Omarosa isn't a Commie, she fled the Soviet Union so she didn't have to be one.
In my own limited experience, commies are rare as hen's teeth in the USA, but if you happen to find one, they're typically proud to admit it.

Republicanism is now a movement that is actively hostile towards governing. It cannot abide it.
It exists now only as a series of trolls intended to disparage Americans outside their membership,

Pro-vigilante, pro-violence
Sorry this is happening to you.
Nothing happened to me, tbh. I already knew your side glorifies vigilantism and political violence.
The jury disagreed with you. They actually viewed the evidence and heard the testimony.
Maybe try again in Georgia. That one looks to be a slam dunk. You could get a whole thread of memes and tweets with nary an interruption on that one.
I wasn't commenting on the jury verdict, the post was about Madicson Cawthorn and Republicans glorifying violence and vigilantism. Kyle Rittenhouse is a vigilante and a killer, period.

"not all fascists"
(interesting and informative article, but the news that political slurs are "not well-grounded" in historical understanding is neither as illuminating nor as devastating as the author presumes.)

(Aside: Paul Gottfried's writing in Telos was an influence during my college days, particularly his concept of the therapeutic-managerial state, and I've posted about John T Flynn in this forum, back during my asshole libertarian phase. Both are worth reading imho whether you agree with them or not. )

You'd be better off asking all those working on that pipeline who were let go day 1 of Biden's fraud presidency.
The Republican Party's Murderous New Normal
This telling moment heightens the
feeling of apprehension provoked by recurring threats and incidents of actual violence emanating from the far right and then
justified, usually with indignant enthusiasm, by Republican elected officials at the highest level.
The anger and hatred that have long simmered within that party are rapidly devolving into homicidal rage.
All but two House Republicans voted to excuse Gosar's glorification of political violence.
What has changed in the past few years is
the accelerating acceptance of violence among Republicans
since the defeat of former President Donald Trump and
his encouragement of sedition and insurrection by his followers,
who now form the Republican Party's boiling base.
McCarthy, it is no longer possible to act with decency and principle against the neo-fascist element in his caucus if he ever wants to be speaker of the House.
McCarthy is a leader only in one respect: he leads in Republican cowardice.
At a public event in Idaho, where a man asked when he could "kill these people," meaning Democrats, and was applauded loudly;
at school board meetings across the country, where "concerned parents" threaten to murder public officials and their families;
at the homes of election officials who answer the phone at night and hear obscenely menacing words.
the justification of it by Republican officialdom — and their attacks on officials who seek to investigate and discourage those threats.

The fascist Capitalist oligarchy is financing the Repugs' descent into violence.

Fueled by Trump-inspired grievance, attempts to terrorize public officials escalate
Through public records requests, several previously unreported incidents came to light —
while Capitol Police officials say the agency expects to log more than 9,000 threats this year.
even elections officials — a less prominent rung of public service that is nonetheless central to democracy — are reporting threats.
records detailing any threats over the last year to 37 public officials.
The list included congressional Republicans who voted to impeach or convict Trump;
Democrats who, like Neguse, served as impeachment managers;
and high-profile governors and secretaries of state.
Most agencies reported having no relevant do ents or cited legal exemptions that prevent the disclosure of a public official’s security concerns.
they feel that they can say whatever they want to say and actually make threats against your life
What's distressing is … the reason that they believe this is that they've been lied to.”
sinister tone of political dialogue has expanded to smaller partisan grievances and debates over policy, with
Trump and Republicans egging on the vitriol.

This is the degraded, intolerant, violent America that FASCIST Trash and Repugs want
Federal investigation finds a key part of the 2020 Republican National Convention was illegal
back in August 2020 when former unlawfully appointed acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf presided over
a political stunt that used immigrants as human props as part of an effort to reelect the previous president?
A number of the immigrants who were sworn in as U.S. citizens in that White House naturalization ceremony would later say they weren't informed prior to the stunt that it would be broadcast as part of the Republican National Convention.
the Office of Special Counsel has determined that
at least 13 officials with the previous administration violated the Hatch Act, "illegally mixing campaign and government events."
Among those named is, unsurprisingly, Unlawful Chad.
The Office of Special Counsel said in the report that the administration had been warned repeatedly that such an event would be unlawful.
The stunt went on anyway.

so what's the punishment? Repugs KNOW they will be none.
Most White Women Without College Think Biden Didn’t Legitimately Beat Trump in 2020
While 95 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of independents said “yes” Biden did legitimately defeat Trump,
only 23 percent of Republicans recognized this verifiable fact.
Seventy-seven percent said “no,” President Biden did not legitimately beat Trump.
a disturbingly large minority — 39 percent — of independents who believe that President Biden did not legitimately beat Trump.

America is SO ED
Untraceable 3D-printed guns are now an epidemic, and
the GOP is making it worse
Between 2016 and 2020, over 23,000 unserialized firearms were used in crimes, including 325 homicides and attempted homicides.
One man, whose family claimed he suffered from mental illness and was forbidden from obtaining firearms, ordered kits to build multiple AR-15 assault rifles. He proceeded to go on a deadly rampage at several locations, including an elementary school.
A gunman in Baltimore also constructed an AR-15, which he used to shoot at four police officers.
​The Obama administration’s State Department stopped a libertarian activist, Cody Wilson, from publishing blueprints of 3D-printed weapons on the internet, and multiple courts ruled in favor of this policy.
However, once Trump came into office, that decision was reversed. In fact,
Wilson said the Trump administration gave him “everything they wanted,”
allowing Wilson to not only publish his blueprints,
but reimbursing him $40,000 for legal costs.
With Republican obstruction, Democrats and victims have been forced to get creative, and they have with civil suits.
