Anyone encountering this when they go to vote should call 911 to report voter intimidation.
We al knew this was going to happen.
I’d be like, “thank you for your service in making sure my vote for kicking the shit out of the republicans is safe.”
I’d be more like: “I’d like to say fuck you fascist for violating your oath and committing the crime of voter intimidation.”
Everyone should vote first then laugh at the fascist military losers.
We are just following orders 🤷♂️
Thats the same excuse ww2 German soldiers used, “I know its wrong to boil jew children and make soap out of them but o’ well, orders are orders haha lolkbye” or “well it’s just my job, I’m not really complicit, right?”
🙄 Pathetic
Yeah. That was the intended reference but didn’t think it needed further explanation
But basically the joined result of the trials was that orders can’t justify crime but in some cases make the punishment milder
I think most people know “just following orders” refers to Nazis. It’s a meme in the oldest sense: a shared cultural memory. It’s literally referred to as “the Nuremberg defense”.
Step into booth, check first box for Democrat
National Guard: (shifts gun in his hands) hmmm… No. Try again.
Check box for independent candidate
National Guard: (inspecting gun) closer… Try again
Checks box for Republican.
National Guard: You’re a true Patriot!™©® Thanks for taking the time to vote!
Yeah I can see that but realistically the goal is more likely to terrorize brown skinned people from voting.
Thats even their excuse, that they’re preventing undocumented immigrants from voting. Too bad that’s almost non-existent plus you can’t tell by the color of peoples skin
The first few hundred national guardsmen that storm the Whitehouse and TCB will be American legends, and will probably never have to lift a finger for the rest of their lives
Things that will never happen, for 200, Alex.
…if they survive, but yes.
It’s not right but I’m not afraid of national guard standing in front of a ballot box.
ICE? They’re unhinged with no accountability, seeming eager to murder the American people for little to no provocation.
I have a feeling the first part of this comment is going to age poorly
They’re trained. And they probably don’t want to be there.
ICE is untrained and very eager.
Given a choice, which would you prefer?
But yes, shit can always go sideways with this admin. They give zero fucks for We The People.
I’d avoid both but if I had to choose, I’d choose the ones that swore an oath to the constitution. Expecting people to honor their oath is a losing bet though, especially American soldiers, given the training they go through that systemically destroys their ability to critically think.
You should read about Kent State.
Excuse me? You can’t even legally wear cammo in other countries because of its intimidating nature. Glad to hear your not afraid of the oppression, I guess.
Made me look it up. What the fuck. I guess it’s good to know in case you travel with surplus to wear outdoors.
did he not get the memo that we’re a fascist state now? written laws are meaningless when no one enforces them, so “the law” becomes whatever tf dear leader wants it to be.
see: 1984
Land of the poor land of the pussies
Land of the indentured would be more fitting for a play on the original.
Now this… This is accurate.
Also the scheme is land of the x and the home of the y.
It feels like it’s going to rain like dogs and cats later.
No bigger pussy than the one calling other people names from the safety of their home.
Please arrest them.
