

That’s why blue states need to hold their ground and not rely on Trumps government to help run elections.

[u/Blacksad9999 → u/Malthus777]

They got rid of the EAC, which is an advisory board with 4 positions, 1 of which was already vacant.

The FEC is still intact.

Still, not great, as the EAC oversees voting machines, which means they'll likely try to use those to cheat. I'd hand count everything.

[u/TrueCapitalism → u/Blacksad9999]

We can and should hand count everything. Plenty of states already do so.

[u/Ryan_e3p → u/jump-blues-5678]

Even if midterms were not a concern, they would be pushing this narrative and taking these actions. They've been stating their intentions quite clearly for years now. Shit, they published it in Project 2025. They flat out said that they want a second American Revolution, and in July '24, stated it will "only be bloodless if the left allows it to be".

[u/Lala5789880 → u/jump-blues-5678]

What makes you think they will honor midterms?

[u/4554013 → u/Lala5789880]

That's the tipping point. People still believe election will help or fix things. If we don't have free and fair elections in Nov, we either fight for our freedom or capitulate.

[u/Mekisteus → u/4554013]

And when that Mueller report finally comes out, everyone will have to face the fact that Trump is a criminal and his presidency will be over.

And now that Jan 6 happened, no one can deny how dangerous Trump is and MAGA is doomed.

And as soon as the Epstein files are released, or if Trump just refuses to release them, that's going to put an end to his presidency.

And if we win the midterms...

[u/BetterEveryLeapYear → u/Mekisteus]

Don't forget that when Mahmoud Khalil was abducted by ICE on the Executive's order on the 8th of March 2025 against the direct order of the judiciary, and nobody - judiciary (including law enforcement), legislative, or as a final recourse, the people - nobody batted an eyelid.

That's the day USA ceased to be a nation governed by the rule of law and everything since then has just been the administration shoring up their grip on the levers of power.

They've been abducting American citizen children with cancer and sending them to actual concentration camps without legal recourse and shooting American citizens dead in the street for a year ffs. Nobody is going to do jack shit when the November elections are taken, get a grip people. Push already came to shove and the population as a whole utterly capitulated.

[u/Nintendo6ix4our → u/4554013]

You guys should read some history. Once fascists take over they stay there. The capitulation is already happening: masked assholes are driving around cities harassing people on the street and firing weapons with impunity. Political enemies are being bogged down in bogus prosecutions. Protestors were just sentenced to decades in prison. It's already happening and no one is batting an eye.

[u/MacRapalicious → u/4554013]

Spoiler. We go back to work and nothing happens

[u/GeoisGeo → u/MacRapalicious]

It will never be that easy, have some faith.

[u/xavariel → u/Lala5789880]

They wont. Dems will sweep, because they wont be able to stop the voting process.

But Trump will announce the election is void and null because of FrAUd and everything is RigGEd.

January will be wild and probably violent. Moreso on the Rights side, as per usual.

[u/Dammy-J → u/xavariel]

This entire speech is hinting at using law enforcement as a tool to hinder democrats voting.

[u/concepts_of_a_plan9 → u/xavariel]

Everyone needs to vote no matter what. No matter what bomb threats they say, no matter how many ICE agents they push to shut down polling stations, etc.

However... they're not going to simply let themselves be democratically voted out. You realize that right? We're all going to have to make some very tough decisions collectively between November and January.

[u/RagahRagah → u/Lala5789880]

People need to get real. Very close to 0% chance we get the outcome so many people are convincing themsleves we are gonna get.

[u/Option94 → u/RagahRagah]

You're getting down voted but the reason Trump won't give up on 2020 is he know they cheated but not enough to beat the excessive mail in ballots caused by COVID. He practically admitted that Elon was able to do it. They're just gonna keep rigging them.

[u/RagahRagah → u/Option94]

People downvoting me are fucking delusional.

Trump nearly succeeded in overthrowing our government in 2020 and faced 0 consequences. Back then there were still a lot of people with him that respected democracy and law.

Now he has nothing but psychos and loyalists at his side, a fucking army of mentally disturbed and/or violent untrained thugs with guns who are killing innocent people in the streets (also no consequences there) and has done endless illegal things that have also seen him face 0 consequences.

