Democrats cancel Central Texas event after Trump supporters surround, follow Biden bus on I-35

How has the driver of that truck not been identified and arrested?

My biggest concern for civil war 2 is that the military and law enforcement are white supremacist institutions.

I don't. I hope they proudly put themselves out there as they have been, and then are hammered the fuck down. And again and again and again. I hope ostracization follows them for the rest of their lives.

Nah. Still got some fight in us, we ain't letting liberty's torch die quite yet.

Germany and Germans within it did not just lay down and let democracy die. I know what you're trying to say and all, but that's a rather shitty thing to say about all of those who did fight and protest to try and save their countries. Do you really think that when fascism toppled democracy throughout our history, no one fought against it? No one tried to vote against it? Protest against it? America is not special in that regard

Once again we see a group of people that take the low road, and a group of people take the high road. If a plan for 'peaceful protest' involves using a vehicle as a weapon then that is premeditated. Maybe there is a way to find out how they organized this recreation of the movie Fury Road and they will be prosecuted for reckless endangerment at the least. I am hesitant to compare the messy trail they leave to slugs and snails because I like slugs and snails. Hopefully these horrible people will be salted in the sun soon.

Lol going after me? The fuck? I'm not saying the people of the Weimar Republic were weak. I'm not diminishing their suffering or their sacrifice. But ultimately the Weimar Republic did fail and that dude was saying we are already victims of the same fate. I am not ready to just accept that we all we can do is for naught and that a massive genocidal dictatorship is what comes next. The statement is about ourselves.

Yeah, I live in this country, you can fuck all the way off with this shit. Even if I agree with your goal a lot of people are going to suffer if shit goes sideways.

I am not American. It wouldn't be mine. It's for your sake, it's for everyone's sake...

And the minorities of America have more reason than any other to revolt against the system. The BLM movement is already the largest in American history, and it didn't start under Trump's administration. This shit isn't a problem exclusive to Republicans, it's an American institutional problem that needs to die in it's entirety. Nothing is gonna truly change under Biden, he just wants things to "go back to where they were", which is the exact same shit that killed Micheal Brown and Eric Garner.

Yet accepting we will suffer Weimar's fate is giving up the fight. Not Weimar giving up, us. I'm standing here saying we can still do this. That we still have the chance to avoid all that happened to Nazi Germany and we don't need mass slaughter on that kind of scale to wake us up and make things better. This is our time, right now, to make better happen. That is my statement and is all I will say.

 

[Zoe]

why was the white car in both lanes? Why did the truck swerve into him? Why do people drive like this lol

Click to shrink...

The white car was a staffer following the bus. The bus switched lanes and the staffer tried to follow, but the black truck swooped in to take the spot.

The truck didn't "swerve" into them. They deliberately used the truck to push the staffer back into the other lane.

[Dan-o]

These kinds of things don't just happen... There's planning and calls to action that take place in order to convince this many people that they need to leave their house, get in their trucks, drive down to I-35, and take part in this kind of shit.
It's not the same, but reminds me of the two opposing protests that were organized across from each other in downtown Houston once. Turned out both were spearheaded by one group of Russian trolls or something like that, hoping to cause a fight.
In this case, I don't know any specifics, but these people are obviously organized and encouraged somewhere to show up and tail this Biden/Harris bus. Scary shit, IMO...

Spoken like a true commie wishing for the good old days of the gulags and Doctors' plots. But hey, accelerationism totally works, which is why you'd have supported the overthrow of the Shah so that Iranians may one day... eventually... end up in a communist utopia.

Good Lord, I was clearly just pointing out poor wording that made it seem like those people just gave up and the good ol' USA won't let that happen. I even said in that post I know it wasn't meant that way, but it was a shitty way of that saying it. That's all. Did I hit some kind of American exceptionalism chord here or something? I have no idea what to make of these responses

Sweden was supposed to be the fucking welfare state, the humanitarian country of the world, we are talking about peace yet selling weapons to mass murdering dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, we closed our borders when refugees fleeing the very fucking wars we sponsor came to us for safety and refuge, we are loosing our healthcare to privatization, every single year we don't really talk about expanding our welfare or improving it, just "preserving" the ones we got, while more concessions and exemptions are given to the rich and the workers here loose more and are burdened with more work!

"Many people are suffering now, but an indefinite period of extreme suffering will fix all suffering someday, eventually," the wise man said, bowing his head solemnly. The wise man continues. "You should be lucky that I have deigned that you should live in a theocracy for multiple generations so that someday your grandchildren might live in paradise."

Your arguments are driven by a lack of empathy while you believe you have an abundance of it. And if you really want this to work, why don't you focus on installing a right wing theocracy in your country first. Once that finally gives way to true utopia, somehow, then we'll consider it over here.

I think there was a miscommunication regarding the intended message. Generally "end of a country" is taken to mean "total collapse of governmental order" and that rarely happens peacefully and is accompanied by chaos and death.

What you probably meant was abandoning certain ideologies and replacing them with new, better ones? However, a lot of people living in the country don't think "ideology equals country" so someone saying a country will be gone is going to hurt them regardless of their opinion of capitalism for example.

It wasn't long ago when one of these Hate Parade assholes opened fire out of their car in Ohio.

They'd been reported to the police previously that day as operating dangerously on the roads, and wow did the cops have a lot of excuses for them to not do anything about it. I think one of them was, no joke, all their helicopters were in service so they were only responding to emergency calls. Could've been true, I grant, but it was exceedingly convenient for all involved (planned?), and it's not like they pull over people with traffic copters, or that they'd be hard to miss, driving 40 MPH on 70 MPH highways and harassing other drivers.
