    How many normal people will we allow conservatives to kill before we act? History has shown that an infestation of conservatism cannot be cured by pacifism.

    The war conservatives insist on waging against normal people will look exactly like this story. Conservative murders normal person in act of terrorism.

    Do your part to train and prepare. You don’t have to be a fighter to help others. Learn to evac wounded and administer trauma first aid. Teach others. Do your part.

      It’s definitely going that direction, and with no one willing to do what it takes to shut them down, America is destined to end up in another civil war.

      Of course, I’ve no doubt it’ll be over quickly and the conservative party will be abolished- it’ll still result in an unnecessary loss of a lot of lives.

      What an embarrassment america has become.

      There is nothing conservative about radical rightwing authoritarianism. They are fascists.

        There’s no reclaiming the label “conservative”. We lost it. We need a new brand.

          How about what an American Conservative is supposed to be conserving, what the parts of the world with a vaguely educated population calls them:

          Liberal.

            Well no. Conservative, to me, means a federal government that’s pretty much powerless to change anything in the States (10th amendment), that doesn’t invade the privacy of Americans (4th amendment), and that doesn’t go around waging war without declaration.

            That’s not what we have. That’s not what either conservatives or liberals want, so we need a new label.

                It’s classical liberalism, but the meaning of the word “liberal” has changed.

                  I’m not really interested in whatever Newspeak the people actively attacking democracy, education, and our Constitutional rights push, be they Reagan-type neoliberals or modern “conservatives” who sure do use a lot of dogwhistles they hope decent people are too clueless by design to hear until it’s too late.

                  When someone tells you they hate socialists and they’re definitely not a liberal, connect the dots.

            Tbh in most of the civilized world ‘liberal’ is not a compliment. American brought tankies, wokies and liberals to the worldwide left, and that is NOT something to be celebrated (or maybe as the CIA’s best psyop)

          You’re allowed to disagree. This man wasn’t killed by police because he disagreed with the shop owner having a rainbow flag. They killed him because he murdered her and (presumably) didn’t surrender when they caught up to him.

          I think what you’re talking about is the rest of us calling out your bigotry. That’s not oppression or control by the government. That’s society leaving you and your outdated beliefs behind.

              There is never a reason to debate or enter a conversation with a conservative. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.

              Conservatives insist on communicating through violence. So be it.

          Let’s compare:

          • The number of LGBT+ people murdered by conservatives for their sexual or gender identity

          Versus

          • The number of conservatives murdered by the LGBT+ community for their speaking out against the LGBT+ world

          They want to be treated like human beings. Nothing insane about that.

              And won??? So there’s not a current moment to ban books talking about LGBTQ people? There’s not a “don’t say gay” bill in Florida? There’s not people attacking trans kids and adults and making it illegal for them to get healthcare? Phew. I was so worried about all those things.