Then there's Project 2025.

He has done everything and gotten away with all of it. They didn't come this far to just let things happen fairly and hand over the keys. They are relentless and have gotten everything they have wanted. What in the hell has people so convinced we can just vote our way out of this? Please do vote, but be prepared for the reality of the sitauation to hit afterwards.

There is no logical thought process that tells a person who truly understands the gravity of what this regime has done that we are just gonna go vote and this regime is just going to allow the house and sentate to flip. It's not going to happen. People need to stop deluding themselves and be prepared for horrors this November.

[u/Fit-Nectarine5047 → u/RagahRagah]

You are correct 1000% and I’m still not sure how people don’t recognize this. Maybe it’s too upsetting idk.

[u/TinyCarrotHats → u/RagahRagah]

Man, I'm trans and I still have friends who, when told the latest anti-trans laws that passed, respond with a genuine gasp and "that's got to be illegal. That's illegal! It'll get challenged in court."

You know and I know that it doesn't matter if it's illegal, it doesn't matter if it's unconstitutional, and it probably will get challenged in court and they'll find some way to say it's all totally reasonable. But the rest of the country has their heads in the sand and I guarantee you it'll take them personally getting targeted or seriously harmed in some way to get them to realize how bad it is.

[u/seejordan3 → u/jump-blues-5678]

They're terrified of the DSA momentum.

[u/Were_all_dead_anyhow → u/jump-blues-5678]

And they'll cheat and cheat until some left leaning people finally snap. Then they get to respond with violence like they've wanted to the whole time.

They're looking for their Horst Wessel. Wessel was an SA leader in Berlin who was shot by a Communist paramilitary member in 1930. The nazi party was propping him up as a martyr and rallying cry to justify violence against the political left. Even though his death stemmed from a personal apartment dispute, Goebbels systematically mythologized Wessel into an idealistic hero murdered solely for his political beliefs. His marching lyrics were turned into the official Nazi anthem, the Horst-Wessel-Lied, which became a psychological tool to prompt street brawls and frame aggressive Nazi violence as necessary self-defense against a lawless left.

This calculated victim narrative successfully stoked public fear, paving the way for mainstream acceptance of harsher police measures and the eventual destruction of Weimar democracy.

They tried to do a demo-run of this with Charlie Kirk or how Alex Pretti was an "assassin", it didnt catch on, but they keep trying.

[u/Lala5789880 → u/GeoisGeo]

It’s not hysteria. They want a fascist state and telling the people that they cannot fight back against fascism is one of the most basic concepts of fascism

[u/Ok-Replacement9595 → u/Lala5789880]

NDAA had additional funds for this. They are turning the military on American citizens because we were all to lazy and busy and greedy to stop them.

[u/Falling_is_an_Art → u/Ok-Replacement9595]

Not lazy or greedy just defeated and selfish. People feel there is nothing that will change and just work for what’s theirs because the humanity has been driven out of almost everything they interact with day to day. It’s never left vs right or white vs whomever they pick that week. It’s rich and poor and they will make sure there isn’t anything in between. The population always has the numbers and the power to stop this whenever we choose but that would require empathy and understanding which has been the goal to eliminate for decades.

[u/ElectricalChaos → u/GeoisGeo]

They're setting it up so they can justify deploying the military on the protests that are going to erupt in November after they try to pull some shit with the election.

[u/daretoeatapeach → u/ElectricalChaos]

Cue up the Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows..."

[u/itsatoe → u/GeoisGeo]

American Psychological Association Dictionary of Psychology:

projection
[T]he process by which one attributes one’s own individual positive or negative characteristics, affects, and impulses to another person or group.

[u/a_weak_child → u/GeoisGeo]

News flash: these fuckers lie through their teeth and are experts at gaslighting.  Every accusation is a confession.

White supremacist have been shown repeatedly by our own fbi to be the biggest domestic terrorist threats. 

The IDF and Russian mob/gov and others have pushed white supremacist deeper and deeper into the police as well and nurturing those groups.

Now we are seeing them being used by these evil fucks to murder and rape our most vulnerable citizens. 

