You’re damn right. ALL nazis, ALL fascists, and ALL MAGAts DO deserve to be killed. We should go ahead and start that probably.
At what point do we cross the line into, “it was self defense” based merely on his speech? I feel threatened. My fear seems reasonable.
i guess when someone on the internet gives you permission ::eyeroll::
Saying the quiet part aloud doesn’t do anything bad for your image anymore I’m afraid.
Worst part is people thinking he is brave and voting him for it.
The cruelty is the point.
They always say this like nobody is going to fight back.
They always say that like it wont be them.
Speak for yourself sunshine
Everyone that screams for war has never seen it.
Everything with Republicans is projection, I guess? If anyone needs killing it’s the far right people that are planning a coup. Peacefully negotiating with Nazis et al is dicey at best.
Is trump going after the tankie demographic now?
So everyone is consumed by whether or not Biden is fit to run for president - and we have THIS shit going on…
They’re basically screaming “look at the distraction!” and, damn it, it’s working. 😔
If we were talking about what a pot of cracks the current Republican party is running, this election would be a landslide. Instead, we’re stuck debating if Biden will be an effective 85 year old commander in chief.
If Biden had gracefully bowed out two years ago, AS HIS 2020 CAMPAIGN HAD SIGNALED HE WOULD DO, this election would be so much easier and simpler. Kari Lake, post-Jan 6th convicted Trump, Mark Robinson. A whole bunch of loons.
The problem is, he isn’t fit. He’s just less unfit. People are frustrated that instead of a normal, reasonable alternative, they have to pick the less ridiculous of two ridiculous options.
Vote for his administration, not the man
I think part of the problem is that democrats/liberals expect more from their candidates. Republicans just care about winning and destroying the other party.
Welcome to America :)
Oh . . no, they - they’re not Americans. They just have thoughts to share from, y’know wherever. Canada, Germany, . . .other. Places.
Huh, would you look at that…
Well, yes, but I meant it much more broadly - the election threads are full of hot takes from people all over, who all point out, quite correctly, that whatever happens in the election will also end up affecting them.
It’s just an unfortunate circumstance that they don’t have any first hand experience of the process, with it’s many (and sometimes bizarre) quirks, so sometimes the hot takes are not as well informed as they otherwise would be.
I really hate how comments like this frame it. It’s a blatant strawman fallacy.
No shit we all know Trump is bad. Hello? He’s been saying this shit and doing TERRIBLE things for over 8 years now.
The PROBLEM is that for whatever reason, none of this shit is sticking, even when the media covers things like January 6th hearings, his criminal indictments, his impeachments, etc…
So while Biden’s numbers continue to decline and Trump widens his lead, are you REALLY going to sit there and say, “hey guys don’t worry, just one more scandal and this time we got him!”?
So naturally since the cult isn’t changing, we must change ourselves to improve our odds.
But Dems don’t want to change. They want a cult of their very own.
Biden had a raspy voice, tho’.
From now until forever all that the Dems need to say is, “we’re not THEM.”
The Dems don’t ever need to even pretend to stand for anything or to earnestly propose any positive future to their voters.
Biden being unfit and the right being insane are not mutually exclusive. It’s akin to choosing the lesser of two evils, and recognizing that they’re both evil. Meanwhile people are going around online denying that the lesser of two “evils” is evil because it’s not the greater evil.
Biden isn’t a good choice, but I would not say he is evil.
Trump is evil. He is a bigot, a rapist, a liar, a convicted felon, a thief, an insurrectionist, a fascist, a despot, a human trafficker, and a moron.
Akin is an indication of a metaphor!
Yeah, but it falls apart when only one half is actually a metaphor and the other half is just a description of the thing.
No, it’s a metaphor for being unfit and makes sense. If you want to learn more, check out a middle school English textbook.
Now being old is somehow evil?
This is an analogy, indicated by the word “akin.”
Extremist pastor Mark Robinson wants to be North Carolina’s next governor, and his vision for the country is one of bloody ruthlessness.
“Some folks need killing!” Robinson declared in a lengthy sermon delivered on Sunday, which was first reported by The New Republic. “It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity! When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It’s time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.”
Jesus fucking Christ he’s supposed to be a pastor and he’s giving a sermon advocating killing people.
The idiocy of evangelicals is just so thick.
I don’t think it’s idiocy. I think it’s cruel people who delight in doing cruel things. And when a guy like Trump, who has managed to use cruelty to get rich and powerful, comes along and gives them permission to fully indulge their cruellest instincts, makes them feel like it’s right and good, they’ll follow that person straight into hell. They’re so excited to finally be able to go out and hurt all the people they don’t like that there really isn’t any line they’re not willing to cross anymore, no moral they’re not willing to betray, to finally get that.
I don’t even refer to Evangelicals as Christians anymore. They are two different things at this point. If you look at modern Evangelical doctrine and compare it to the ministry Jesus laid down in the Gospels, they are just about as polar opposite as you can get while still name-checking Jesus. I don’t think it’s useful to conflate them anymore because real Christianity, using the actual words of Jesus, might be one of the few effective ways left to argue against all this Evangelical nonsense. I’m honestly surprised that the Christians with real faith aren’t already out there doing it.

