You want to close down this forum because of a Stephen Miller comment or because there are people on the extremes who think that they want a civil war? For a while now you've had plenty of people calling for violence in order to get what they want. I've seen the left say that multiple times that they need to get violent (w/e that means I dont know or care). I'd imagine that

Come on.
You know how trump operates …

He send Miller to test the water because trump
Knows this is another major escalation step .

After all , trump just started sending military personnel throughout the country .
Previously tried to overturn an election .
Admitted that the constitution wasn’t necessary to be respected which he showed in his second term .

Like another poster said , it’s the frog in the boiling water and to dismiss it like a nothing burger when the water getting already pretty boiling …

I mean seriously, take trump action and imagine the words republicans would have used if it was done by a democrat president ….

That administration which miller is a part of was suppose to go after illegal immigration and project 2025 was a joke .

While seem anyone that knew it was not bs we’re right and it’s exactly what’s happening .

Now it’s not just illegal, it’s legal immigration, rightful citizen and now democrats ….

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller

I’m shocked so many here aren’t taking this seriously ….
It’s exactly what’s happening .

If right wingers support a person in his cabinet(?) implying that we are currently in a "revolution" (civil war based on context) then yeah I think we should just shut the whole thing down. Its over, there is no point in debate anymore. I don't know where you see this all going but its certainly not towards a peaceful handoff in 2028. "Sorry for all the rhetoric and illegal

There is still reason to talk amongst ourselves. Namely to convince the delusional that there is something here to worry about.

But it does seem like most have positioned themselves to ignore the dangers of Trumpism, and they will take Trump’s incompetency as proof of liberal hysteria.

Yeah I mean that’s probably what people
exactly did in the 1850s until it pop in 1961 …

No idea how Americans can dismiss when **** like this already happened in their own country previously .

I guess it’s the endless mentality , today we are much smarter then them before us , can’t happen to us .

While every freakin country in the world keep repeating the same damn Mistakes over and over again for millennia’s …

lol I'm not disagreeing that Trump and Co want it. I'm saying that we've already had a lot outspoken people call for it for really idiotic reasons.

Yes, a chunk of them want just that. But we knew that and its old news.

So I guess Right Wingers are saying this is a war against the US? I don't understand this rhetoricAnd yeah, when Steven Miller is calling Democrats domestic terrorists and the rhetoric is so hateful and divisive then I guess a lot of those guys do think we are at war with our own citizensI just can't wrap my head around why Republicans would support thisThe only right wing pos

I am a registered Republican and do not support this.

Just learned about this from your post. My main news source now is this forum.


I'm not a fan of inflammatory rhetoric on either side.

That said, calling Democrats "domestic terrorists" is less inflammatory than calling Republicans "Nazis" 24/7.

Possibly less inflammatory. Definitely less accurate.


by chillrob

Possibly less inflammatory. Definitely less accurate.

1. Absolutely less inflammatory.

2. Equally inaccurate.

Real Nazis probably wouldn't be bowing the knee to Israel 24/7.

All the sources I've checked said Miller called Democrats "domestic extremists", NOT "domestic terrorists."

addendum: Source for 'domestic terrorist" comment, please. Thanks!

BREAKING: A U.S. court has ordered the FDA to release an additional "million pages" of documents from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trials.

So it's ok to try and force the world to take these shots, including all members of our military, but anyone wanting to see the trial evidence? Sorry, it's hidden under lock and key for 70 years...

You forgot full immunity from lawsuits . Buts it’s 100% safe

I don't consider the prejudice against Jews to be a defining feature of Nazism. They just happened to be the scapegoat on whom lack of wealth of Germans could be blamed. The current regime has chosen other scapegoats.

And they really are doing many things similar to how the Nazi party took over. Plus they're both parties with a leader who has a cult following.

Democrats are in no way similar to terrorists. They're not blowing things up, they're not trying to get people to live in fear, they're not kidnapping anyone. Republicans are much closer to being terrorists than are Democrats.

It looks like he actually said "The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about or represent American citizens,” Miller said. “It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers and illegal alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.

Of course, that's not a common phrase, but "domestic terrorist" is one. And why would he bother to say the that Democrats are a domestic organization? Duh, of course they are.
And saying they're extremist is awfully vague. He had just said they're devoted to the defense of terrorists. I think he was deliberately trying to make people think of the phrase "domestic terrorist", and it seems to have worked (at least on Coordi).

if it really was just about agreement with marxism then that contradicts you saying that it's about government interventionism only. I think marxists would deny that leftism is about purely government interventionism, so how can being in favor of that intrinsically be leftism?

I didn't say it was exclusively about state intervention in the economy. Leftism is also about heavy redistribution (which, bizzarrely, isn't inherently marxist other than the redistribution of capital profit ofc).

To be in favor of heavy state intervention in the economy is a necessary but not sufficient condition for leftism. Which is why i call those "leftist elements" when i refer to otherwise rightwing people who are in favor of heavy state intervention in the economy.

Theoretically, defining the democrat party like that could be a way to make it the target of FBI anti-terror investigations and down the line, to disband the party, arrest the leaders and so on.

I think he is deliberately saying that if he had the power to, he would do that.

*which is not very different from what some extremists on the left said with regards to the republican party when they claimed, without proof, it was acting under Russia orders*

Thanks for the fact-check.

I don't agree with Miller ofc.

I've said it a gazillion times before, but I'll say it one more time: I believe the AMA is the single most sinister organization in the United States.

"We're smart people with degrees, so you can trust us!"

At least the Mafia and drug cartels and their ilk don't even pretend to care about people.

I would say very few Democrats or Republicans are literally terrorists.

Roughly 99% of politicians in both parties are professional grifters. Domestic terrorism is typically bad for business. Now, International terrorism is GREAT for business.

In my opinion, both parties are equally adept at getting folks to live in fear. They just have different vehicles for fear-mongering.

Almost every political ad these days from both parties attempts to instill fear.

Yeah, I'm with Luciom on this one. I deal mostly with what I'd deem as normal right-wingers and I can count on no hands the number of them who would show up to some sort of armed conflict unless it arrived on their literal doorstep to threaten their families or livelihood.This revolution, if it exists, is being fought on reddit and twitter, and probably won't escape the confin

The trumpers will do anything he suggests they do. They would happily assault anyone that resists daddy, just like they did on jan. 6.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the very people that scream the second amendment is necessary to combat a tyrannical government are the same ones that are supporting a tyrannical government?


The same number of people showed up to Jan 6th as participated in CHAZ. There's a small subset of weirdos on both sides who need more productive hobbies. That doesn't mean we're going to have a civil war.

If we DID have one, though, my money is on the side with all the guns. So, checkmate to the libtards on that one, unfortunately.