The racism is just another mask under their top mask. Under it all they are coward traitors, terrified to die, scrabbling for more power to extend their shitty lives and appease their evil overlords 

[u/DisVet54 → u/GeoisGeo]

Sure sounded like the Republican platform to me. Projection, projection, projection - mixed with a dose of propaganda!

[u/DisVet54 → u/DisVet54]

And lest we forget FEAR!

[u/Feeling_Inside_1020 → u/GeoisGeo]

THIS YOUR GUY BRO?

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said the revolution will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

Sounds pretty terroristic to me, and that's just the beginning.

[u/FindOneInEveryCar → u/GeoisGeo]

It's not hysteria. It's laying the groundwork for arresting their political opponents.

[u/RMAPOS → u/GeoisGeo]

It's propaganda designed for the kind of people who watch Fox News and it will 100% work on them.

This isn't designed as an objective truth, this is designed as fear mongering amongst people already vibing with right wing propaganda. The people this is designed to sway have entirely zero insight into the base of the liberal movement and it's ideas.

[u/RetardedRedditRetort → u/GeoisGeo]

They'll plant one at a protest and capture several along with the plant. Dictatorship tactics 101

[u/Outrageous-Tear-8968 → u/GeoisGeo]

I don’t think it’s hysteria. I believe it to be a deliberate strategy to quash dissent. It’s comes directly from the fascist playbook.

[u/Potato_Stains → u/GeoisGeo]

They need to manufacture this shit to keep the Faux Faithful scared.

[u/SnazzyStooge → u/GeoisGeo]

The US hasn't had an extreme left wing element since the Weather Underground.

[u/TieSea]

It's funny the things liberal political terrorism entails is EXACTLY WHAT HIS GOVT AND PRESIDENT ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. FFS.

[u/marvin616 → u/TieSea]

Holy projection Batman!

It read like their checklist. By the time he got to mass incarceration I thought there's nobody that can't put those 2 together but I know there are a lot of people who actively refuse to think.

[u/gargravarr2112 → u/marvin616]

The lack of critical thinking is a design feature of the American system. Makes them so much easier to lead any way they want. And explains the open hatred for the educated.

[u/emefluence → u/TieSea]

1:35 onwards is 100% projection. That is literally what they are doing. What Miller is doing tbh. Trump's just the figurehead / target practice, this is the pathetic fucker is who's pulling all the strings.

[u/Canadian_Border_Czar → u/TieSea]

Welcome to the new Nationalist "Socialist" party.

[u/RIForDIE]

I've been waiting for the ramp up to start going after liberals. We're seeing the beginning of it. Look for trump's speech tonight.. these guys are such whiny bitches.

[u/Its_a_stateofmind → u/RIForDIE]

This is actually quite scary. Is this chess pieces on a board to ultimately hang on to power?

[u/Wagrram → u/Its_a_stateofmind]

Yes, it's all preparation for the elections.

[u/willismthomp → u/Wagrram]

It’s why they are ramping up street murders. To cow you into fear

[u/MrSurly → u/willismthomp]

Frankly, I'm kinda surprised that nobody has pushed back on ICE with "higher stakes resistance" yet.

[u/_Debauchery → u/MrSurly]

I think people are really hoping the midterms put an end to this debacle. If not, i suspect protests will rise beyond marches and speeches into more direct forms of action. 

[u/Parfait_Prestigious → u/_Debauchery]

We already know that the GOP is going to claim election fraud when they lose, and I hope Americans are ready to oust politicians who refuse to leave by any means necessary.

[u/MrSurly → u/Parfait_Prestigious]

Unfortunately, I think you're right. I hope we don't have to reach for the last of the "4 boxes of liberty"

[u/MediocrePangolin6212 → u/Its_a_stateofmind]

Scary is the wrong word because none of us should be scared. Its our country. Its time to dig in and find your bravery and get pissed.

[u/atempestdextre → u/MediocrePangolin6212]

I'm long past the point of being pissed. Anger and rage are the normal feelings these days.

[u/bigsexy12 → u/MediocrePangolin6212]

It's the right word and yes we should be scared. These fascists are ramping up and trying to criminalize their opposition. Getting pissed is fine but we also need to act. To even be brave requires fear, otherwise it's not really bravery.

