The comment directly below this one reads like propaganda straight from Moscow. I'm very glad to see it down-voted. Blaming blatant authoritarianism and extremely dangerous rhetoric on "old people" seems like a pretty obvious diversion from the actual culprits: the entire Republican party who is sleepwalking into a legit second coup attempt. They're losing political power and have abandoned the idea of democracy. The fact that they're unable or unwilling to drown this Nazi rhetoric in the bathtub speaks volumes. They are openly supporting authoritarianism. Not "old people". Republicans.

There's a non-zero chance that they actually are sending their brightest.

It's unbelievable that someone says this AND it is found to far exceed the speech and debate clause AND is held to account.

But then, most authoritarian leaders are initially I stalled under cheers of their own population. And mostly people know what they are voting for. The MAGA crowd seems to just be more open about it.

Just recently Indonesia voted for a guy who literally murdered his fellow countrymen as head of a special forces unit. But the youth think his TikTok dance is Soo cute, so they vote for the sweet grandpa with the cute dance. I hope they will be alright.

Some of those who work forces...

Sir this is a conservative oligarchy not a Wendy's. Rules are only for anyone we declare to be too far left.

it’s what the whole fucking constitution is for

The second amendment tells you what it's for - militias. But what are militias for? The constitution tells us that too.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 15: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.

So, no, the second amendment is about a system to suppress insurrections, not commit them. You've been lied to.

We have revolutions every 2-4 years. Insurrections are not about the will of the people, they are about subverting the will of the people.

And the way the winds blowing is why the #1 demographic for first time firearm purchasers throughout covid has been liberals.

There are a bunch of Supreme Court rulings which basically said the KKK can advocate for violence in general so long as they don't lay out specifics. That's what these folks hide behind

Italian here, sometimes I wonder why we ever stopped, it should be an ongoing thing

Lmao I can imagine some of them are thinking democracy = democrats.

No, they know exactly what they're cheering for.

Yeah this is the same kind of thing they did at another one of these events in the past with the whole "Ladies and gentlemen, we are all domestic terrorists." thing. It was meant as a joke to make fun of what the liberals were saying but at the same time it wasn't entirely inaccurate.

They want a crowd and they cheer the thrill of battle. Because they believe they are on the right side.

Here you go.
