    For anyone still unsure, it is time to purchase weapons and start training. I don’t care what episode of Real Housewives of Whatever is on this week. It’s time to arm up and accept the reality that you may actually need to take up arms against your government if things continue on the track we’re on. You don’t want to be caught behind the curve on something like this.

    All just because Cuomo lost to a progressive candidate. Americans, please be fully aware what lengths Trump is willing to take for total control

    Must, absolutely must, arm yourselves. Join local militias, self-defense forces, neighborhood Patrol forces, or whatever you call them in your area. Got to prepare.

      Yup.

      If you even dabble in history you know that the best time to purchase firearms and start training was yesterday. The second best time is today.

      This is not alarmist shit. We have crossed some serious thresholds already. Fascism is absolutely here. If enough American citizens make it clear we’re ready to use our 2nd amendment right as originally intended, then we can potentially make them fear enough for their safety to limit their fascist actions before things get really dark.

      Because if we don’t, then this continues spiraling and a lot of people are going to die and it’s going to take a lot longer for things to get back to normal.

      Again, this is not doomsaying. This is real shit. Pick up a history book. We’re already well down the path. The Germans didn’t think it was getting too serious until it was too late.

      Arm yourselves. Help your friends and family arm themselves. Train with them. Put pressure on your state-level politicians to create a state militia.

      It can, and will, happen here if we don’t push back.

      yeah… all the militias in my area are magat infested circlejerks filled with the dough boys or neo-nazis that religiously larp their squeal team six fantasies.

      the only benefit would be the hotwife couples that you could meet but even then the various amounts of VD you would be exposing yourself to would make the endeavor worthless. you’d be safer picking up a prostitute. at least then you wouldn’t have to listen to hours of brainless fox news propaganda just for fifteen minutes of mediocre sex.

        Even more reason to get with like-minded people and create a militia.

        I bet there are more leftists militias and defense groups than you’d think. If somehow there arent then you should look into creating one.

    As a resident of Washington state, I really wish these articles would include D.C. when they refer to the country’s capital. This time, they are referring to D.C.

      It’s a city named Washington which is the most relevant to US politics so it kind of makes sense.

          The city of Washington is located within the District of Columbia. But go ahead with your confidently incorrect statements

          Without context, surely so. With context I think a moment to process is all that is required. I guess it would have been a good idea not to name two important places in the US the same thing.

    The apoplectic establishment reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts. It is suggesting arrest of Netanyahu.

    States and cities are under fire from federal Republicans that either must resort to higher taxes on some people, or significantly increase desperation levels that will increase crime, and validate more the needs for fascist takeovers of cities/states that don’t fund anti-desperation programs.

      It kind of is that too, its a real slippery slope where if people see someone with some fairly mild goals actually improve the lives of the people they have sworn to represent, other people might ask for it in their states. Cant have the people seeing value in a government representing them, how would u be able to balance that while continuing to let the corporations you really represent keep no lube fucking them to death?

      Laws don’t apply to him.

      both because he is legally allowed to break the law, and even if anyone tries to sue him to stop, the supreme court will end the knee and alow it.

      there’s no rule of law in the US.

      asking what law he broke is 100% irrelevant.

    So, to my fellow Americans in NYC, how are those gun laws working out? That’s a smartass question, but more seriously, what will you do when the Gestapo comes rolling down Flatbush Avenue?

    I’ll never find it again, but a few years ago jihadis went rampaging down the streets in Iran, randomly shooting into apartment blocks. All I could think was, “At least that can’t happen here.”

        Oof, coming out of left field with a damn tank over here, when all this guy has is a plastic butter knife and sarcasm.

        You got a link for this? Like, I don’t want it to be true but holy shit, what a sentence.

          I tagged them long ago when they said something along the lines of “come on a 17 year old is really physically an adult” referring to sexuality. I often tag people if they say something sus or fucked up and i often see repeat behavior from them. So in this case I see another weird conservative viewpoint coming up from the same dude, I gotta call them.

          I would find that comment for ya but it honestly might take a long time to do so.
