They are going to do it anyway. Have we learned NOTHING? They will create the situation when they are in place and ready to enforce it.
Until they do, the implicit threat hangs over you and you waste valuable time wondering about when it will happen or who will cause it to happen.
MAGA are certainly not the only people who have chosen what to believe based on what is convenient for them to believe, rather than the truth.
If anything it just convinces me that complying is as dangerous as not complying. They will kill you either way for their show.
Whoever, whatever he is, I have now seen his video and everyone should be outraged and concerned about how casually he executed her when we can clearly see she didn't intend him any harm and was only obeying the orders she was being given.
He is a psychopath. He should have been weeded out in basic training and banned from every owning a gun, but that's not America.
Right now is the time to insist they run candidates who will actually work for the people. No more fascist enablers.
It just shows how depraved they are that they think this exonerates him.
He brought his phone to film, he checked the license before walking around and executing her.
This was premeditated and likely targeted.
And now, we have obviously edited video from his perspective. It is worse than a bad Hollywood movie.
This was not an accident
If they have supported this regime in any way along the way, REPLACE them and hold them accountable.
I'm a rule follower. I have always been a rule follower. When I was a kid, I was entered into a show where moms made matching outfits for their daughters and their dolls. We were told to follow the white lines around a tennis court so that everyone could see us. I took it literally. I walked that line like a tightrope, heel to toe, never stepping off the line and creating havoc behind me as the other kids piled up in a traffic jam.
I'm the opposite of most people I know. I still read instructions before assembling anything or plugging in anything new.
I feel very fortunate that I was able to translate that into a career and I think it is probably the skill most people value me for - knowing the rules and how to work ethically and effectively within those walls.
But even I know when rules should be abandoned or ignored. It is not in moments of self interest, or when the chance of profit outweighs the risk, it is when the rules are used against entire communities and populations.
It is now.