[u/Healthy-Caregiver997 → u/Its_a_stateofmind]

Global domination by the billionaires with the aid of technology.

[u/TheRealBobbyJones → u/Its_a_stateofmind]

Not for trump. Trump is likely not to live long enough for anything to be worthwhile for him. They are likely setting up for his successor. 

[u/recovery_room → u/RIForDIE]

Rubio just made a speech comparing Liberals to Communists. Now this asshole is calling Liberals terrorists. This is Fascism 101 and it been ramping up for quite a while now.

[u/nhgardenart25 → u/RIForDIE]

I take care of my 90 year old mum who is glued to FOX news. The last couple weeks it’s been all about socialism and communism. Marco Rubio just gave the creepiest speech. We will soon no longer be a democracy. It’s actually pretty scary.

[u/jellitate → u/nhgardenart25]

Please do like I did and block the channels! I told my MIL that we were changing providers and the channel lineup was different.

[u/EnvironmentalLime464 → u/jellitate]

This. If your parents are old enough that you can pull this off, do it. Block all right wing media from the tv and then play dumb as hell about it. “I don’t know. The cable company must have dropped it. I’ll give them a call later and ask.”

[u/This-Substance333 → u/EnvironmentalLime464]

Sounds like they need to be re-educated with some Mr. Rogers Neighborhood...

[u/Bitter-Worldliness41 → u/nhgardenart25]

YouTube video for it the comments section is full of bots with overwhelming “support”. It truly is scary what they’re trying to do here. People like us who even make these comments would likely all be rounded up already if they have their way.

[u/PoliticsIsDepressing → u/nhgardenart25]

I stopped allowing my parents to watch Fox News. It’s fucking brain washing.

[u/Geichalt → u/nhgardenart25]

Conservatives have been trying to destroy democracy since before they tried to leave the union. The Confederacy should have been burned to the ground.

Maybe all the people that whined about how every election can't be the most important one now understand we've always been one election away from losing democracy.

[u/Potato_Stains → u/RIForDIE]

Left: "Everyone in our supposedly first world country is worthy of civic liberty and freedom, affordable healthcare, and safety".

Stephen Miller : "OH MY GODDD THE TERRORISTS"

[u/TX0834 → u/RIForDIE]

They know they are done for. Fuck tRump and fuck Miller and all MAGA. Tonight is pretty much going to see tRump doing a Hitler speech to his base and he’ll just ramble nonsense like always.

[u/DeadNazis247365 → u/RIForDIE]

No point in going quietly when the Feds show up anymore. Our judicial system has fully collapsed. Why would you think you’re going to get a fair day in court anymore?

These mother fuckers will slap the terrorist label on you just for saying you don’t like what ICE is doing. And they will lie and cheat and commit fraud to obtain convictions. Do whatever they have to to make sure you don’t get a fair day in court. Someone in Texas just got sentenced to 30 fucking years in prison for moving a stack of items or some shit.

Might as well go down with the ship at this point. No future.

[u/Technical-Seaweed808 → u/RIForDIE]

Next they will claim that making a two party democracy into a one party is still democracy.

[u/Local_Possible7152]

What a Nazi

[u/TapDancingToucan → u/Local_Possible7152]

sHitler incarnate

[u/HugePast9455 → u/Local_Possible7152]

And this, after the January 6th attempt to literally overturn democracy. Not just the shlubs that attacked the Capitol, but the coordinated political efforts to just walk in a bunch of fake electors votes for the loser that lost. Unbelievable. Scary.

[u/IMOvicki]

This feels like when you watch a movie and are like what could literally never happen in real life……. But like it’s actually happening in real life.

[u/HLOFRND → u/IMOvicki]

The movie Nuremberg (good flick, check it out if you haven’t) leaned pretty heavily into the idea that nothing really separated the Nazis from other people. It happened in Germany bc Germany allowed it.

It can- and will- happen here. It is happening here.

We need to wake the fuck up and get in the streets day after day.

