During the last election, there were a band of Yahoo’s running around with a spray paint marker putting blue dots in front of houses that had Democrat yard signs.

They’re preparing for civil war. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but they are marking targets.

For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.

And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.

No. you’re just trying to stir up a civil war. People need to go drink tea with their neighbours, now.

Ahh , yes two sugars please.

Now tell me again why you feel that forcing a mother with a fatal pregnancy to go full term to kill herself is better than a boarding the fetus.

Well you see, other people, not this girl would take advantage of it. And she’s in God’s hands anyway.

Mmm, this is quite good is it Yorkshire Gold?

And when a child shows up to your door and rings the bell looking for help how is it that you believe you’re in the right to shoot them in the face?

Well, you see, man has to protect himself…

I really don’t think I could stomach tea with these people.

They’re already arming themselves for a civil war and openly calling themselves domestic terrorists, and your response is tea? You’re naive if you think neighborliness is enough to avoid the coming conflict, they’ve already killed Americans.

If you’re from denmark I don’t think you can appreciate how radicalized these neighbors have become through extremist news and social media.

That doesn’t matter

All that matters is the side the army takes

Now if you’re looking to start a terrorist group, that would be much more effective than buying a gun. However there are obvious downsides to that too

His address is public record. You can look it up on the county auditor’s web site.

Voter registration records, including party affiliation, are also public records in Ohio.

My God that headline is terrible. That’s the most sane shit he said.

“When people ask me…What’s gonna happen if the Flip — Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say…write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo…when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live…We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families…who supported their arrival!” the post said.

He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.

The “locust” bit is getting far too little attention. The history of comparing undesirable populations with vermin is long and filled with horrific violence.

“locust” is for those times when nazi rhetoric doesn’t feel biblical enough.

So, par for the course with US law enforcement.

Keeping a list of people openly putting out fascist paraphernalia is a good thing because people like this hide as soon as the wind turns against them. Don’t let them fade into the background.

MAGAt Map is like Family Watchdog. It provides locations to avoid for safety.

The Ohio Sheriff is advocating lists for retribution and mob violence using a position of power.

I hope you can see the difference.
