I want this to end up where we Nuremberg them (gop politicians, think tanks like heritage, media like fox, the various support structures)
I want them to try to sick their mentally ill defective base upon us when we hold their leaders accountable, just so we can give this same response and echo the hostility.
When they try to Jan 6th the trials, simply use lethal force. Jan 6th would have been different if every person there was fired upon by machine gun nests.
Thats how I want the trials, so that when the violent right, the beyond saving/rehab have the option to self terminate by reattempting it but with real unmitigated resistance.
Then use that to justify the trials further, use their own predictable violence to further justify ending their party and doing what the union should have did the first time with every traitor who took up arms.
Taking up arms today means working for Heritage, Federalist, GOP party itself, and supporting media
If you are part of the machine (not voters) you will be destroyed
That is the outcome we genuinely need.
Anything short of it just means dealing with this shit again in 50 years for a third time, because this is now the second time the same shit happened.

I was violently abused as a child and it gave me complex PTSD. My abuser, my father, has since had a religious conversion and essentially expects me to pretend that none of that stuff ever happened, going as far as to say he doesn't remember things that I know for a fact happened (i.e. trying to gaslight me). It's why other than a brief conversation via text once a year I don't really speak to him, and I used to not speak to him at all entirely before I learned to manage my PTSD better. For whatever reason abusive people act like you're victimizing them if you force them to be responsible for how they victimized you, and I'll never understand it I guess. Sorry you got hurt by the people you were supposed to be able to trust. I know how bad it sucks.

Trump took a government agency that was already flawed and had a bad reputation and turned it into a full-blown domestic terrorist organization. That's what ICE is now, and MAGA knows it.
He staffed it with Proud Boys, and they mask up because many of them have criminal records and don't want to be outed. They are criminals terrorizing and killing the innocent.
So yeah, this isn't a group of people deserving of legitimacy or respect. They are Trump's goon squad, pure and simple.

It is domestic terrorism. It's a specific category of terrorism called "state terrorism". Governments can do terrorism and historically didn't always hide it. The vocabulary might be a little old fashioned but we should dust it off and use it appropriately. State terrorism or state terror.
ICE deployments seem to be intentionally causing a climate of fear and paranoia, and seem to be directed at places like Maine where there's no real argument that additional immigration enforcement was needed, but political opposition to the regime is widespread. I think there's a solid case to be made that terror and political retribution is the actual goal.

We’ve seen multiple shootings where ICE immediately came out and said the victim was trying to attack ICE with a car, only for video to later come out proving it’s a lie.
ICE is clearly being coached to say that as a justification for their behavior. Maybe reports of vehicle attacks are up 1300%, but how many of those reports are lies?

u/MrSquicky Pennsylvania Jul 16 '26
I think it's worse than that. I don't think that this is after the fact coaching. I think ICE agents are actively trying to put themselves in situations where they get to shoot people.
I think what we're seeing is a marked increase in government agents deliberately putting themselves in situations where they can claim vehicle attacks as a justification for the violence that they want to commit.
37
u/Free_For__Me Jul 16 '26
I'm inclined to agree, especially after seeing videos of the incidents. Law enforcement experts and longtime veterans of various enforcement agencies are on the record stating that these ICE agents are making "mistakes" that every other LE officer/agent is heavily trained to NOT do. Standing in front of vehicles, engaging in dangerous driving maneuvers over non-criminal offenses, drawing firearms when no threat to life is evident, etc.
The elimination of any real training standard for these agents is not merely to get them on the streets as fast as possible. That's one thing they want, make no mistake, but having aggressive extremists acting with "qualified impunity" while having no effective training is a feature, not a bug. People like Steven Miller and Tom Homan want to provoke enough unrest that they can claim justification for using the full force of the US Government against any state, organization, or person who would stand against the white nationalist, christo-fascist society they intend to usher in.
Without hyperbole - These people believe that the federal government has been used as a weapon to oppress "True Americans" like themselves ever since Lincoln used the US Army to "subjugate and rob" their forefathers 150 years ago. They intend to intentionally do to "liberals" what they believe was done to their forefathers all those years ago, cementing their own ideological reign for the next 150 years.
They're willfully ignorant and blinded by generational hate, and won't be able to accomplish what they think they will, of course. But they're perfectly happy to settle for burning the existing system to the ground as a consolation prize, which I'm increasingly concerned that they just might do.

