I bet they designate the Socialist Rifle Association as a terrorist org before next summer.

Antifa may make the terror list. Environmental groups. Animal rights groups, they are already being classed as domestic terrorists if not officially. Obviously any group opposed to Israel's bullshit.

Protest will basically be illegal if it is disfavored. Something that UK already did. Also in Europe as well they have been moving to illegalize global warming and soon other protests. This is a West wide turn towards illiberalism and despotism.

Look to what attorney general Carr has been doing in Georgia for the test cases. Attacking the legal rights of bail fund organizers, and claiming it’s probable cause to not have your cellphone with you at a protest.

That thing in Georgia was like the test case. And our great Democratic leader had nothing to say about it let alone to do about it. What a joke, our leaders already think the Republic is dead. The Bill of Rights does not apply.

All for a local protest too, like wtf? It is because the big cities have a leftist streak and the state is run by far right fascists, and they want to subordinate the free spirit of the Cities, not the least because they lost the vote in 2020.

They better hope they are not right because they will be shunted aside and often prosecuted themselves as their underlings stab them in the back and take their positions. Plus the paranoia, like stalin.

It would be incorrect to assume the city’s Democratic leaders were opposed to the fascism. They were key partners in blocking legal challenges.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Oh I know it, I was referring to the populace being leftist I should have been more clear, all of our cities have right wing fascist police forces it seems. The politicians are subordinate to them not the other way around. They could take down any of our politicians and they know it.

In 2020 and several years before the police were sharing intelligence with the counter protesters, warning them about police actions, telling them where the protesters were going, a resting the protesters and letting those right-wing counter protesters go. But not just there, Berkeley California had something similar, propublica did some reporting about it back at that time.

When you know the government groomed a Catholic school shooter.

As usual trans are the test case. If this succeeds then other groups will be added to the list. I would not be surprised at eventual bans on all immigrants and activists

So this is everyone's cue to buy lots of guns and lots of ammo.

more reason for trans people to own one and know how to use it.
