They also don’t support the USA.
They're traitors, and you know what they say:
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.
transl.: if you get caught redhanded commiting crime, just claim it is for patriotism or some shit...
Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don't stand for anything and are net negative for society.
The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.
At this point, they clearly aren't even for corporations or shareholders, given the most recent cascade of economic catastrophes.

Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.
I like it. Musky: a state of being petty or childish.
Serious question: Historically, has a fascist movement ever been put down without the use of violence?
It always ends in violence. The kind of person that creates these racist movements simply does not operate with a human mentality. They wake up in the morning and their first conscious thought is to benefit themselves, the second one is hurting others to benefit themselves. They are pure evil.

So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who's supposed to be a free speech absolutist?
"You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn't upset me."
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You'd think they'd at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
And decided by the guy who started the birther conspiracy, feeds the pedo conspiracy (while openly being one), and told the world that his Presidential rival "turned black".
Fuck Trump and Musk, they both seem to be real musky about being called out for being awful humans. Trump should probably be more concerned with what JD is doing to the White House furniture, going to have to get plastic sheets to cover them all.
You'd think they'd at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?
That'd require the ability to feel shame. These dipshits are proud of their ignorance.
Bruh...
I emigrated from a country that makes it illegal to criticize leaders
only to end up in a country that is also about to make criticizing leaders illegal.
Just... wow
(from PRC to USA)
Come to UK / Europe. We've got universal healthcare and more robust democracy and many centurys long tradition of criticising and mocking our leaders.

What a bunch of snowflakes. What's wrong? Are we hurting his feelings? The richest douchebag, who doesn't know what he's doing, with his head is so far up his own ass I'm sure he can taste it, doesn't like being called what he is? 🎻
Fuck him. I have no pity for fascists. 🖕🏾

I say we declare the GOP a terrorist group.
They did declare themselves that at one of the CPACs, so only seems fair to make it official.

Next thing you know they’ll be calling democrats an insurgency.
They've been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don't have any meaning left. So... totally on brand

from TFA:
go for the tires. easily accessible. high energy density.
Just avoid setting the whole thing on fire. Lithium battery smoke is extremely toxic.

"We Are All Domestic Terrorists."
My dogs face when I'm holding bacon is how I imagine Republicans look when they see a boot.
Quick history moment:
The US government has always treated politically motivated vandalism as domestic terrorism.
The FBI defined Earth First!, Earth Liberation Front, and similar radical environmental groups as terrorist organizations decades ago, because they spiked trees and burnt subdivisions and SUV dealerships.
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act makes it an act of terrorism to vandalize a factory farm or animal research lab - even nonviolent protest that "intimidates" employees is illegal.
Some of y'all are acting like burning car dealerships was protected speech before Trump. Come on.

There is a lot of shit people aren't doing because they don't want to cross the line and become domestic terrorists. You do NOT want to move that line over them.
What about Vandalism against other car dealers. That's also domestic terrorism, right?

Is it still terrorism if you destroy a Tesla on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol?
We are all domestic terrorists
But what about those of us around the world that hate him? Am I an international incident yet?
Stop it guys, you’re scaring him!
"terrorist" has been so overused it no longer means much of anything. Like so many other words.

Can't wait until we're all mandated to purchase teslas. Garnished wages taste better.
Proud to be a terrorist I guess.
Good to know that all that "George Soros interfering with muh freedums" was bullshit projection.