[u/AwambawaAwambawa → u/HLOFRND]

And pull them into streets too. Mano emano

[u/Gallastic → u/AwambawaAwambawa]

Mano a mano*

[u/Designer_Gas_86 → u/Gallastic]

r/boneappletea

[u/PoliticsIsDepressing → u/HLOFRND]

I hate when people treat the Nazis like an exception. No, they were like any other fascist government and can rise again anywhere in the world.

[u/Antique-Big3928 → u/IMOvicki]

Exactly

This 100% sounds like the kind of over-the-top fictional plot line that requires you suspend disbelief, but makes the story juicy.

And somehow it’s actually happening.

[u/Adventurous-Reply-36]

Fascist fuck.

[u/tetrisan]

WTF? He just described in detail what he is doing!

[u/AndJDrake → u/tetrisan]

It's not a confession. It's bragging.

[u/ForensicPathology → u/tetrisan]

Well yes, this is right out of the fascist playbook.  They've already taken great strides towards their own Enabling Act, next is disbanding the other parties to eventually outlaw the creation of new parties.

[u/Gfran856]

Sorry who attacked the Capital again?

[u/NoroGW2 → u/Gfran856]

These dumbasses are convinced it was a peaceful protest, y'know only after coming around to accepting that it wasn't actually secretly a terrorist false-flag attack by antifa.

[u/Suspicious_synth]

I can't wait till this motherfucker is in the private sector

[u/FlowerComfortable889 → u/Suspicious_synth]

I can't wait until he goes back to hiding in his coffin for a few centuries

[u/SandSpecialist2523 → u/Suspicious_synth]

You mean prison?

[u/What_a_fat_one → u/SandSpecialist2523]

Yes a private prison

[u/Helpful_Animal9913]

That's what Hitler did

[u/sometimesifeellikemu]

Oh, fuck off.

[u/AwambawaAwambawa → u/sometimesifeellikemu]

They won’t. They’ll have to be kicked out.

[u/SAHDSeattle → u/sometimesifeellikemu]

Let them take their mask off. Just shows anyone who votes MAGA is an American hating traitor.

“Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.”

Republicans don’t believe in liberty, self governance, a right to private property, or equality under the law.

[u/no_rest_for_the → u/SAHDSeattle]

Also, what's "a republican form of government"? I have heard we have a republic but this one is new. Must be what you just described as their beliefs. Certainly isn't in the Constitution.

[u/PlayingNightcrawlers → u/no_rest_for_the]

He’s basically saying that with the election of Trump and Republicans controlling Congress and the Supreme Court the US is no longer a democracy but a “Republican government”. It means they believe Republicans can never be out of power again and anyone that votes for or supports any other party is the enemy. So literal fascist dictatorship shit.

[u/sjerkyll]

Imagine living in the US, where this tiny incel man dictates national security policies. The US went real fast from White Bald Eagles to White Bald Pedos.

[u/TieSea → u/sjerkyll]

As a bald man, please don't lump me in with this fascist.

[u/robot_pirate]

Trying to couch democrats (liberals) as a threat in the lead up to the midterms, in order to intimidate them from showing up at the polls - or at least not vote for a democratic candidate. Even the way he used the phrase republican form of government was kind of deceitful. Educated people get the actual meaning, but not likely Trump voters. They most likely think it translates to the GOP.

[u/EmotionalTeaching384 → u/robot_pirate]

It certainly functions to intimidate Democrats from voting. But is also serves to motivate their base to vote as it scares the hell out of them. Sadly and frustratingly, it works. Trump gets his voters to vote.

[u/_bufflehead → u/robot_pirate]

He is using the phrase "republican form of government" like a shiny object to distract right-wing nationalists.

A republican form of government involves: majority rule, the absence of monarchy, and the rule of law.

He is deliberately conflating a republican form of government with the republican party, and there are plenty of people who are going to swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

[u/brianishere2]

Stephen Miller does NOT represent any single non-partisan issue. He needs to be investigated, charged and prosecuted for his ongoing crimes against America. He is the person who ordered ICE to INSTIGATE (his words, not mine) physical altercations with innocent protesters and folks with video cameras. He is 1 of several leaders of a criminal conspiracy. In addition to a large-scale national campaign of political violence, which included assault and battery, they also conspired to deprive individuals of their civil rights, which is another federal crime. Stephen Miller is the answer to the question: "What could happen if a criminal President gets hold of pardon power and deploys it against the American people?"

