    The conservatives have been stroking themselves for decades over the notion of a civil war. What they really mean by this is a permission structure to murder the people they don’t like - if they get to be in death squads under a fascist regime, that is basically serving the same function for them. As long as they get to kill anyone that doesn’t agree with regressive nonsense/isn’t sufficiently “maga” (baby-word meaning loyalty to Taco), anyone that is smarter than them/more educated than them, Blacks, uppity women, non-xtians, anyone speaking a foreign language, Jews, certain media figures and Hollywood celebrities, anyone in the Democratic Party, etc.

    They really upped the ante ever since about 2015 or so. It went off the charts when Taco “won” in 2016.

    Not surprised to see they are still egging it on.

      I’ve literally seen decals on trucks that say “kill your local pedophile.”

      They call everyone who doesn’t agree with them a “pedophile,” so they’re just advertising in plain sight that they’re looking to kill someone.

      The U.S. loves its sociopaths.

        At one point, especially after Donvict’s first election, it seemed like much of the comments I was seeing on Diaspora - until I started to have to start blocking the worst offenders - was from Nazis who couldn’t wait to start killing “Communists” and “cultural Marxists”.

        Which they use in nearly the same way the Qanon/Pizzagate dumbasses talk about “pedophiles”. It’s a very loose definition that just encompasses “people I don’t like”.
