Where did that phrase come from?
Trump found out that he can gas protesters. Permission was given to him for that church walk/photo op. No one did boo. So now, Trump is gasing protestors again.
When will you get gassed?.
Fascism, my friend. Fascism.
Well, a few things…
First and foremost, all authority is derived from a threat of force. Let’s just get that out of the way.
Second, the “agreement” not to use that force on our own citizens has been steadily blurred by an increasingly militarized police force. What we’ve been seeing in terms of civil unrest in this country is the inevitable result of that. The police in this country have turned themselves into an occupying force.
Third, conservative media has been gradually instilling a desire for violence in conservative culture. They’ve been doing this for decades. They’ve been playing the same familiar tropes that enable cultures to engage in the practice of othering, which makes them ambivalent to the idea of violence being inflicted on people outside of their cultural identity.
Lastly, Trump doesn’t give a shit about this, and neither do conservative representatives. Outright flagrant dishonesty is a pillar of cultural conservatism. Never believe what they are saying. They have a set of rules and protections that they apply to others, and an entirely different set that they apply to everyone else.
Tell that to the kids murdered at Kent State.
Fascism.
bare arms
Dude.
A, uh, government bearing arms against its citizens….why you ask…?
Posse Comitatus only applies to those wearing military uniforms. Dress them up with police uniforms and suddenly it’s “a okay”… 🤷♂️

What’s happening is that the other two branches of our government have (mostly) abdicated to the Executive branch; therefore, absent the lower courts who can’t act in real-time for the most part, Donald has carte blanche to do whatever he wants without any meaningful accountability.
This is the perfect time to army up and storm Fox News. Salem Media Group, OAN, the Heritage Foundation, and every other Nazi organization in the US.
Not to mention that both the SCOTUS and other courts have ordered this administration to cease deporting people without due process, which they’ve unsurprisingly have gone on to ignore.
There has been no blanket ban, however many individual cases are being reverse and TRO’s are flying in full swing. I’d suggest following this immigration attorney for a (very depressing) play-by-play including links to the filings.
Ahh, good to know. It’s hard to keep up with their constitutional crises blitzkrieg.
Police officers are part of the government, they bear arms against citizens literally every day. The premise is entirely flawed.
Is it, or are you accepting a state of being that you should not?
police are the front line troops of the occupation regime.
ICE and Feds are bunch of lil bitches
Get wrecked regime whores.
All the right wring patrios tucking their dicks when the time to stand tall came, tells you everything you need to know about the type of a “man” you are dealing with, a pathetic shit stain

Why would right wing people come out to protest ICE? They all voted for exactly what is happening.
no government shall bare arms against its own citizens
Is this some kind of quote? Because 90% of what all governments do is exactly that: using weapons against their own citizens.
citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.
Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.
citizens are the government though.
Did you mean that people in government are citizens? Because I’m a citizen of my country and not in the government.
if they are not, its not democratic country
Correct. The United States is not a democracy. It’s barely even a “representative democracy”.
people in government are citizens but not every citizen is in government. But every citizen should have equal right and opportunity to be in the government.
thats like literally what the executive does
Yeah. In Germany it’s called the “violence monopoly”.
I think you are mixing this up with the function of the executive goverment in a state with alleged separation of powers (one of the fundamentals of democracy).
A president himself sending out forces is in fact not normal.
Especially when both that city’s mayor and state governor explicitly do not want those troops there.
