    <MODERATOR WARNING>
    ANY SUGGESTION OF USING VIOLENCE WILL RESULT IN RULE 6 WARNINGS (20PTS). PLEASE KEEP DISCUSSION CIVIL.


    Should all actions be excused to keep democrats from power?

    If you believe that Democrats are an existential threat to your life and your freedom.

    If you believe that Democrats will destroy your way of life.

    If you believe that Democrats will destroy America.

    Should that excuse any actoins you or others would take in order to prevent them from taking power?

    Is it okay to lie about them in order to turn people against them?

    Is it okay to commit violence in order to prevent them from taking office?

    Is it okay to Demonize the person, and their family?

    In other words, im asking.

    If you think they your way of life and freedom is under threat, is there any option that shouldnt be used to prevent that?

    Are you kidding? All actions taken by Democrats MUST be excused so that we can preserve our democracy. If Democrats feel a need to rig elections, lay false accusations on political opponents and even coordinate with the intelligence services of the US and foreign nations to keep outsiders from getting into an elected political position then that's NECESSARY for the preservation of democracy. We can't have democracy unless Democrats are in power. Their very name is in the word!

    It is good that you allow multiple votes for the MAGA cult members.

    Biden's proven he's the supreme unifier of them all! He's kept every single one of his campaign promises to heal and unite the country.
    All Hail the :democrat:(s) greatest leader!

    Though I normally don't have much reservation about using violence I do so in this case. Because when it comes down to it we all have to live in this country after the current unpleasantness is over.

    Thread is a perfect example of radicalized RW thought; dehumanise the perceived victimizers (other American citizens - RINOs, dems and independents) after being fed a 24/7 diet of far right vitriolic rhetoric. The perfect prey of neo fascists.

    We all know that people who vote for democrats aren't the "bad guys". They may make bad choices, but that's it. I don't recall Trump demonizing the Biden (or Hillary Clinton) supporters. Do you have any examples of it?

    While that poster was complaining about the mistreatment of certain people, he uses vitriolic rhetoric to dehumanize them.
    Oh the irony!

    Systematic demonization is in full swing. DeSantis quotes the Bible, and when ever the bible says "satan" or "the devil" he replaces the word with "the left".

    The RW extremists have been doing it for some time. And the para-military factions of the alt-right are sporting the same slogans on their sleeve as if they were on a mission from God. The picture below is taken during their assault on the Capitol. However its the first time a Governor has taken to push the same "stuff".

    I'm just looking for a whataboutism from him. Not just hyperbolic rants. I simply don't remember Trump demonizing voters like the left do a lot of. That basket of deplorables was only half full in Hillary's mind. With Biden it seems to have almost filled up. Anyone supporting a policy of MAGA is a fascist according to him.

    When Desantis refers to the "left" is he referring to the voters or the leaders of the left?

    Democrats and Republicans aren't an existential threat to anyone. They are all far too incompetent to that.

    Our sportification of politics is an existential threat to democracy.

    That's just so sophomoric. It won't win elections. In fact, in a new poll, the majority polled, agree that it's a bad play on Biden and camp to go after Trump voters by marginalizing them as less than human, as a threat to Democracy.

    So you blame Biden for doing this then? Politicians going after the voters is a stupid move, btw. It will boomerang back on them. Mark my words.

    Shaming has always been the strategy of the Left. Just let what Biden is doing here sink in.



    This is a classic example of trying to shame someone to vote for him based on race. WTF does race have to do with who you vote for?

    Do you condone politicians calling a large portion of the voting public an existential threat to Democracy, semi-fascist? Because I sure don't.
    The irony that Biden touted peace, harmony and unity when running for president.

    I don't know what happened to Democrat politicians. They never used to be this way.

    Even Democrats and Independents don't approve of their name-calling, bullying tactics.

    It's called desperate measures. When they think they might lose power they always resort to desperate measures. Including rigging elections. But doing the latter is easier to deny. They just don't think they can pull off another victory riding on the coattails of a crisis unless they can convince others that the real crisis are the semi-fascist MAGA supporters regarding our democracy. They have become the threat to our way of life, or so they say.

    In debate, I think that's called shifting the burden. ;)

    We are responsible for the state of our politics.

    We we have shi**y leaders, it's because that is who we choose.

    If politicians use immoral tactics to get elected, it is because those tactics work. We are the reason those tactics work.
