He is a fucking traitor. We have literally executed people in this country for the same crimes he is alleged to have committed. Ignoring that really serves to undermine the severity of the situation.

Not to mention the tradition. Sharpen your pitchforks, y'all.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here?

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Authoritarians do not leave office over something trivial like losing a vote. Or have you just not been paying attention to history at all?

If Trump gets in again, Republicans won't be losing power through vote again.

Don't be pedantic. I was clarifying what the previous poster meant by their comment since it was kind of nebulous.

I'm fully aware of the dangers of authoritarianism historically, presently, and in the future.

I would infer it as the "peasants revolt" using farm instruments instead of purposely design weapons if war to defend you and yours, and to overthrow tyrants.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I realize that now. It was more the "tradition" part that had me confused. Either way, appreciate the more friendly explanation 😉

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then why any confusion on pitchforks? If authoritarians take over ...

T00l_shed gets it.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

See my above comment. It wasn't the pitchfork part I was confused about.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure a pitchfork is going to do anything if he succeeds in the way you are implying. You're gonna want a gun.

Rats jumping off a sinking ship. These pussies say this shit years after all of us with sense have been echoing this point.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I called him a clear and present danger six years ago. Where's my book deal?

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

all of his supporters are traitors as well

And I'll STILL vote for him because my hate for Gay and Black Kids transcends my Love for America!

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The America they love doesn’t have LGBTQIA+ or black people.

They don’t want them in their country.

[-] ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Patriots, to arms

[-] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Either Kelly or Mattis, gotta be.

They’ve both spoken out publicly before though, right? Article said this person hasn’t.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Geez he gets greasier in every picture lately. Guh.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That is the complete truth for sure.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
