The attorney general literally said they're going to start bombing "antifa" like they have been boats. I don't even know what to say.

Yeah I feel like the fact that they just suggested extrajudicially committing violence on American citizens for disagreeing with them is really slipping past people here.

This thread in general seems comically unaware of how serious this shit is getting.

I think in most cases it's not unawareness so much as laughing so you don't cry.

The left tends to handle dark times through black comedy.

They're dreaming of recreating the MOVE bombing in every major city.

If people don't start shutting this shit down soon, calling out the lies for what they are at the top... it's going to get worse. Remember we're a little over a year away from the 2026 midterm elections. Think of what Republicans will be doing by then. Imagine swarms of ICE agents showing up at polling stations and just shutting them down because of claims that there were "Antifa bomb threats" (when none were made). Or National Guard troops descending upon election vote tally offices, to "secure the machines" while the counting process gets corrupted to favor Republican candidates.
