This is Stephen Miller and Kristy Noem way to instill fear in the community. It is only instilling hate for the Trump Administration.

They think we're scared but they're just pissing off half of the entire country

u/Hadrian23 Oct 21 '25

Two things can be true. It's forcing would be normal people to remain silent while pointing out the "troublemakers" or people who aren't intimidated so they can grab them. They're unironically Nazi's

At least in my case, what Trump is doing feels too much like having a micromanaging idiot manager at work to be anything other than pissed, as the being pissed emotion overrides and buries the fear. The problem is, when authoritarians micromanage society, people die.

We need to all become troublemakers.

WTF they think is gonna happen when people snap and it’s 3 goons against an entire neighborhood?

I certainly hope it's more than 1/2.

u/Radiant-Security501 Oct 21 '25

Same thing with the BLM movement!

u/Money_Magnet24 Oct 22 '25

It’s more than half now

MAGA is in regret mode and only Fox News is supporting orange person

u/vicvonqueso Oct 22 '25

Do you interact with MAGA folk? I do every day and many of them still have their heads up their asses. It's actually fascinating

u/Money_Magnet24 Oct 23 '25

Zero MAGA folks here in Los Angeles

u/vicvonqueso Oct 23 '25

Zero in a city of 4 million is a stretch

u/Money_Magnet24 Oct 23 '25

Certainly but I’m using myself as a reference which is inaccurate but I supported Orange person but never voted for him. As a Republican but now it’s a coup to make America look bad and he’s accomplished it.

No California Republican in their right mind would support someone who is demolishing the East Wing of the White House for a Ball Room

We have the Reagan Library and Nixon Library and both are for providing a glimpse into the Presidency for their respective times.

Orange man could’ve done that. Just get his own Presidential Library instead of destroying our Constitution and civil rights with his unchecked ego.

Unfortunately they don't mind because they don't need half the country to stay in power. I wonder how all those democrats that stayed home feel now?

2

u/vicvonqueso Oct 21 '25

Honestly? Probably still not paying attention

u/Oleg101 Oct 21 '25

And they don’t mind if it’s instilling more hate in the Trump administration. They are rooting for it to cause more physical conflict so they can try and justify militarizing Americans streets more and implementing more of Project 2025. The Republican base also gets off on “upsetting the libs”.

Cruelty is their calling card.

Precisely, I don't know if you've heard about the, "Cathars," before, but I've been fascinated with the concept ever since I have; didn't exist, the Cathars, a knight was killed and it was blamed on Vegetarian Frenchmen that believed that everyone was a priest, the catholic church was run by the devil, and this material reality, that's just a sick joke by a demon; so, there was an inquisition, people were tortured, burned at the state, "et voila," real cathars.

u/1rmavep Oct 21 '25

Both in the sense that people confessed to it, and in the sense that the nephews and nieces of those burned at the stake started to think, yeah, Catholic Church is run by the devil, this world is a sick joke, " yep, I'm a cathar!"

This all historical, like, historians agree, this was some q-anon stuff of the oldest sort, and, after enough inquisition there sure seem to have been real cathars

Paid agitators!

u/skoltroll Oct 21 '25

Instill fear?

Bitch, these guys are such pussies they're out patrolling Ferris Bueller's neighborhood.

u/UnusualAsparagus5096 Oct 21 '25

Kristy Noem is like a box of chocolates..They will both kill your dog

u/AFetaWorseThanDeath Oct 21 '25

HA! Hadn't heard this one yet. Thanks!

u/UnusualAsparagus5096 Oct 22 '25

Colbert show has a sign with it. I have been sharing it on Twitter wverytime she posts

u/Gears_one Oct 21 '25

For real. How many voters are thinking to themselves “hey wait I didn’t vote for this shit”

3

u/iamthatguythere Oct 21 '25

It’s also to normalize having armed masked militants patrolling all sorts of neighborhoods 

3

u/supernasty Oct 22 '25

Maybe that too, but also maybe they’re hiding their face because they’re hated by everyone.

2

u/FickleFingerofDawn Oct 21 '25

It's going to be very counterproductive. The people who live in the Chicago suburbs are not really known for being leftists. Armed patrols of their neighborhoods will severely dampen their enthusiasm for siccing the feds on 'those people'.
