My parents say to me to look for immigration in US and seeing things like this makes me more scared.
I have a friend who immigrated to the US, and then moved to Canada and became a citizen there. He likes it much better, he never wants to come back to the US haha. Maybe you could get your parents to switch to Canada or somewhere else instead if they don't want to give up on this? I live in the US and I personally cannot recommend immigrating here, especially right now.
Well, I don't wanna leave my city, let alone my country. I cannot make that understand to my parents but I just love the place where I am born even though it is not much safe place and it is one of those third world countries in South Asia.

If those Republicans could read a Bible, they'd be very upset.
And they'll still go on and on about the radical violent left 🙄
There are literally some of those braindead child-raping scumfuck parasitic wastes of skin in this very comment section claiming apropos of nothing that "leftist violence" is happening "all the time" and it's "right in front of us" as they gesture broadly at absolutely fuck-all jack shit zilch.
In their minds, the left did it first.
And in their historical precedent, they accuse us of doing exactly what they're about to do to us
This is something Democrats and the DNC need to understand: Republicans are willing to kill for their beliefs.
Until the DNC stops believing that Republicans will be "reasonable", Democrats will fail our country. It's only a matter of time until Trump has his version of the night of the long knives.
Just look at that AI post he made calling anyone opposed to AI traitors. His handlers are going to stop fucking around soon.
What post is that
The DNC is also willing to kill for their beliefs but Palestinians only please.
The DNC failed this country a long time ago, in what feels like a galaxy far, far away.
'We're doomed.'
Democracy was doomed when Nixon wasn't convicted of treason and sent to the firing squad.
People today are too far gone from the reality of our situation to understand this. Democracy is only meant to prevent killing one another en masse, as a means to say who would probably win in a war. That’s the very basis of its design.
Think about it. Think of human history. And why is the cutoff exactly >50%? Strength means victory- if not a pyrrhic one.
If you aren’t even willing to vote for your beliefs, you certainly aren’t willing to pickup a rifle. The other side still will.

But you damn well better not besmirch a dead Charlie Kirk.
Hypocrites. Assholes. Literal morons.
And Facebook has empowered these people.
I've seen cases they say simillar things like this on Facebook but encode it a bit, and Facebook never removes it.
Happy we might get new social media laws here in Australia to finally be able to opt out of empowering these assholes
I lived in SE Idaho during the Obama years and I lost track of how many times adults openly talked about shooting or hanging the President. My daughters reported that children on the bus would also fantasize and openly talk about killing the President. This is not even surprising for me, which is sad.
