The left is ramping up its Totalitarian language. This is just like in Cuba. First it was about helping the people through their Socialist Utopia. Then it was about neighbors snitching on neighbors, so they could compile lists of dissidents. Then it was about imprisoning and reforming or killing those dissidents. Just like in China with the Uighers. Have you noticed how silent the left in the US is about the Uighers in China? The left in this country views China as a superior system to the USA. The left in this country believe a Communist Dictatorship is a better idea than what we have. Only a few GOP leaders actually understand this. Many more GOP members still think the left is like the old Democrats we grew up with. One day soon, I hope they wake up to the fact that the Demcrats in this country have become Communists and they are now the enemy of the USA as we know. This is not a fight between political parties. This is a fight between those who want to remain free and those who want Communism in the USA.
---------- Leftists Suggest "Re-Education Camps", "Firing Squads", & Banning Talk Radio To "Deprogram" 75 Million Trump Supporters
Leftists responded to a Twitter thread asking “how do you deprogram 75 million people?” by suggesting Trump supporters should be interned in “re-education camps” and that all conservative talk radio should be banned.
“No seriously…how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook?” asked David Atkins (pronouns in bio), a regional director for California Democrats. “We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South,” he added.
This is not your standard partisan policy disagreement. This is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency.
The only actual policy debates of note are happening within the dem coalition between left and center left.
Atkins went on to frame Trump voters as a “conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency” before issuing a veiled threat by stating, “People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves.”
i mean, for chrissakes, conservatives are literally giving themselves COVID just to own the libs. They're dying in COVID wards insisting they don't have COVID because it must be a liberal plot.
People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves.
While asserting the moral high ground, many of the response in the thread demanded outright tyranny or yet more censorship as a means of ensuring “the good guys” have their way.
“Reeducation camps for those salvageable,” said another. Firing squad for irredeemable malcontents. Round up entire families to ensure the disease doesn’t spread.”

“Generally speaking, I believe re-education camps are a good thing,” added another.
Generally speaking, I believe re-education camps are a good thing. But we don’t need to send 75 million people there. Maybe we just need a party that represents their material interests so they won’t be so susceptible to future grifts?
Another called for the removal of “radio talk show hosts from airwaves through rigorous application of hate speech laws.”
Steps to deprogramming 70M deluded people: 1) @FCC to revoke @FoxNews broadcast license 2) Remove radio talk show hosts from airwaves through rigorous application of hate speech laws 3) send free newspapers to schools so kids can be exposed to truth 4) Free college tuition ...
Another respondent called for “banning Trump flags.”
Start by banning trump flags like we should have done with the confederate flag. One of our many mistakes and why we failed at Reconstruction. We should not allow a hate symbol to be flown with pride in our democracy. Germany got that one right after WWII
