Remember those chuds in a pickup truck who basically hunted down and murdered a black jogger under the suspicion he was up to no good?
Yeah, get ready for that happening every other day.
Hate crimes went up 20% during Trump's last term. Hate crime related murders were at a 28-year high.
yeah I'm gay and I tried telling my family we should leave, at least to a more blue state, and they brushed me off; and indeed all I had to say was
"ok, well, when I'm the victim of a hate crime I want you to know I told you so. The German 'undesirables' who survived Nazi Germany were the ones who saw the writing on the wall and got the fuck out early while they could. The ones who who wanted to stick around and wait to see how bad it got, they were lead to the gas chambers. After they had their property seized and were brutalized for years at the hands of their government + any other German citizen who wanted to 'do their part'."
nothing else I can do but wait, so... hopefully it's quick. I've resisted getting a gun all this time because I struggle with depression, but there may come a point in the near future where a bullet will be a mercy, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
I feel for you. I'm a German American dude married into a family of Salvadoreños and we have illegals in our circle of friends/family. Very few of my family members are taking this seriously or treating it with the level of concern it deserves. People just don't have the capacity to understand unmitigated corruption and evil. Most people have something that stops them from being shitlords, whether it's their god, some sort of moral compass, a desire to be liked by others, or whatever. Trump and company don't have that at all. It's pure evil and corruption to the core. It will not be pretty when these two groups and their goals clash.
I hope you can eventually find your way to a blue state, but I'm honestly not even sure that's enough when they're planning on sending national guardsmen from red states into blue states to do their bidding. Couple that with the fact that elections are effectively over in this country and it paints a horrifying picture for the country and the rest of the world.
I've had thoughts about checking out that I can't share with family or really even online for the sake of triggering others and for fear of giving the thoughts credibility in my mind. I have a wife and two young kids that depend on me, so I suppose I will do my best. Their German passports arrive this week and we leave shortly before inauguration day.
Trump's tariffs will wreck Europe's economy. Refugees from Ukraine will come pouring in. AfD will continue to make gains in Germany. CDU will probably win the snap elections that are coming after Scholz loses his vote of confidence. They'll eventually work with AfD as voter pressure ramps up and thus give AfD credibility in the coming years.
I'd still take my chances with Germany rather than stay within the USA.
I feel the same way about gun ownership. I've avoided it as I have depression. Previously, it was a pretty easy decision.
The rise of fascism has changed the calculus for me. It may be time to arm myself.
What are they doing on the days in between?
They'll only be able to afford running the truck every other day. Remember, most of the people doing these sorts of things will be poor, uneducated, and easily duped into fighting other poor people. When their truck costs an arm and a dick to fill up, and their grocery bill goes up by 50%, and all their imported goods go through the roof too; you can't just have a pogrom every day! You gotta space that shit out, that's just economics.
Don't worry, they'll tax and fine green energy to subsidize fossil fuels and truck nuts.

Gary orgies to celebrate
Are you using orgy as a verb there
Gary's a hell of a guy!
Gary's orgies are the best.
I know way too many fellow Leftists who are too scared to train with firearms. And i don't trust my lefty friends to borrow mine since most of them refuse to be interested in weapon safety.
Y'all are fucked if these MAGA dipshits try to fuck around. Republicans have co-opted the 2nd Amendment as their entire parties identity. Now y'all are suddenly realizing why it was so important to have personal ownership of firearms codified in the Constitution?
Gun class was filled with liberals this week.
They were also too scared to vote too. About 15 million of them decided not to vote this time around. 😩
Many leftists are armed already.
Personally, I'm not currently. I struggle with suicidal ideation and have been concerned about having access to guns.
With the rise of fascism, I think it's time.
Remember, you can be more debilitating to the organization without murdering dipshits.
In order to crack down on us, they are going to need transportation, communication and bureaucracy. Burn records, file false anonymous reports, glue bricks to the road, disable mass surveillance. All things that will take them longer to fix/replace than a racist yokel with a shotgun.
People who vote dem are almost as likely to own a gun as right wingers outside of your fantasies and imaginary friends
