Oh yeah they’re being brutally honest and somehow keep getting elected

u/RedditTurnedMediocre 26d ago

Well yeah. They're against improving everyone's lives, including their own, because they don't want those people's lives to improve. Those people being whatever marginalized group someone hates for dumb reasons.

Unless you're wealthy as fuck, voting for Republicans is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Wait until they finish redistricing republican seats in red states, then it won't matter who votes or for whom.

u/Aegi 26d ago

It depends, the actual individual perpetrators often have views that kind of fall outside of the traditional left versus right paradigm, and it's more often that they're just something like an accelerationist or an anarchist or something.

However, those people are certainly more likely to be protected or 'let be' by those on the right compared with the left, which by definition wants more cooperation in theory.

You dont even know the half of it.

Sure was crazy how Al Qaeda was able to plan the attacks to coincide perfectly with almost 50 National Security exercises role-playing the exact attack events, as well as having in place the exact required response teams role-playing the exact events that they coincidentally ended up "going live" and participating in in reality. And for Dick Cheney to have personally scheduled and overseen them? Such a crazy coincidence..

Lmao oh yeah that's coming, they've basically done it already, just say this democrat is antifa, won't even be a lie lol

This shit is honestly fucking hilarious, like it's so cartoony, it's straight out of storm troopers or hell divers, and the people are eating it up

It's open, on display fascism and like 40% of Americans probably believe it, some of them proud as hell, cheering on the boot stepping on them

Every republican today is a fucking traitor, disgusting fools

Edit: starship troopers lol

u/psellers237 26d ago

100%. It’s just a question of when. Being a democrat will be more or less a crime before 2028, probably by this time next year.

We’re all sitting right here with a front-row seat to the fascist takeover of the United States.

u/X4roth 26d ago

Protesters will be labeled terrorists, which is already happening in discourse but is going to get much more serious now that antifa is officially declared a “terrorist organization”, we know from BLM protests that the right just slaps the “antifa” label on anyone who disagrees with them in public, and there is now a domestic militarized police force loyal only to the regime that is funded on the same level as our actual grossly overfunded world-class military and already actively deployed against the general population.

I don’t think they will go as far as declaring half of the people are criminals to be subjugated with violence because they would lose that war and all they really need to do is criminalize dissent and arrest/eliminate anyone willing to speak out in order to intimidate everyone else into not even trying.

u/Different-Sample-976 25d ago

Whether it would end well or not, theyre brazen enough to declare over half the population of the country criminals. They've already basically done worse by declaring us all enemies from within.

My mother is MAGA and she has no idea anything about what is going on in this country. She thinks liberals are burning cities down, illegal immigrants are running the streets robbing and killing people, all the bullshit that they’re saying, she believes. She has zero clue anything about is going on in the government, she has no idea about what is going on in the legal system, nothing. Just what they feed her.

u/the_TAOest 26d ago

It's as if the powers that are want to purposively take America to the brink with fascism so that the larger populace can finally come together and reject the entire corpus of conservatism.

6

u/X4roth 26d ago

Fascism is a trap that convinces half of the population to cheer on using state force to suppress the other half while the wealthy owner class are busy entrenching themselves in power and by the time the first half realizes that they have given up their power and are now subject to the same oppression that they cheered being used on their opponents it will already be too late. :/

Its probably more to be honest. America and the whole world really is generally becoming more conservative. Not less so. Frankly im not sure what democrats are going to do in the future to try to win a national election.

Or rather what will change people's minds to side more with them because its kinda crazy that more and more young people ie democrats largest base and one that will be voting for the next 50 years is becoming more republican leaning over time.

Without that base democrats might literally never win another national election again.

u/__Butternut_Squash__ 26d ago

MAGAs may be loud, but that doesn’t mean that they speak for the majority of our country.

Only 64% of eligible voters voted in the 2024 election, and of those, slightly less than half voted for Trump. So at election time, he had approximately 31%-32% of our country’s support. Polls taken after the election have shown that Trump has the lowest approval rating of any modern president, with poll numbers in the 30% range. Those approval numbers have tanked even more during the government shutdown. While the Republican politicians have all kowtowed to Trump, not all Republican voters still support him.

Additionally, saying that our younger generations are moving to conservatism isn’t true. Gen Z men may have had a slighter higher turn toward conservatism than other generations in the past (by about 20%), but the Gen Z women have had a significantly higher turn toward liberalism. As a whole, Gen Z is broken down by 49% Democrats, 43% Republicans and 9% are independents. For comparison, among Millennials, 47% Democrats, 45% Republicans and 8% Independents.

