Nobody is posting stormtroopers on street corners in the south.

If they do, standby for a show.

Right wingers masturbate to videos of Trump while using their AR-15 as a dildo. They welcome fascism. They literally get off to it.

just because you're not seeing them doesn't mean they're not there. it just means you're not looking

If you're so tough and willing to defend freedom is a car rental or plane ticket that's stopping you? Go fight fascism