I mean the Bible is full of killing and God telling people to kill. Pastors have been full of fire and brimstone for generations. Preaching against immigrants in the US basically since the country was founded, burning witches and calling for slaves to be lynched.
Having grown up a southern Baptist, I can assure you that religion in the South has always been full of this behavior.
Ha ha yeah you right about that. Southern Baptists are the old school batshit crazy religious nuts. Still are, really.
The Old Testament really fucked things up. That’s where you find all the serious, wtf killings. I forget why they created a whole other “New” Testament though.
No no, you don’t understand. You see when they finally win and are in power they are just going to all seppuku themselves.
No. They’d never do anything that helpful.
It’s only okay when they do it because they justify it by using the bible (as they do all their actions).
Not just killing, extrajudicial killing.
If he professes to be an actual Christian it’s even worse than that, but. Point taken.
Obviously he’s an evangelical shithead with zero interest in peace, just like the rest of them.
Yeah otherwise he would remember that guy who stepped up at an extrajudicial killing and said “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone”
You know, Jesus
Who?
Some scruffy looking communist, hangs out with lepers and prostitutes
Eww. Is he at least rich? Does he kick ass and take names? What about a catch phrase, something like, “Ahll be bahck” or “yipee ki yay motherfucker!”?
Well he did say “I’ll be back” but so far has failed to deliver. People have been waiting literally forever!
I listened to an interview on the Friendly Atheist podcast with two hate-preachers. They both advocated for the killing of homosexuals. I don’t think it’s as rare as we might hope.
My very first thought when I read that is he’s advocating for killing LGBQT+ people. They are wicked in their minds. Unnatural. Have been killing them for probably centuries as it is already. Maybe millennia.

You can disagree with him, but having the opinion that people who are “torturing and murdering and raping” need to die is not an unhinged opinion. I would say that many of them dying would be a just punishment.
Advocating for extrajudicial murders is fucking insane and the very notion that you’re trying so very hard to defend it is unhinged.
You’re a piece of shit.
Hey look, a morally bankrupt opinion on an ethical matter from .ml
Shocking.
👎
And this guy is a pastor. Not sure if he’s read the bible?
“Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.”
So… in his view, one of the jobs of police is to go kill people who are ‘wicked’. Great. Sure would be nice if the GOP wasn’t completely fucking insane these days.
Until the leopards eat his face.
No shit. Talk about completely clueless. Like dude you realize they still hang ppl like you in some states if you’re out after dark, right???
Have you read the bible? There’s an awful lot of killing in it.
There’s this important guideline said to have been handed down from a supernatural entity , “Thou shalt not kill”. Of course, that’s not followed in the Bible either.
"Murder. The Fifth Commandment. But, if you give it a little thought, you realize that religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
To cite a few examples, just think about Northern Ireland, the Middle East, the Crusades, the Inquisition, our own abortion-doctor killings and, yes, the World Trade Center to see how seriously religious people take Thou Shalt Not Kill. Apparently, to religious folks—especially the truly devout—murder is negotiable. It just depends on who’s doing the killing and who’s getting killed."
RIP St. George Carlin
This article says he’s a pastor, but upon searching for confirmation, cannot find it.

For fuck’s sake Republicans, be better then this.
They don’t want to be better. They want to be even worse.
In the section about his personal life, it says that he is sometimes invited to preach at churches. I think that’s about the extent of it.
Yeah, and what should happen if “those boys in blue” are the ones doing evil things? Some other group should kill them? Seems like an endless cycle. How/why is this preacher considered a good guy?
Just another example of the right saying the quiet part out loud.
Make no mistake about it - these aren’t just idle threats or emotive rhetoric. These people genuinely want you dead.
torturing and murdering and raping
So DeSantes, Jan 6th rioters, and Trump?
So is it reasonable to panic right now? Are we cruising right into a fucking civil war?
Yes. And yes again.
Awesome.
“No” and “yes” respectively. The proper reaction is preparation, not “panic.”
