His immunity defense isn’t merely a legal argument. He’s priming his base to back wanton lawbreaking if he wins back the White House.

The fact that so many people support this man is sickening. If he is elected again, fairly, then this country deserves the doom that will follow.
If he runs again and loses, I’m not confident that we still won’t be fucked. The flat out refusal to recognize losing at all levels will start one hell of a wave of stochastic terrorism.
I don’t even fucking care. Let the stochastic terrorism come; it’s the least-bad alternative on the table at this point.
Make no mistake: capitulating to the fascists in any way is infinitely worse.
Absolutely! I refuse to give in because of the risk of what would happen. I just wish we weren’t in this situation.
Im not confident in that either but this is a situation that the government is likely prepared for. They know that he’s the leader and if you shut him up or take him down then there’s no one to lead or stage coups or collective violence against the state. So his followers are welcome to do whatever they want but it’ll be predictable and infiltrated immediately just like Jan6 was.
However, if he wins there will be no way for the state to oppose him effectively. He’ll gut most of our major departments and do extremely unpopular things without opposition. And we already learned that presidents have far too much unchecked power. If he wins, buckle up.
If he wins, It’ll be because of all the gEnoCiDe jOe kids. They’re helping him more than they’ll ever know.
On one hand, you’re not wrong. On the other hand, Biden could undercut their argument real quick by changing his mind about supporting Netanyahu.
I think standing against genocide is an admirable thing to do.
I know I know, it’s not something that we’re used too as Americans. We haven’t had justified war since, what, Korea? Kuwait? War for spoils doesn’t justify, imo. Helping an invaded ally, does.
Following, Israel’s response isn’t in line with the Hamas attack. Neither was America’s war on Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.
What was the stat? A full 60% of Palestinians in Gaza weren’t even alive the last time hostilities broke out? But those kids are dying all the same. Bombing out refugee pathways -that Israel dictated even - really, REALLY isn’t a good look. That Gaza has no hospitals left? Bibi openly talking about the forced removal of the whole region…that’s CLEAR-AS-FUCKING-DAY genocide.
I got nothing against Jews, in fact, the closest people to me outside my blood family are Jewish. I LOVE Jews. I LOVE their perspective and expression of community and family. I fucking admire that in them. idgaf yr religion or where yr ancestors hail from, but after this shit, with the hard-line right and orthodoxy running things (everyone said Bibi sold his soul to make that coalition), if Zionism means imperialism, colonialism, apartheid, and hatred dressed up in whatever dog whistle you choose, then add Zionism to the list of things I dont support. It can share that stage with Nazism, Stalinism, Objectivism, Corporatism, Calvinism and many more other -isms I don’t care to search for atm.
You don’t get to take help after a tragedy just to recover your strength then seek your turn on top of the wheel of oppression. That gets us nowhere and exposes you as just as bad as your oppressors. Israel has lost any moral ground they might have claimed to have. They’re just a terrorist state in my eyes and I don’t want my taxes going to fund their hate campaigns.
I am not on the side of hate. Ever. It’s that simple. And if that costs gEnOcIdAl jOe, as you say, the election, then, well, he fucking earned that. And RIP America then. If war breaks out in our soil, we’ll never see peace on the continent again, not in our lifetimes, not in our children’s lifetimes, and all the ecological damage from all that warring will prob ensure that our grandchildren or great-grandchildren will be the last generation.
Since mods are deleting comments here without reason, I’m not allowed to respond to you in disagreement.
Not all the mods are willing to put a target on their back by telling trolls to stop being trolls. I prefer responding because I really do believe good moderation is transparent.
In THIS specific case, I COULD remove your comment under rule 4:
“regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.”
But frankly, I don’t find it bothersome enough to do so.
Yeah. I’m getting comments deleted with no reasoning. It’s always this way in this community. I’ve had accounts banned for no reasoning. There is an absolute bias here and there’s no denying it.
If you had a comment removed, always check the modlog (if it loads!) Not all mods post public comments, but the modlog will have removal reasons. I’ve been having trouble with the modlog tonight, but I’ll see if it can load your stuff.
The log points to a comment that was removed, so there’s no way to know what was said.
Generally the log will contain the full comment if it was removed under “Remove Comment”.
The bit where it doesn’t is if the mod chose “Ban user - x day(s) - Remove Content”
That’s why, when it’s a ban level offense, I remove the comment first to preserve it in the log, THEN ban the user.
So this is weird, I got an alternate version of the modlog to load and it shows no action taken against you at all (at least under this user name).
PM me the details and I’ll raise it with the site admins.
I got banned from r/politics for saying killing Nazi’s is a great American tradition, and in my case, a family tradition, all my grandparents, and my wives grandparents were all overseas as part of the war effort.
If you want to find who’s really running a joint, find out who you can’t offend.
And the irony isn’t lost on me that you were summoned here to respond. Everyone here reports anything that goes against the hive mind. It’s absurd.
OMG you have no idea! I wish the report queue was as public as the modlog, but that would cause more problems as it identifies the reporter.
I think you got tricked and have a very simple view of things. 99.996% of all Palestinian people are still alive right now and daily deaths have dropped off. How is that genocide?
I get it. Not supposed to make people leave their homes. Well unfortunately Hamas built a military base underneath Gaza City so the people who live above it are going to have to leave now.
Humanity has long deserved their doom.
They vote for him because they would act like him if they could.
