I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.
It has always required force.

Stopping these terrorists with force is a moral necessity if no other way exists.
no other way does exist. Those no kings protests were nice and all but what exactly even remotely, slightly, changed? nothing. they trucked ahead like they will continue to do.
Democrat politicians will continue to chirp on twitter and make awesome tiktok vids but that's all it is at the end of the day, talk. I can only watch so many committee hearings and just know "why am I wasting my time watching this? it's just a dog and pony show and nothing will come of it."
Look I admire AOC and Bernie and the rest of them but peaceful protesting is just going to paint a target on their backs for when they come for them and make no mistake, they will.
I just think Americans should "make it harder" for when the nazi's eventually do come knocking.
I don’t disagree entirely, but I think we’re just slightly off here. Part of the momentum behind Mamdani’s primary win in NY is the foundational movement building that Bernie and AOC have been doing for years, and particularly with the fight oligarchy tour. This is not nothing; NY mayor is one of the most important positions we could capture, even if it’s not radical.
I agree that we don’t have time for these mainstream do-nothing Democratic politicians like Cory Booker, Hakim Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer. Fuck em. But if we organize and fight, we can make electoral strategy a key part of our agenda and actually win. Elections are not the only space where we can fight and win too!
Let’s not be overly optimistic OR pessimistic at this point. We’re getting close, but we’re not there yet. I think we can still turn this around without organizing militias, even though it absolutely constitutes legitimate self defense at this point.

If there is some god... I hope hell is a place reserved for this people...
before their own painfull death... I hope they suffer, they have to watch all their beloved people, siblings and offspring die horrible painfull deaths and everyone they hold dear suffer, suffer and suffer... until they die as the oldest humans in ages, bound in a catatonic state for decades and I will gleefully keep the machines running that keep them alive!
And people wonder why I despise all religious institutions, no matter the flavour of their business selling people an empty shell they named hope.

They're all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, 'No, you're not going to have our children!'
Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community
That's what he means. He wants them pure for when he SA's them.
To evangelicals statistics are devil magic
TBF, I'm an engineer and I consider statistics dark magic... Only less so than its satanic cousin: probability.

Religion is incompatible with civilised life.
Religion is an endemic mental illness. I'd say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don't want to hear anything about it, or it's off to the mental institution.

Heresy. Full stop. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. That church is run by heretics, and needs to be called out as such.
The red letter texts of Jesus' own teachings take precedent over any conflicting verses, and those teachings say to love thy neighbor as you would yourself.
I seriously hope that church has a nice big flat wall for someone to graffiti.
Is this the peace and love they’re always telling us this Jesus guy talks about?
This isn’t a church. It is a PAC that is doing this. If you buy Chick Fil A they are whom you are supporting.

Child rapists: kill the gays! They hurt children!
I honestly have to wonder why civil war hasn't broken out yet in the USA.
Like, I'm reminded of Calvin Candie saying "and it wouldn't've taken me no fifty years to do it, neither".
Most people that oppose Trump also follow an ethical code that abohrs violence.
The talking points among people I know here include constantly referencing a study that indicates non-violent opposition is more frequently effective than violent opposition. I suspect that study is a little simplistic, but may have its point.
The problem is, a lot of liberals think that showing up for a 14 June style protest (with permits and police escort) is the full extent of 'non-violent' resistance.
It's taking them a minute to catch on that more, much more, will be needed.
The next step has to be introducing other non-violent tactics - ones that are far less pleasant than bringing a sign to a giant street party on a Saturday afternoon.
Tactics that might involve being arrested (despite not attacking anyone), losing income or your job (work strike), or ending up in a detention facility.
No one wants to do this. This is like getting a cancer diagnosis and not wanting chemo, not wanting to count your expected remaining life in months instead of decades.
Most people will do what most people do - 'see how it goes'. Until they can't anymore.
This is the denial and bargaining stage of a fascism diagnosis.
Remember lol remember when our country used to execute traitors? Ha ha those were the days...
If I'm not being clear: fuck this administration 🖕🤬🖕
There's no love like an Evangelical Christian fatwa. It's what Jesus would do, amirite?
So the guy preaching this is either gay or touching someone's kids. It never fails. Antmyine want to make bets on how long it takes for them to be exposed?
these people quote whatever the fuck pleases them today.
the bible literally says to feed the poor and house the homeless and these fucks don't mention it with a word
it's literally just a way to manipulate lots of people in whatever way the rulers prefer

My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I've ever met. I've tried to introduce her to the "Leopards Eating People's Faces Party" concept but she doesn't understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she's a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don't have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can't accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.
She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.

Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren't virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.
It also says when a woman has her period she should take 2 pigeons and burn them as sacrifice. Which I do every month OBVIOUSLY

When asked to respond to Falco's inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was "only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands."
This is the "reserved" and "compromise" position in their eyes.

As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.

"The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands."
Ah yes, Jesus was famously pro-death penalty as long as only the state was enforcing it.
Well yeah, Jesus had first hand experience in the state enforcing the death penalty.

"walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children"
someone's projecting
The video from "The Playground" darknet site shows Evangelical churches are heavily involved in the child sex slavery trade.
As a trans army veteran, this shit is so infuriating and exhausting to me it’s almost fucking surreal.
We have pedophilic draft dodgers running our government into the ground, anti-social robber barons throwing gasoline on the cultural firestorm with social media algorithms, ICE agents disappearing asylum seekers to be tortured in foreign lands without due process, speakers and representatives bringing nothing but bullshit excuses or outright lies to the table, which of course has our country’s reputation stewing in a trailer park septic tank…
… Meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.
What kind of “society” are we trying to make here exactly?
At some point the people with empathy have to do violence on the people without.
We outnumber them. Don’t base it on online. Base it on in person. Online is OVERRUN with bots and trolls. It’s not fucking real. It’s a big fucking lie to scare you into giving up.
Don’t.
Right wing religious conservatives being pedophiles?
How fathomably believable.

Someone really should investigate that preacher because there is a near 100% chance he is a pedophile.

Normal people don't look at others and think "they want our children [sexually]." 🤮 I'm unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy's computer and keep him away from children...

In a sermon titled, "Pray the Gay Away," Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, "They're all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, 'No, you're not going to have our children!'"
What a disgusting message. I wouldn’t be sad if this sack of shit got hit by a bus.

The Satanic Temple should just take the tax-exempt status and start endorsing candidates lmfao
meanwhile, my family: "just don't be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don't need to leave"
... Right, I'm sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I'm sure with how quickly things are progressing I'll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

Remove their tax-exempt status. The distinct separation of church and state should prevent this murderous group of sycophants from tax-free status.
Did Jesus ever say a single word about LGBTQIA+ issues ever?

Historically, the demographic most likely to sexually assault children is straight men.
Does that mean we should kill all the straight men?
