This is bad folks. This will end warrants as they currently exist.

    This is going to be used to disarm the MAGA chuds so they don't pose a risk to the Republic any more. If some of them resist and get shot, so much the better. If they declare the government is tyrannical for trying to take their guns and attempt an armed rebellion, it's an excellent chance to take them all out at once. Just think of all the nice things we can have without them in the way.

        I dunno, the US government is terrified of an armed revolt. The first thing any tyranny does is disarm the people. The MAGA chuds are going to resist, and the government is going to crush them like a bug. Imagine a life where they are no longer a going issue and have zero political power. It's a better world.

            Nope, Biden is kicking them out of the military as we speak. Warning of a sudden new threat of "extremism" from the right, the Pentagon is indoctrinating military service members in a program packed with progressive ideology.

              Damn, that might work on the Pentagon nerds, but it isn't going to do shit for the already existing white supremacists within the police force and the military apparatus.

                Give the Biden administration six months and the rank and file of the US military will be purged. The tears will be delicious as they get discharged for disloyalty.

          Some poor whites and militia adjacent folks perhaps. Something tells me no one is going to be kicking down the doors of that St Louis mansion couple.

        How? The left aren't gun nuts. It's the right that are a threat to the US government, precisely because they do have guns. And when they get organized, they can be terrifyingly effective. The trains running to the camps ran on time.

          Under no pretext, except that one pretext where our right wing police state is going to use increased police power to target its ideologically aligned paramilitaries and not the targets of its oppression for some reason

      I don’t know why we’d expect the police to all of a sudden stop disproportionately targeting black people.

      And it doesn’t get as much publicity, but organizers are targeted a lot as well.

      We saw how much the proud boys and Capitol rioters got preferential treatment despite actually being violent, so I wouldn’t count on this extension of power to be used primarily against them.
