He should say "I've instructed my departments to compile a list of every communist, trans person, Palestinian, BLM activist, and I'm going to leave that list on my desk January 19th regardless of who's term starts the following day. Which president do you prefer has that list?" you know Blue MAGA would be ecstatic if he did that.

The main thing preventing that it his inability to construct a thought that complex

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

I mean, that would be shattering the veneer of civility, that's just a step too far for the DNC

Welcome to employment blocklists and credit scores

Their evil social credit score

Our freedom loving death squads

Do you really think the NSA is more than 5 lines of SQL away from printing that list?

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

Hot Take: Yeah kinda. One issue with modern surveillance is it gives you TOO MUCH data, to the point it gets hard to analyze.

I am on that list like eight times especially with my first name and diffrent spellings of swear words for a last name

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

And all your Hexbear alts

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

It would probably be GraphQL but yes

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

It would probably be an Excel sheet talking to an Access database via VBA macro because the guy who prints the kill lists "has a system".

The people of the United States of Gotham anxiously watched their TVs, the loud shriek of the emergency address system made them rapt in attention, unsure of what was taking place. The president was sitting in the oval office, like he had in many other prepared addresses, but this time was different. His face was smudged with unsettling white makeup, and his name placard had been hastily defaced with red graffito to read "Joe-ker".

"People of Gotham," The changed president began, "I have had the DOE fabricate 900 Neutron bombs, and scattered them in populated areas throughout the country. They are linked together by satellite, and if one loses signal or is otherwise disturbed, it will send signals to all of them to detonate. They will also detonate regardless of any action in 131 days, unless the disarm code, which only I know, is provided. there is also a duress code, which if entered, will immediately cause them to detonate. Don't even try to torture me, Jack; you can't know if the code I provide will be the actual disarm code."

What choice did the people have? some still refused to be blackmailed and stayed home. some stood strong and voted for Trump, who had begun wearing a Bane mask and making threats of his own, though all knew were impotent. But enough people were cowed, looking out for their families and loved ones, they dutifully went to ballot boxes and elected Biden in a landslide. on the night of November 8th, The house speaker meets with him privately, begging him to put his code in now that he's won. As his physician swaps out the IV bag of advanced dementia medication, Biden turns to Rep. Johnson and asks "What bombs?"

Perfection.

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Me, a black, trans communist if Biden said this:

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

that's just always going on regardless of whether the president wears blue ties or red ties

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

Prolly cuz the Reps do the job for him, lmao....

[-] Droplet@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

He is. The NSA is recording every single American who has criticized Biden’s debate performance last night. They will all be shot if he loses.

[-] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

That's not a very large voting block

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

Trump will already have that list if elected regardless, by merit of entering the same office that Biden used to assemble the list. Real blackmail is the security state shit he's already been doing.

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

Because that list already exists on a RAID setup in Utah

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

This comes on way too strong and would backfire. Their electoral strategy is already blackmail anyway, and it works on a lot of left liberals.

[-] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

Because they already have that list and don't care unless someone on it actually does something

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

Because more liberal people tend to withhold their votes for stuff like this.