[u/Jealous-Region-1715]

It's weird that he keeps saying "the left" and then describing President Dump

[u/instantkamera → u/Jealous-Region-1715]

He's also conflating liberalism, a thing that classic Republicans are, with leftism. He's completely full of shit.

[u/Thiscatmcnern]

We are just one step closer to the administration asking the maga to hunt down these “traitors”.
They know this midterm could very well be the turning point of the grip fascism has on our country. This could the start of their last stand.

[u/Mr_sludge]

This guy would be full Nazi if he lived in Germany during the 30’s

[u/onlyonequickquestion → u/Mr_sludge]

He's full Nazi now?? 

[u/Mr_sludge → u/onlyonequickquestion]

Meh more like Temu Nazi

[u/dgellow → u/Mr_sludge]

You have to know that if Temu was a thing at the time the nazi party members would be Temu nazis. Movies make them feel well organized, structured, disciplined, stoic. That’s not reality, they were pretty much the same as current white nationalists, a lots of weirdo and dumbasses 

[u/Absalom98]

Mark my words, before the midterms, they will announce the Democratic Party are domestic terrorists.

[u/DaytonScotch → u/Absalom98]

They called themselves domestic terrorists at CPAC a few years ago.

[u/Hells-Bellz → u/Absalom98]

They just did.

[u/garballax → u/Absalom98]

It's been happening already. This is from the 2026 WH counter-terrorism strategy: "In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist."

[u/CanuckInTheMills]

He reads like Mein Kampf

[u/Eponine05]

Can someone just stuff this motherfucker in a locker?!

Clearly, a swirlie won't have much of an effect.

[u/StephenFish → u/[deleted]]

The left wing isn't violent because there isn't one.

[u/KelseyW315]

So Libs are bad but Epsteins buddies are cool

[u/wrecks3]

Every time he says “left wing” replace it with “right wing” and he is just telling the truth.

It will end in gulags and mass imprisonment- that’s is what they are doing with ICE detention camps and they are expanding them now.

It will end in political prisoners and a loss of freedom - that’s exactly what they are calling for in this speech

It will end in bloodshed - who is killing all the ICE victims in the street?

They’ll destroy our government and replace it with a new government- that’s what they are doing right now ignoring the constitution, not following court orders and interfering with people’s ability to vote.

[u/ShrimpleyPibblze]

Fascist bitch

[u/TeranOrSolaran]

Left wing violence such as … what? Wanting socialized universal healthcare?

[u/swift-sentinel]

He's on drugs. Look at him. He's a mess. Drug test him.

[u/ninjadude93]

This guy, what a fucking dweeb

[u/ridetherhombus]

Every accusation in that video is a confession

[u/HighlanderAbruzzese]

So then Full Fascism

[u/Keanu_Reeves93]

How does talk like this not scare the absolute shit out of people? I mean look at the hate speech from the late 1930s and this isn’t far off…when will people start to wake up? When they start rounding up Americans based on their political beliefs? Religion?

[u/Life-Celebration-747]

He needs a psych evaluation. 

[u/Practical-Pick1466]

He's just using the term "Left Wing" instead of Republican.

[u/Spicercakes]

It was so important that Tdump fell asleep at the meeting. Again.

[u/Ryan_e3p]

The Heritage Foundation, who penned Project 2025, boldly said in July 2024 that the "second American Revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."

It's a shame our media has been compromised. They should be all over this. The Heritage Foundation has been openly announcing to the world its intentions to change this country from a democracy to a techno-oligarchy disguised as White Christian Nationalist. They've been saying it for years.

[u/unTraditional_Fox419]

Fuck this guy

[u/Physical_Coffee_9466]

NAZIS

[u/MysteriousReaction43]

Accuse the other side of what you were doing in front of their face

[u/Relevant-Job4901]

As a 65 yr old I’m astounded how many men/women in powerful positions want this and wholeheartedly support Trump.I thought check & balance’s weeded these people out

[u/Slight_Beach_641]

Literally everything hes saying "left wing" will do, is stuff that the current administration is actively doing.