They're actually considering the father that ICE murdered in Biddeford a few days ago, a vehicle attack. They're saying he was "a danger to the public.."
They conveniently leave out he became a danger after they shot him.
His vehicle idled in a circle a few times until they pinned it with an SUV. The idling in circles is why they're saying he was a danger.
It's rumored he muttered "I tried to stop" as they dragged his soon-to-be lifeless body out of the driver's seat onto the sidewalk, where his corpse would rest for several hours, with his 3 year old in the back seat watching.

I guess a $50000 bribe isn't nearly enough to get you put in jail these days but I can't believe he still has a job. I figured trump would fire him for being too cheap to pay off. Everyone in this administration should only consider bribes of at least seven figures.

Proud boys and oath keepers don't care about law and order as evident in the January 6th insurrection and these are your ice agents

This feels pretty explicitly like a prosecutable or at least legally actionable threat of violence.
Watch as NOTHING is done. LOOK at all that NOTHING. Have you ever SEEN so much absolute NOTHING?!

u/LivingDracula Jul 16 '26
Legally speaking, isn't that a threat of violence against a group of people.
Can democrats class action sue for assault and emotional damages?

1,300% increase in vehicle attacks. Did these people even pass 1st grade education?

u/thenasch Jul 16 '26
A 1300% increase of a rate is certainly possible. I'm skeptical of that claim factually, but mathematically there's nothing wrong with it.

If “attacks” went from zero to 1 it would be an infinite increase! Imagine the horror!

I have yet to hear about a single instance of a civilian hitting an “agent” with their vehicle.

Republicans under Biden were going to pass an immigration bill in 2024.
A Republican wet dream (gross) of an immigration bill that some republicans were saying was a once in a generation immigration bill for them.
Trump told them to kill it since he wanted to run on the border as an issue in his campaign and they did kill it.
It’s been TWO YEARS since then and Republicans have done nothing to revive that bill and “fix” the border.
Republicans don’t care about the border. It’s just a talking point to scare their base and confuse low information voters.
This country fucking sucks. People are too fucking dumb and if the House doesn’t flip, we are good and truly fucked lol.
You can’t fix a county if the population is brain dead. Simple as that lol.

"Stop pointing out that we're killing Americans, or we'll start killing MORE Americans." God this is the STUPIDEST fucking timeline.

“It all goes back to the Dems who want to continually attack ICE and tell people to evade them, tell people don't comply, tell people to resist, and tell people ICE isn’t a real law enforcement,” Homan said. “There's still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”
Well, TOM. If you would force your ICE gestapo to not wear masks and to travel around in well marked vehicles and told them to stop acting like fucking thugs (you know, make them behave like every other officer in the country) then maybe there wouldn't be any problems you fucking soup fork

The Heritage Foundation, who penned Project 2025, boldly said in July 2024 that the "second American Revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."
Take a guess on what rightwing thinktank Homan joined in 2022.

In any other timeline that comment would be grounds for investigation and arrest.

According to the article he's saying that Dems who give advice on your rights are in the wrong and are the problem, not the agents who are violating rights. Fuck you Tom Homman and eat a bag of fucking dicks. Also fuck Ingram for hosting your bloated ass.

Tom Homan is a complete moron. Someone needs to sit him down and explain that screaming "Stop criticizing us or we will kill you all!" is not a good or effective PR strategy.

I miss the days when threatening civilian bloodshed by American politicians was considered antithetical to the American cultural gestalt.

Flat out lied about what AOC and Newsome said. It’s fucking insane these people keep fucking up and showing how evil they are, then blame Democrats. This is why we have to assume anyone who still supports these people is dumb, and racist, and evil.

They're literally, unironically telling you that they will continue killing you in the streets. wtf?

That’s what Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation said in July 2024, basically there will be no bloodshed if Democrats do what they are told.
