That’s where all the engagement and comments can be found, and I’d encourage everyone to participate there.

The reason for THIS post is to direct everyone there.

I’m getting multiple reports that some people can’t see it for some reason. Could be Federation, could be they blocked the user who posted it.

Here’s hoping you all can see THIS one and move over to where everyone else is engaged.

    What the fuck is with all the jokes about missing Trump? Assassinating a political candidate is nothing to be happy about, no matter how you feel about them.

        And you think this would help your cause? This would only motivate the right and make them more brazen. You can change things using violence, and if you do they won’t last. It’s up to the people to defeat them in the elections. Your focus should be on grassroots movements to change the people’s minds, not resort to violence like this. This same thought process is what led to J6 riots.

          Over the last 8 years the right in the US has reorganized into a cult of personality focused on Trump.

      It’s self defense. He’s been threatening our lives for years. If you can’t see that, you are speaking from a position of absolute privilege. Stop victim blaming.

      Just to clarify… Would you’ve said the same thing about Hitler? Americans, specifically Republicans, are very hot about their gun amendment and how it shall be used against some sort of authoritarian uprising. Now one of their nutjobs ended up attempting exactly that. Or he’s a boogaloo dumbo who thought this would incite a civil war.

      How about this isn’t simply a matter of not liking someone? He is a very real threat, and in all honesty, this should have been an official military act. And they wouldn’t have fucking missed. This man can absolutely not be allowed to take office. It cannot happen. And the law doesn’t seem to be making sure he doesn’t.
