The Trump campaign aims to use today’s shooting as a sort of Reichstag fire to incite his supporters to step up street violence while calling for more state repression targeting his enemies of choice.
The Biden campaign has already paused all outbound communications and withdrawn their television advertisements, ceding the entire field of narrative to Donald Trump, who will have no compunction about using his status as a victim to advance his efforts to victimize others.
One of the classic mechanics of totalitarianism is that protecting the safety of the leader becomes a justification for violence against large swathes of the population.
As centrists join the far right in paving the way for totalitarian rule under Trump, we have to organize to defend our communities. If you have been in denial about the challenges ahead of us, this should be a wake-up call to find each other and prepare for them.
Ever heard about firearms? Turns out you don’t have to be in shape to fire them and one shot can be enough to kill. Maybe want to read up on that.

Right, that’s why so many wars have been won by obese elderly people.
They don’t have to win a war to kill you 🙄
Uh how are they going to get me after losing a war. You do understand what happens to people that lose wars right?
Judging by your username, some of them are already your neighbors.
That’s the thing with a civil war: your enemy isn’t only on the battle field.
And in a country with ridiculously lax gun laws and extremely insufficient mental health care system, you could be next to a deranged MAGA cult member and future murderer at any time.
And on that cheery note, I’m gonna go to bed! Have a pleasant day 😁
