    If you support Trump you’re a Republican, but if you wish for him to fail you’re… Also a Republican?

    This is true if you think of America as being a white Christian ethnostate, and think Trump is trying to protect that or return to it. In other words, you’re a racist idiot and don’t deserve the benefit of being taken seriously.

    What if you wish for all that, but aren’t an American? Am I an International terrorist?

      No, you’re a neighbor who is watching the house across the street get lit aflame by its owner, and wondering if you should call the fire department, police, or just wait it out.

        And both the fire department and police department are in on it, and if you try to put out the fire yourself you get disappeared to El Salvador

    Here, I fixed it:

    “If you provide a false equivalence for trump failure equal being to America failure, if you wish for trump success when it is that that is causing America to fail, you’re a domestic terrorist.”

      It’s also a false equivalence that the U.S. (a state) failing is America (a nation) failing.

      If you wish for A you want B. If you want B you are C, where C = Domestic Terrorist and B = Wanting America to fail and A = Trump Failing

      But we can see counter examples is this template. Let’s assume ‘you’ is always American because an Iranian that satisfies A&B would not be a domestic terrorist.

      Instead imagine I have a massive put option placed on private prison stocks. I would want Trump’s deportation policies to fail which would drive down private prison expansion. I wouldn’t consider myself a domestic terrorist. Just betting against American businesses, which is already fair and square capitalism.

    Every trump thing should just be reflected.

    If you wish for President Biden to fail, you wish for America to fail. And if you wish for America to fail, you’re a domestic terrorist.

    I hate that we’re so far down the fascist path that Newsom’s social media guy trolling people on the Internet feels like a win.

    America has already failed. You’re Russia’s little bitch now.

    350+ million Americans will need to know the Russian anthem for the 2028 Olympics so you can all sing along to the glory of the motherland.

    I’m sure the anthem will be taught in schools this fall along with why your constitution isn’t worth the value of the paper it’s written on anymore. You know, because you’re a class 1 fascist country now. Congrats.

    If you supported Trump even after knowing what you were going to get, you were against America. What did you think, sitting down at the table with fascists?

    We have a peaceful revolution every four years. A potential change of power. The tools for that peaceful change have gotten old and broken, which is why we find ourselves here. So time to make some new tools.

    Okay so, to decipher their bs, they’re projecting that if anybody doesn’t believe in them, they’re a terrorist.

    …So that means that their playbook is terrorism.

    That adds up. They’re terrorists.
