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.
I hear that. But who is going to enforce it? The cops? The army? I don’t see that happening. They would attack themselves.
Every fascist movement has its paramilitary. Hitler had his Brownshirts, Mussolini had his Blackshirts, and Trump has his Redhats.
Sorry, but IBM bought it so it’s evil now. I don’t make the rules.

(Whether I’m still talking about WWII or more recent shit IBM did is left as an exercise for the reader.)
It wouldn’t be the cops or the army, it would be his Proud Boys aligned supporters, a la the attempt to kidnap the governor of Michigan.
I dont know if you know, the CIA did a infiltration of a local dad group. Funded them with CIA money to buy guns, ammo, the entire op, planted themselves inside, pushed ideas by asking leading hypothetical questions, coerced them to act in certain suspicious ways.
CIA are the worst thing that 'Muricans have as an agency. Instead of “keep 'Murica safe” they do these BS things which they did all over the world to destabilize legitimate govts.
I wouldnt put it past the cIA to have “setup” a deranged individual with ideas to go do stuff at a rally.
Not the CIA, they can’t operate inside the United States, but yes, the FBI does radicalization exercises like this quite often:

The proud boys are in jail. Their leaders are in shambles after January 6th.
