Isn't this akin to that theory that Steve Bannon believes in?

Could be. The book The Fourth Turning is scary accurate, all the way down to highlighting a Grey Champion (Bernie) that would inspire the younger generation.

Edit: it was written in the late 1990's.

The main problem with moments like this in history, is that there are two directions we can take as a nation. The divisive hateful tyrannical way of Bannon, or the inclusive/fair/just vision of the likes of Bernie. The country is split and each side is entrenched in their particular direction. It's up to all of us to do what we can to guide our democracy towards the better outcome for all.

Literally every protest thread is 20 pages of concern trolling and hypotheticals.

Okay but like, say there's a protest defending trans people rights but like my tire blows up and I'm stranded and all of a sudden Godzilla turns out to be real and pops out of nowhere and it tries to kill me and the protesters are RIGHT THERE like couldn't they protest peacefully?

 

[Silver Arrows]

THIS IS FOR YOU NANA RUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a fun thread.

 

[maabus1999]

GOP sure do love the constitution.

Remember that every time you hear a quote from them "We want judges/lawyers/politicians who follow the Constitution as written."

This law breaks several of the first 10.

 

[Got]

That was a fun thread.

My account wasn't approved at the time so I could only watch from the sidelines, but people still whining and concern trolling about protesting is kind of funny.

 

[Dirca]

Man, these next 4 years...

Man, these next 4 years...

It's only entertaining if you support a fascist regime though...

Though watching the courts shut down Trump and the GOP time and time again might be the only silver lining.

 

[andythinkpad]

So what happen to those AZ gun nuts who want to keep guns to prevent tyranny, where are you now?

 

[GameAddict411]

It won't stand on courts. It blatantly violates the constitution.

 

[MisterShine]

This will be challenged and struck down by the courts so fast the bill will leave skid marks.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Says fucking you.



Turkey has some boss-ass fashion.

...but yeah, we're pretty much Erdogan's bed buddy at that point.

I wouldn't call that an appealing outfit, don't like the color combination


But yeah, no way this ever gets through

 

[Host Samurai]

Doubt is passes, but if it does, than I am going to start a guillotine business.

 

[chrislowe]

So much violence.

Yes, that did not look like violence, but then you watch a protest like this:

Yes. It is possible for a small number of people with an agenda to take advantage of a protest.

Black-clad activists among hundreds of demonstrators

In the violence, knots of activists in black clothes and masks threw rocks and bottles at officers wearing riot gear, who responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades as a helicopter hovered low overhead.

They should be held responsible for their actions. No one else should. When the police work with the protesters and both sides plan properly this almost never happens.

We're doing the whole "violent assholes represent entire protest" thing?

Its important to know who you are dealing with lol

So we should make sure that they learn the language before anything else as Ive said earlier, and since the school is free of charge they cant say its cause of economic reasons that they dont fullfil them.

and when they've learned swedish, then they can apply for more jobs, and when they get a job, they earn money, and when they earn money they can live anywhere they want.

That is, if they really want to learn swedish. (and if the lack of teachers is a problem, they should get more money into getting more teachers for this, since this can save lots of money further on)

I dont see how this is Trumps fault really.

I only see a man killing himself cause he knew death was a better place than go back to Mexico which is really tragic!.
So the real people to blame is the people in charge of how Mexico is to their people imho.

Cause if Mexico is such a bad place to live in, then think of all those people still living there, and how they fare in their lifes.

If something is going to stop people killing themself, you have to change how Mexico is for their people, not change the president of united states.

Thats my opinion anyway.

Yeah ive read that too, but it dont think its true.
The cost for air force one is around 180k an hour according to http://www.ntu.org/foundation/detail...april-snapshot

So 12million / 180k is 66 hours of flight for Obama in a year. Sounds a bit little.

New york to south africa is 16hours flight so 2.8million dollars in cost for the flight trip and then you meed to go back also.

 

[StrikeNinja24]

I have a fear that we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction, and that we are going to see a tumultuous time, filled with jailed activists and blatantly political prisoners. Dog have mercy on us all.

Yes, praise be to Dog.

There's some schadenfreude involved here. Considering most of the people that would be affected by this are old white folks.

It makes sense that someone who voted for Trump supports a heavy handed approach from a fascist government.

 

[Frankenstrat]

GOP gonna GOP. Definitely not sure about that bit in the op with all repub voters being one issuing of orders away from full on nazis though

 

[Omegasquash]

Not a snowball's chance in hell this goes through. It's absurd that a bill to treat protest as organized crime is even being debated, but there's no way this holds in court.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

You have to love how evil the right makes the left out to be, and yet the left does nothing like this once in power, while the right does what they were supposedly afraid of in the first place.

I hope shit like this makes people realize that Trump and the rest of the GOP really aren't that different at all and should be tied together.

I mean look at someone like chrislowe. He voted for Trump. He's a conservative, but he still thinks the behavior of the right is okay and better than the left. his face is slapped with facts but he persists. most of them are hopeless. no need to try and rationalize and hope that he changes. he's a lost cause.

Definitely. I'm hoping for independents and certain moderate Democrats to get a wake up call, though.

They are 100% the party of projection, and somehow it fucking works.

Imagine if Obama went full steam ahead with criminalizing right wing extremism.

I don't think the entire right wing are sexual predators, but then you've got people like this:
