Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore on Tuesday told “War Room” host Steve Bannon that he plans to push the legislature to defund Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, arguing that Trump’s prosecution threatens to ignite a “civil war.” Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend “a million dollars” to defend himself in the case. “It’s just like Nazi Germany,” Moore claimed. “I mean, they want to call us the Nazis and their actions are Nazism.”

    I think it’s at a point where the left needs to arm themselves and train their family to operate firearms safely. 2024 will see “lone wolfs” born of stochastic terrorism like this. They are prepping the handful of armed mentally ill to commit violence on Americans if they don’t get their way.

    There were multiple bomb threats against elementary schools and libraries recently.

      The SRA is way ahead of you, my comrade. Just look around. We don’t talk at the range, just shoot and train. You’ll find us.

        What is the SRA? Googling that reveals many organizations share those initials

        Commies acting like they’re hard never stops being funny to me.

        In America, your communist uprising is terrorism, Comrade, not revolution.

        Your post history is chock full of calls for violence, and frankly, that’s weird for a dude in his 40s to constantly fantasize about. Grow up, man. You’re middle-aged. It’s time to stop playing kid shit.

          There are practically no American ‘communists,’ and more importantly there is statistically no American ‘left;’ that being said those of us that are left-wing never stopped being armed. Unlike American conservatives in either the democrat or republican party, we are staunchly against all gun control. As a reminder: “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered,any attempts to disarm the people must be stopped, by force if necessary.” is a Karl Marx quote, not one of the American right-wing. When the US government started rounding up and killing communists in the 1940s and 50s, we started ensuring that we were armed, and that we absolutely were not ‘card-carrying communists,’ those of us one or two generations removed now remember the stories we were told, how it affected our family, and how important it will be to stay armed regardless of whatever ‘Liberals’ say is necessary for a free state. Liberalism has lead to fascism in every fascist regime, the ‘left’ does not recognize gun control.

            I’m aware that there are not enough of you to count as anything more than terrorists should you start getting violent, which is why I said that.

            There will never be a communist revolution in the US.

            The rest of your opinion is meaningless because of aforementioned numbers.

              You’re right, the US will fall long before it moves the slightest bit left wing. Which is probably a good thing all considered. The first iteration of an experiment is rarely successful, and the US laid the ground work for the EU which again is an improvement on the model of mostly independent states with baseline common values in need of common defense. But when you need worker’s rights again, and you will – we’ll be there again. When you need civil rights again, and you will – we’ll be there again. We’re really, really good at surviving right-wing and fascist regimes. Really good.

                  Sorry you forgot the reason you’re not currently locked in a factory with a gun pointed at your head for a chance to win MineCorp FunBux is because of red state socialists committing some pretty severe acts of violence against the state and US military during strikes. In revisionist history, nothing at all happened at Blair Mountain.

      The lefts stance on gun control and violence will literally kill us. I’ve been kicked out of so many left-leaning communities for saying I own guns and target shoot in my spare time. Motherfucker, these people are shooting our children and families at the mall and you’re too scared to pick up a 9mm and learn how to use it because guns are scary? The alternative is a lot scarier.

        I guess there’s a tipping point where there’s so much guns laying around that carrying over is safer than not but I would rather put efforts into avoiding reaching that tipping point.

        Almost all problems can be solved with either violence or kindness.

        This. It doesn’t matter if you’re a liberal, or progressive, or just a Democrat. If you don’t love Trump and Jesus like they do, you will be a target. Win or lose for Trump this election, there will be violence. I sure am not going to a bullet trap for some brush ape. Load the fuck up people.

        The two topics I usually argue with my Mom about are why I feel the need to own guns because they’re scary and should be illegal and how the fascists want to overthrow our democracy. I’m always confused about how such an intelligent person can’t see the folly in this line of thinking. Why would you want to ban the very tool necessary for protecting our freedoms from those who want to take them from us through force and violence. Stay armed, and stay safe. The world keeps getting scarier.
