    Politics is war by other means.

    This is what you need to understand: these organizations seek power. All of them, even the Republican party. You want an environment where you can agree to disagree, where you sell your ideals and ideas to the people and they decide, that’s not how any of this works. Your opponents know what the game is. If they win they plan on never letting you pitch your ideas to the public again. If you intend to value 1A, 2A, 4A then you should seek to dominate and destroy your opponents and then institute your ideals. If you intend to take freedom away I hope you fail along with them and that your movement crumbles and dies.

      “…even the Republican party.”

      You say that like they’re not the worst offender. They attempted a coup, and the majority of those corrupt pieces of garbage are still in their positions. They’re about to shut down the government in an effort to derail Trump going to jail. The level of cognitive dissonance that your statement represents is impressive.

        This thread is in a conservative community. I’m talking to conservative people.

        Also your idea that your team is any better is bullshit. There was no attempted coup, you just want to see your political opponents raped in prison, that’s the kind of person you are.

          It’s a sad alternate reality you live in where an attempt to steal an election, where cult member supporters of your president, at his prompting, were literally setting up gallows to hang the vice president. You think that is somehow the same as the other party. Have You even watched the endless public testimony talking about how Trump knew he lost? Have You seen his recent death threats against general Millie?

          There is no safe space for newsmax Russian propaganda brainwashed morons on Lemmy. I was a member of the Republican party for 20 years, I was an NRA member as well. They’ve gone nuts. Trump is he in the stage of terminal cancer. Have fun watching him go to jail.

            Lemmy is a public protocol and open source server software, there’s literally room for everyone on it and there’s nothing you can do about that.

      The call is coming from inside the house
