MAGA is a terrorist organization.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago

The GOP is a terrorist organization.

I could really go for some potatos right now im fucken hungry.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

They're saying the quiet parts out loud and there's no turning back

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 113 points 1 month ago

If only there was a term they could use referencing the use and threat of violence in order to achieve political gains. It feels like that's a word that should exist already, and that Republicans should all be considered the domestic version of whatever kind of person would do that.

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 33 points 1 month ago

For anyone wondering, Snopes says it was real in 2022. Perhaps a "joke", but not a wise one.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

That's just the Trump excuse. Everything atrocious that is said that gets pushback is a joke.

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

"He tells it like it is!"

"Come on, he's obviously just joking!"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Pretty much. He "tells it like it is" when they agree with him and it's a joke when they don't. Reality is fungible for them.

I know the term you are looking for, but probably the shooters are white Christian nationalists.

Which means they are definitely not political terrorists who are terrorizing .

But I could be wrong and these are terrorists. Who knows? Perhaps one is mixed race or stepped into a mosque within the last 20 years. Let’s keep an open mind

wtf? Why christians wouldn't be considered terrorists?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I reckon it's supposed to be sarcasm, that since they are white Christians they can't be terrorists, unless they are "mixed" race or have been in a Mosque

[-] owsei@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

I've re-read the last paragraph. I'm quite slow, it's 100% sarcasm.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It got me the first time too. That's how you know it's great sarcasm!

Nope, just plain ole terrorism.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Stochastic Terrorism means advocates for but does not personally commit it. There have been shootings, that isn't stochastic.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

The stochastic terrorism happened before the shootings. Both forms of violence need to be stopped.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

That's true, yeah.

[-] style99@lemm.ee 59 points 1 month ago

Republicans really hate democracy.

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

They are a Communist grass roots terrorist group. We should treat them as so.

[-] gallopingsnail 3 points 1 month ago

Wait, how are Republicans Communist???

"Arizona Democrats closed their field office in Tempe, Ariz. after three shooting incidents. The office served as a base for the Sun State’s congressional campaigns and Vice President Harris’s presidential effort in recent weeks.

"The Tempe Police Department said the latest incidents on Oct. 6 involved gun shots fired at the Democratic campaign office at around 12:30 a.m. They said no one was inside the building. Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander with an unknown plate, which was seen on the premises. "

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 50 points 1 month ago

Officers are now looking for a silver Toyota Highlander...

Good news, that narrows down the field significantly. There can be only one.

God damn it, why can't reality at least have a soundtrack by Queen?

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Too bad we can't gild people here, because this deserves it.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Should have stayed open. You're letting those fucking terrorists win
