    I used to get scared to talk about weed on the phone. You don’t disparage a public figure with a hint of violence for fear…

    How TF is this not enough to lock these motherfuckers up? This is the God damn United States of America and these treasonists are threatening our government. Fuck “soft Democrats” - this isn’t about policy. These criminals are promising a coup against our democracy. Why aren’t they in jail? I’m seriously asking. Where the fuck is law enforcement???

      There are a bunch of Supreme Court rulings which basically said the KKK can advocate for violence in general so long as they don’t lay out specifics. That’s what these folks hide behind

          The biggie is Brandenburg vs Ohio, from 1969

          Where that really falls down is when you have social media algorithms selectively showing inflammatory speech to the audience most likely to act on it. This means that inflammatory speech which wouldn’t have caused violence in the 1960s is incredibly likely to do so now.

      Jail is just right-winger free parking until the next putsch, law enforcement is mostly on their side.

        Ugh I hate how right you are. I just assumed federal agencies were above it bc of their black/white sociopathic by design ways.

        I don’t fucking understand this. The old right wingers in govt like the world order in the “new American century” so why aren’t they doing anything?