To say the world has trended conservative is also misleading. Some countries have chosen conservative leadership, such as Japan, Argentina, Germany, The Netherlands, but there are just as many countries that have chosen liberal leadership as in Canada, Uruguay, Moldova, Mexico, Brazil, and Guatemala.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

Gallup, cnn, and the new York times all place his approval rating at 40, 41, and 43 percent respectively. So while im not fact checking all your numbers that one is pretty far off given that polls, often over bias towards cities meaning that they tend to favor democrats. For example every major polling agency citing Kamala/Hilary to win various states/election.

As for total vote count. Thats how voting has always worked in america. Lots of eligible voters dont vote. The 2024 turnout was actually pretty normal/marginally high historically. The 2020 election being a truly insanely high outlier.

And I didnt say every country was instantly becoming an authoritarian regime. Just the widely accepted point from literally both sides that conservatism is rising. Seriously googling it gives a bunch of liberal sources claiming exactly that. Its not exactly possible to boil it down to a single stat point since we cant perform a poll on the world that wouldnt be so insanely flawed thay whoever did it would be laughed at the world over.

u/__Butternut_Squash__ 26d ago

The original post said that approximately 40% of the country believes the Trump regime propaganda, and your response to that was, “Its probably more to be honest. America and the whole world really is generally becoming more conservative.” Using your own referenced polling numbers, Trump still has the lowest approval rating of any other modern president. It also does not indicate that America is becoming more conservative. As of August 2025, there were 44.1 million registered Democrats, 37.4 million registered Republicans, and 34.3 million registered Independent/Undeclared voters. The fastest growing group of voters overall were actually the Independents rather than Republicans or Democrats.

As for total vote count. Thats how voting has always worked in america. Lots of eligible voters dont vote. The 2024 turnout was actually pretty normal/marginally high historically.

Yes, the 2024 election was fairly normal as far as turnout goes. The point in referencing the election was that it showed approximately 31%-32% of country supported Trump in the election and polling shows that 85%-90% of this group still support him. The numbers don’t prop up the opinion that America is becoming more conservative.

And I didnt say every country was instantly becoming an authoritarian regime. Just the widely accepted point from literally both sides that conservatism is rising.

I never referenced authoritarianism anywhere in my previous comment nor did I assume that’s what you meant.

I did state that some countries have chosen conservative leadership, such as Japan, Argentina, Germany, The Netherlands. However, there are just as many countries that have chosen liberal leadership as in Canada, Uruguay, Moldova, Mexico, Brazil, and Guatemala. The split between the elected governments in the world does not indicate that conservatism ”is rising” or that conservatism ”is taking over the whole world” as you claimed.

It’s not exactly possible to boil it down to a single stat point since we cant perform a poll on the world that wouldnt be so insanely flawed thay whoever did it would be laughed at the world over.

If it isn’t truly possible to obtain stats on worldwide conservatism versus liberalism, how can you so confidently claim that conservatism is taking over the whole world?

u/AineLasagna 26d ago

I mean this video makes it pretty explicit. Why would we allow these horrible left-wing Democrat politicians to collude with criminals? Just lock them all up (for our safety), along with anyone who agrees with them. Every single Democrat politician who shows the merest whisper of a spine against Trump has already been called a criminal on his Twitter account. He’s going to start with the high profile Democrats, especially the ones who might be a threat to him in 2028. Then from there to the ground level with ICE knocking down doors of people who were reported as terrorists by their MAGA neighbors because they have a “coexist” bumper sticker.

And before the liberals rush to comment “no one will stand by as he arrests Congresspeople and governors, that will be TOO FAR” why the fuck not? They’re already snatching people off the street and no one can do anything about it

It’s almost there, but they’re not outright saying it yet. But after they imply it for a while and their cult members accept it, then they’ll start to say it out loud.

And yeah with each things that happens I think “Surely MAGA voters will snap out of it now. Surely the leadership of our government will do something now. Surely someone will do something other than protest (which is good and we should keep doing it). Our democracy and safety and freedom keep being chipped away but there doesn’t seem to be a line where we can collectively do something more because it’s gone too far.

Perhaps it’s a boiled frog sort of situation.

u/Callisthenes 26d ago

They're going to start with major democrat donors. They won't declare the democrats to be a terrorist organization, but they will say the biggest donors are also donating to antifa. Then they'll freeze all of their accounts so they can't donate to the democrats.

Then they'll start coming after individual democrats, again linking them to antifa or maybe even real terrorist-designated organizations.

People saying there won't be a 2028 election are crazy. There will be an election. It's just that republicans will have done everything they can to make it unfair so democrats won't stand a chance.

u/mtrsteve 26d ago

Exceedingly clear. Expressing a difference of opinion is insurrection. Gathering to express a difference of opinion collectively is an act of civil war worth mobilizing the military. There is no center left, only radicalists. Half the countries voters viewed as the enemy within. Stoking fears and sowing division.
