    My God that headline is terrible. That’s the most sane shit he said.

    “When people ask me…What’s gonna happen if the Flip — Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say…write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo…when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live…We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families…who supported their arrival!” the post said.

    He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.

      The “locust” bit is getting far too little attention. The history of comparing undesirable populations with vermin is long and filled with horrific violence.

      So, par for the course with US law enforcement.

      “locust” is for those times when nazi rhetoric doesn’t feel biblical enough.

      Yeah, let’s keep a list of who’s not armed so they can cross reference that with their sign list before they go on the offensive. Great idea.

        The feds have a list of gun owners, it’s just not pulled from gun sales or anything like that. It comes from data, bought up from internet data brokers, deanonymized and put into your FBI file. Like if you’re liking and sharing a bunch of ammosexuals and tacticool content, or whatever you’re doing publicly online, the feds know.

    Im trans and I have multiple trump people in my neighborhood. My partner and I have agreed us putting up either pride flags or Harris signs would simply make ourselves targets since we live in a red state and county. I don’t want people like this to put me on a list so they can come and attack the house if their fascist leader comes into power. Something that while they would want to do, I’m not positive they’d actually have the guts to do.

    Regardless, this shit terrifies me.

      Are you armed? You don’t have to reveal political affiliation to go to a gun range and learn how to shoot and basic gun safety.

        I definitely need to learn how to shoot, I did when I was a kid but haven’t gone shooting in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t feel safe to actually get armed just because of my own mental health. I do have friends who are armed, though, and they’re willing to come help if need be.

      Im not trans but I often think about my leftist views being on the Internet, in the surveillance age, we really really cannot let these motherfuckers into more power. Shit will hit the fan quickly.

      I’m a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I’m intentionally avoiding showing up on any “lists” that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It’s not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.

    Anybody voting republican is actively encouraging this nazi shit, and if they don’t realize they are they’re probably too stupid to be voting.

      unfortunately the only people who are too stupid to vote are those who don’t or those who vote third party knowing they have no chance. it’s like Darwin awards but instead of the gene pool they take themselves out of the voting pool.

      actually, if it goes a certain way maybe out of the gene pool as well.

    In other countries, not only would the voter suppression be illegal, but racial hate speech would also land this fucker in jail.

    During the last election, there were a band of Yahoo’s running around with a spray paint marker putting blue dots in front of houses that had Democrat yard signs.

    They’re preparing for civil war. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but they are marking targets.

      For years, the American center-left has been casting these threats as illegitimate. Gravy seals, yall queda, meal team six, etc.

      And now since they have successfully downplayed this threat, we are woefully unprepared. People need to get armed, now.

    Police are fine with not following the law and pushing it to the limits to harass people. Be safe out there if you plant your sign for whoever you’re voting for.

      What good does it do to highlight random citizens? Of it was businesses and politicians. But this does not help. Is there any confirmation that these people are trumpers.

        Nope. Just pictures of people’s homes and addresses and whatever anyone wants to put on the description. Take a picture of your neighbor that took your parking spot and say they shoot at people and see what happens! Fun for the whole family!

        What an awful, ugly idea.

        Por que no los dos? Mr. Davis does fine work. People can change, but until then others should be concerned for their safety around them.
