Biden should give an executive order to lock this guy up for treason.
When people complain about that, point to the SCOTUS decision that the president can do whatever the fuck he wants without legal repercussions.
If any of the people who complain even vaguely hint at violence in reaction to this, give an order to lock them up for treason, too.
Keep this cycle going until the last grunt has understood that this type of behavior will not stand.
Once all the people willing to call for violence are locked up, use the same reasoning to disband the current SCOTUS and replace it with something that is not an embarrassment for a modern democracy, with a strong recommendation to immediately renounce the ruling that made all of that legal.
By the time the dust has settled Biden will be too old to be persecuted for any of that anyway.
I know none of this will happen, writing it out just as a happy little fantasy.
The problem (… a problem …) with this happy little fantasy is that Biden is old and timid and won’t rock the boat. We need forceful reaction and he’s just staying placidly in his lane.

So you want to counter fascism with fascism?
Counter terrorism with law…sure. SCOTUS approved!
I’m pretty sure Biden is living on borrowed time now. The only reason for him not to do whatever the hell he wants is to not affect Harris’ image.
If testing your 2A rights against the full force of the US military is what it takes to stop gun violence in America. I guess we need to find out.
I mean there’s military in the south too.
But the major thing is that while both sides will technically have nuclear weapons, only one side has the codes to launch them.
What? The south does not have their own military.
…Is this a bad time to ask what was in the top secret boxes trump had at Mar A Lago?
Mistakingly read that as Neil Breen, was very disappointed.
I think traitors to our country need to start being
hunghanged, publicly.Edit: Not like curtains.
*Hanged 🙂
Unless those traitors are e.g. a painting or curtains.
I didn’t know lions hung curtains. /s
Or are well-endowed.
Both hung and hanged are OK
They are on this guy.
TIL lol, ty.
Oh please you fucking hillbillies, do it.
Civil aint gonna be it.
I guarantee you a week ago this dude was crying because “Biden’s rhetoric was too crazy and led to the Trump shooting”
(Despite the fact the Trump shooter was a conservatuve)
If the facts don’t match my feelings, we should do a civil war!
Sabre rattling. He’s scared. Good.
I’m starting to get the impression they are shitting themselves.
They caught the car barking at Biden and now Kamala is going to absolutely wipe the floor with them.
Is he going to directly participate in this “Civil war”?
With his words…
Kinda good… If he shows his true colours and tried to fight the government forcefully… He will go to court for his crimes.
This ain’t so bad…
Lemmy users decry this while almost constantly demonizing all right-wingers as soulless racist misogynists. Anytime I suggest that right wingers might be more complex than a caricature of a 1960s villain, it goes over like a lead balloon.
The rhetoric is exactly as divisive on both sides and leads directly to politicians feeling comfortable calling for a civil war. It all feeds into the frenzy.
They have yet to display any complexity other than “fuck the libs.”
Yep, their only goals in life are to destroy the planet and kill liberals.
Perhaps you would like to share some of these goals?
Lol I’m sure that will change your mind, and it won’t devolve into me saying “people that vote for the GOP aren’t a monolithic group of evil tyrants” and you saying “all right wingers are vermin that should be extinguished”, I definitely haven’t had that same conversation 10 times on lemmy
Cool, so you don’t have any.
Lol sure buddy, until I prove otherwise, 50% of voters have no goals other than to kill and destroy. Totally reasonable viewpoint to have.
The fact that he said this in a recorded public setting would preclude this asshole from ever obtaining a security clearance but yet here we are that this chucklefuck is a Senator.
They have been screaming that shit ever since obama and they still haven’t done shit.
They’ve done plenty, just look at all the “right-wing lone-wolfs” that have killed so many Americans in the last four years. We’re already at war with these assholes, they just want it to keep escalating.
I think January 6 proved that they are more willing to take extreme measures. The tension has been noticeably increasing.
Yeah but imagine if there had been an actual armed response then. They would have been slaughtered.
I doubt they’ll be so chill this time.
The reality is the rhetoric at hand leads only to civil war or a coup if it continues. The fascists are no longer pretending to respect elections, they have multiple oligarchs funding their delusions, and they’re armed and violent.
It might not be this year, but it could be. Or the next.
This is why I can’t stand the holy than thou people saying na na na boo boo you won’t do shit about MAGA types in the comments of posts like these. J6 was a warning shot in the sense that we got lucky it was not well planned and that they were very stupid once they gained entry.
These people are crazy and they have demonstrated the willingness to act. It’s so dangerous to say they won’t do anything. They might not, but there is no calling it either way.
Till that one maga-hag took a bullet to the face. They stopped pushing that front REAL FAST.
Bring it, ya fat geezer.
He’s bringing it, just wait right there. Hang on. Be there in a sec- oh goldurn it, ran out of charge.
Absolutely, bring it. These LARPer pussies need to learn a lesson, one they’re not getting from video games, firearm manufacturers, and their imbecile Discord blabberings. So funny to think that THEY think that everyone but them is quaking in fear of their ‘civil war’ talk and vague threats of violence. Nobody’s afraid of them at all, nobody respects them at all, and that’s not going to change, period.
I’ve said it before, underestimate these people at your own risk. You see the fat losers because people post funny pics. You don’t see what I’ve seen.
The only reason they’re not a threat today is that no one voice has called them together, organized. If Trump wins you’ll see that organization bubble up over time.
Everyone that encourages war never saw it. The best course with young pumped up idiots is to encourage them to find an iraq or afghan war vet to tell them “how cool war was.”
people who couldn’t handle two weeks without Applebee’s in 2020 think they can handle the stress and fatigue of a prolonged war at home
CEOs: “stop complaining about layoffs and pay! you ought to have enough money in savings to live for SIX MONTHS with no income!!!”
also CEOs: “we’re GOING TO DIE if we don’t lift the lockdown RIGHT NOWWW!!!”
