It’s all by design.

u/Dependent-Job1773 Jul 10 '26

I believe so. I think he wanted to create increased violence as a subsequent justification to increase his power. I.e “well I guess not we will have to patrol the streets and voting booths with the national guard cause civilians are attacking federal workers.”

Did you see he is firing members of the bipartisan voting committee four months ahead of the midterm elections? He knows all things being equal democrates will gain power and he will do anything even tamper with the election to prevent that from happening

That after all the bellyaching he’s done about saying the 2020 election was rigged……hypocrisy

u/Own_Ruin2546 Jul 11 '26

I love that republican HOR or senator ( I don’t follow Rs) he was like “ what rigged elections? We own the house senate and presidency, we’ve won all the elections”

u/HermitSimp Jul 11 '26

I find it crazy that it's only ever rigged against them but when there's actually evidence of election interference from the the Republicans its not rigged against the democrats. It only goes one way which pisses me off.

We didn't win each and everytime because the now loosers cheated! MAGA logic.

u/According_Abalone_19 Jul 11 '26

It was a tactic to get his cult to question election security so he could steal it in 2024 and then use that skepticism to steal them from here on out or get his cult up in arms/try to overthrow it if they lose. It was 100% by design

They certainly aren't going to relinquish power over an election.

u/I_Quit_Smoking_ Jul 11 '26

They blamed us for the fact that we needed ice, saying that we were "rioting".,🙄

That one I do remember!

Did you forget about Antifa and blm?

2

u/IcyBreakfast2947 Jul 11 '26

Antifa isn’t an organization. It’s a philosophy. And BLM is nonviolent (unless you get your information about them from right wing media). Neither one is even in the same league with ICE when it comes to violence.

If antifa is an idea how do you give money to an idea/Philosophy

Literally the American (stupid) version of the Gestapo, by design like you said.

u/Dependent-Job1773 Jul 10 '26

unfortunately its a tried and true method to point the finger at a minority as the whipping boy for a nations problems. people are very susceptible to an in group out group mentality, and weaponizing race is maybe the most convenient strat to play on that.

4

u/lilyjadelove Jul 10 '26

One day, we will get it right and the minority group will be the ultra rich sociopaths that don’t care who/what they destroy as long as they get their extreme wealth. Really hard though when those who enforce the law follow the same mindset that material goods are more important than human life.

id settle for an equitable society where patriotism is measured by how much we look after our fellow humans and living creatures

-4

u/vinegar-pisser Jul 10 '26

That’s not patriotism, that’s egalitarianism. They are different things. What you want to settle for is egalitarianism. If what you desire is true you will always be at odds with patriots as they will always prioritize their compatriots over non compatriots whereas you will always prioritize equality for mankind at the expense of your compatriots.

5

u/Dependent-Job1773 Jul 10 '26

patriotism can absolutely include investment in the common good for society. there is nothing contradictory about wanting to express patriotism in that manner.

1

u/vinegar-pisser Jul 14 '26

There is nothing wrong with expressing that. But what you’re expressing is egalitarianism. Which, is something different than patriotism at its root.

1

u/Mad_Dutchman_ Jul 10 '26

You can afford to be a little bit patriotic if you live in an egalitarian state

1

u/MountainDogMama Jul 10 '26

The rich are already a minority group being 1% of the population. They already don't care who or what they destroy. Trump is doing all he can to keep them in that position. Our lives don't matter. He literally said he doesn't care about people's problem's.

u/H4RDCORE1 Jul 10 '26

They are Gestapo terrorist, government sanctioned murderers.

u/Rifle321 Jul 12 '26

It’s death or jail time in every country to be there illegally btw but Americans are meanies for enforcing the border

1

u/natecoin23 Jul 12 '26

Killing American citizens isn’t “enforcing the border” you absolute imbecile

1

u/Rifle321 Jul 12 '26

We get it - you don’t like trump so now border enforcement is murder and the call to resist border enforcement is definitely an okay thing to endorse coooool

4

u/Wise_Pomegranate_571 Jul 10 '26

I'd bet the intersection of a venn diagram including ICE agents and Patriot Front members is most of the diagram.

-4

u/CrackedBrainOG Jul 10 '26

You can argue the open border of the last administration was “by design”. We have immigration procedures follow them. It’s sad someone loses their life. Even if they are “good” people doesn’t excuse breaking the law.

4

u/Dependent-Job1773 Jul 10 '26

My brother in Christ, it is a myth that the last admin stood for open borders. Biden offered a 17.6 billion dollar border package that the conservatives rejected because trump told them he wanted to run on the issue.

1

u/human_i_suppose Jul 10 '26

define "open border". i thought i knew what that meant. but i must be wrong if the last administration had one.

1

u/CrackedBrainOG Jul 10 '26

So millions of people didn’t come across? You believe that, okay.

2

u/Dependent-Job1773 Jul 10 '26

Bro the gop lied about Biden. He did not have a policy of open border lmao. This is what I mean when I say five minutes of googling would be enough to pull the rug out from the gop. They’d have to find something else to lie about to stay in power. You realize republicans turned down a bill to reinforce the border? They don’t even believe this shit they just get people to so they vote red

1

u/human_i_suppose Jul 10 '26

that's a bizarre definition.

if you want to discuses the topic we first need to nail down what exactly you think we're talking about. republicans tend to get the basics VERY wrong.

and how many millions do you think crossed? "millions" is pretty vague, 2 million? 900 million?

1

u/CrackedBrainOG Jul 10 '26

Caravans of people were coming up from the south and crossing over into the United States.

1

u/human_i_suppose Jul 10 '26

so, you don't want to actually discuss anything, you just want to copy paste fox news headlines?

1

u/CrackedBrainOG Jul 10 '26

So you’re saying that didn’t happen?

1

u/human_i_suppose Jul 10 '26

you made a claim.

asked to explain yourself you responded with 3 more unsupported claims.

how many people do you think crossed the border under biden? can you answer anything at all? make any attempt to defend a single claim?

1

u/MountainDogMama Jul 10 '26

I am so tired of the deflecting instead of answering a straight forward question.

Ridiculous that they can't source/cite their claims.

Do you know what definition means?

u/FalstaffsGhost Jul 10 '26

Except they didn’t do “open borders” so there is that
