A conservative plan forĀ Donald TrumpāsĀ potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The sectionās author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump ādo everything possible to obtain finalityā on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president ofĀ America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking āwokeā companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trumpās approach to theĀ death penaltyĀ stands in stark contrast to that of PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who has openly opposed theĀ death penalty, but doneĀ littleĀ to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.
For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.
Jesus: donāt abort those fetuses because life begins at conception.
Also Jesus: fuck these adults, let them fry.
Very cool and consistent, a serious political party here.
You frame it as a contradiction, but this is very nakedly the nature of a patriarchal theocracy.
Thereās no real conflict between the view of a dictatorial Israeli King as someone who treats woman as chattel and endorses state execution of prisoners. This is all over the old testament and common enough in the New Testament Letters from Paul not to be remarkable.
Very cool and consistent, a serious political party here.
Theyāre deadly serious. Itās the 1980s all over again, folks.
Look, can we just collectively agree ā all of us who are left of center ā to work together and set our differences aside until after this election? Now really isnāt the time for us to be divided. We need to first curb stomp the fascists, so we donāt all get killed
If you are participating in the two party system, youāre either supporting or enabling fascism.
They want blood. No matter the route. If I can ask anything of my fellow liberals is that you arm yourselfs. Iām not saying we take to the streets with weapons. Iām saying we should all be prepared for the absolute insanity that may ensue if he actually wins
execute death row inmates
= arm yourselves!
Americans are so silly, youāll never outgun the US military
You ever heard of guerilla tactics? An authoritarian army doesnāt need to be out gunned to have a really bad time
You ever heard of guerilla tactics?
The country of Vietnam lost millions of its people to push out some 50-60k US soldiers. Quite a few of them died in hideous fashion. Burned alive by napalm. Poisoned by nerve gas. Tied up and thrown in a ditch, then buried alive. Tortured in prison camps for weeks, before succumbing.
Weāre seeing the same shit play out in Palestine, under the Israeli occupation. Nightmarish brutality inflicted on insurgents, on neighborhoods where those insurgents lived, on friends and family with even the most tangential relationship to the insurgency. On people a thousand miles away who show the most pacifist support for human rights.
Can a guerrilla war win? Sure. Over 15-30 years, a persistent armed resistance can potentially overcome the cost-constrained and geographically removed military occupation. Will you live to see the end? Ho Chi Min didnāt. Sitting Bull didnāt. Che Guevera didnāt.
A highly public series of rapid-fire executions gives Trump some very immediate media āwinsā.
And when you review the list of death row inmates its easy to see how conservatives can twist any objection to execution as endorsement of police slayings, carjackings, kidnappings, and child murder.
Right-wing news will have a field day announcing āDaniel Troya, the man who murdered an entire family in cold blood JUST GOT HIS DAY OF JUSTICE!ā with swooping infographics and blaring trumpets. Drag on some Project Veritas stooge with B-roll footage of a crying pink haired college kid and topping it off with āWOKE LIBERALS ARE SO OWNED!ā and youāll have a fascist feeding frenzy.
Iām saying we should all be prepared for the absolute insanity that may ensue if he actually wins
Real Helms Deep Hours.
